The Girl With 1,000 Faces

Expressing yourself is more important than be considered professional.

Some people have their cars, computers, or a sport, I have dying/cutting my hair. I just dyed my hair for the 1,000th time and every time I change my look in someway I feel more confident, comfortable, and just over all happier.

I have changed my look so many times through my life that my friends never get used to one look. Earlier this year I cut all of my hair off and vowed to never color my hair again, but as much as I tried, I just did not feel like myself without changing my own appearance again.

I have changed so much about my looks over the years, and every time I do something I get the same comment; "Why are you changing who you are?" Here is my answer to that; I am who I am and I will always be myself. Just because I get a new piercing, a tattoo, a new haircut, or fake eyelashes, it does not mean that I am changing who I am as a person. In reality the things I do to change my look is another way I am finding myself and who I REALLY am.


I am 20-years-old and only continuing to discover myself and the best way for me is to change my look very often. So, next time you see someone constantly changing her or his look, don't judge them as being fake or like someone else accept them for their bad-ass choices to express who they really are and who they are discovering to be. Everyone changes over time, some more drastically than others. I love that I live in a generation that does not judge for "crazy hair colors "and piercings, because that is who I am, and I will always continue changing, that is my best quality. I believe everyone should be comfortable in their own skin and stand up for what they believe in. I am hoping to be a role model for those younger than me, to show that it is acceptable, no matter what others say, to be who they want to be no matter what they look like or how often they change.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
