Brows: A Mode of Communication

Brows are a lot more than just a couple lines on your face.

Brows: A Mode of Communication
TheReluctantPaladin

There are some things in life that you have to face everyday and brows are one of them. Brows are the frame to the picture, the highlight on your notes, or simply, the most important feature of ones face. Heres why: when we communicate, a lot of that communication is nonverbal i.e. hand gestures, body positioning, and facial expressions. Brows facilitate in the production of facial expressions which makes them the number one priority because guess what, if you have nice brows, people understand you more.

Now hear me out, I know what I’m claiming is a little bit out there and I know that I haven’t exactly tested this hypothesis however, from my daily life I have come the conclusion that I speak with my brows. If I’m happy, confused, upset, nervous or display any other human emotion not mentioned, my brows play a pivotal role in conveying my emotions. It basically gives the people around you a way to read your mind so you don’t have to tell them you're annoyed with them after you waited for them to get ready for half an hour.

If I had ugly bushes of hair on my face then I can guarantee you that all people would think aside from how hideous I looked would be that I appeared consistently angry. Brows are so much more than a visually aesthetic feature. In fact to prove my hypothesis, I urge you to consider the dog breed Doberman Pincher. They have a form of brows on their cute little faces which makes it a truly incredible experience communicating with them because it actually feels like you are talking to a human who is trying so hard to understand you.

Brows are the glue that is keeping this country together so we must keep them sharp and strong despite Trump’s vigorous attempts to tear out country apart. Because lets face it, he may be able to take away our rights, but he can never take away our brows.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
