The Good, The Bad, The Man Bun

Yep, the discussion of the dreaded man bun.

Man Bun Hair Style

We have all seen the new hair style men have been sporting here recently: the man bun. Yes, some men can successfully rock the man bun. However, some can not.

The man bun has been seen on everyone from Harry Styles to John Luke Robertson, and has made its way across the internet and Instagram. Heck, there is even a hashtag for the hairstyle.

Not only are these famous men showing of their man buns, but guys around campus and in everyday life are also doing this hairstyle.

But why? Why do men think that man buns are suitable? And what makes them appealing?

Lets admit it, on some men it's EXTREMELY attractive; however, in my opinion, I would rather my boyfriend not have one. Buns are usually a woman's hair style, am I correct?

Lets not forget to give a shout out to the person who made the account on Instagram @manbunsofdisneyland (man buns of Disneyland). They seriously post pictures of attractive men with man buns at Disneyland. I mean, why not post pictures of random people at Disneyland with man buns?

So are man buns really bad? A lot of people have different opinions on the man bun. Sure, some guys have nasty hair and it makes their man buns not very appealing. Personally, I think that if it looks neat it's fine. Men cannot pull off messy buns like us ladies can. Additionally, they really only look good on men with well kept facial hair.

However, there are many pros and cons on the man bun discussion. Everyone has their opinions, and not everyone agrees with how you think.

So go on with your bad selves guys, and flaunt your man buns!

Just remember though, everything can be taken too far!

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?
