Everyone has had that late night thought, "I wonder what I'd look like with X hair color." Everyone has also had that moment of "Should I really dye my hair?" Well, I have an answer for you: absolutely!!! I will always advocate for a transformation, especially in the hair color department and here's six reasons why.

1. Because You Can

First and foremost, dye your hair because you can. It's not permanent, even if you use permanent dye. You hair will grow back out. Even if it turns out awful, guess what? You can just do it again! Plus sometimes it's good to do stuff just because you can.

2. It Gives You A Confidence Boost

No matter if your a dyi kinda gal or you want to a salon, there is nothing like walking out of the house with a fresh dye job and your hair perfectly styled. It just adds a little oomph to your look and a little pep in your step.

3. The Best Time To Try Out That Neon Pink Hair Color Is Your College Years

Let's take a moment and be honest with ourselves here. When else is perfectly acceptable to dye your hair crazy colors? Do you think your boss is going to be thrilled when you walk into their office with bright purple/green/pink/orange hair? Probably not. Some of you may have done the bright hair thing in middle or high school, but let's be honest: it didn't really work on you back then.

I mean does anyone who had pink hair in middle school look back and think "that was a good look"? Nope. But now that you're older you have a little more experience on how to style that pink hair, it'll it be much more becoming.

4. To Jump Start Getting Over Whatever Phase Or Rut You've Been Stuck In

We all get stuck in those places in life. The ones where you just feel kind of bleh. Or when you know you've been in a phase (like that middle school goth phase) for too long. Dying your hair is a great way to start getting out of that mindset! Whether that's going for more a natural look or amping it up and adding some fun color, sometimes it's good to start with an easy (and non-permanent) physical change.

5. To Show That One Ex That You're Def Way Hotter Without Them

Giphy

We all know that when a girl dyes her hair after a break she is through with them. She is fed up and moving on to greener pastures, better housing, sparkling water, you name it-she's improving it. Dying your hair that color that your ex always told you not to but you knew would look good on you is so satisfying. Not only do you get to prove them wrong, but you get to be even hotter than before.

6. To Reminder Yourself That Change Can Be Good

Giphy

Sometimes when you're going through a lot of changes it can be overwhelming and make you hate change. I mean some people just hate change in general even if they're not going through any changes. But either way dying your hair a stunning color can make you remember that change can be a good thing.

So no matter if you're going to dye your hair yourself or have it done professionally, just take the dive. It's not permanent and can be a lot of fun! Just go for it!

"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.

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
