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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
