There are many days in a girl's life that are super important. Girls look forward to their prom, their first college formal, their engagement, and definitely their wedding. For any of these events, women are determined to always look their best. They have to be prepared for any possible camera opportunities. The best part about being prepared, is going to the salon to get ready for these events. Here are some of the things I absolutely love about going to the salon:

1. The Smell

This is probably not good for anyone health-wise, but there's something about the smell of hair dye mixed with shampoo and conditioner. I don't think I would like it if I worked in it all day long, but just for a few hours I love the smell of the hair chemicals. It hits you as soon as you walk in and leaves with you as you walk out.

2. The Excitement of Uncertainty

You usually have an idea of what you want to be done to your hair, but sometimes you may not describe it right, or the picture you have to give isn't exactly how you want it done. This causes a small amount of uncertainty to be planted within our brains. The entire time I am getting my hair done, all I can think is, "What if it's terrible? Or not what I wanted?! What if I can't pull it off?! This is totally going to look stupid!!" Most times, you are stressing over nothing, but sometimes it really does go badly.

3. Your Tin Foil Crown

It is always funny seeing everyone around you sporting tin foil crowns. I feel as if I could transmit a message to an alien from outer space when they begin placing it on my head. Plus, if you're always cold like some people, going under the hair dryer is kind of nice for a while.

4. Shampoo and Conditioner

My absolute favorite part of going to the salon is when they wash my hair. If I could pay someone to wash and comb my hair every day, I might do it. It is very relaxing and at this point it is almost time for you to see the finished product. While they are washing your hair, you almost forget about being worried if it is going to look stupid or not.

5. The Cut

This can be a crucial moment where your hairstylist can make or break your time spent at the salon. I have had multiple bad experiences when only getting my hair trimmed. This is also the time to decide whether you want to switch it up, or continue with your normal cut.

6. The Final Product

This is my second favorite part. Sometimes hair stylist will turn your chair away when they're blow drying and styling your hair, so they can wheel you around to the mirror for the big reveal. This is the time you make your decision whether you've had a great experience, or if you won't be coming back. It's what you've been waiting for, so it's super exciting.

I love going to the hair salon and if you've never been to one, you should give it a try. But if you like box coloring your hair, that's fine, it's just fun to try something different every once in a while. I hope all of your hair cuts and colors are beautiful and everything you've ever wanted!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
