A First Time Experience With Hair Dye

Why my hair is now purple.

A First Time Experience With Hair Dye
Abigail Scott

So to set the scene, I lost a bet with a friend. While getting pumped to play one of the escape games in the area with my sister, and two friends, I decided it would be a good idea to bet that we couldn’t get out within the hour given to us, but if we did I would dye my hair any color picked as long as it wasn’t orange. It is safe to say I lost that bet and have fulfilled it today. And now my hair is a vibrant purple.

This hair dye is the first time I have ever done anything with my hair, and I have to say that despite my apprehension to dying it a funky color, I have fallen in love with it quickly. Go big or go home, right? The process started with me chopping off enough hair to create a furry monster on the floor of the salon, and then we bleached it, and boy was that a process. I had foils in my hair for about two hours, before we rinsed and dried it, just to put more foils in my hair. Because of how thick my hair is, I was in the salon for about four hours, but the result is more than worth it.

I thankfully have wonderful friends who chose to dye my hair my favorite color, purple, and I can’t stop looking at it, and playing with it. My hair just became a fabulous source of my personality, as weird as that sounds, and I can’t wait to walk around with my new hairstyle.

For those who are thinking about dying your hair, while it is pretty expensive compared to at home dyes, go get it professionally done, at least the first time. There will be no errors if done this way. And also, don’t go alone. Take a friend to dye your hair together. One of the best parts of this experience was being able to yell at my friend, Kristen, from across the tiny salon as she got her hair dyed back to black. I definitely recommend getting your hair dyed, and most especially recommend to do whatever color you want, the crazier the better!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
