8 Things You Grow Tired Of Hearing When Growing Out Your Hair

I'm in the process of growing out my hair. Lucky for me, so is my roommate.

Right now, my hair is in the awkward "frat boy" stage. The awkward stage doesn't last very long in the grand scheme of things, but it can feel like forever. Beyond that, every stage between your initial pixie cut and your goal length can feel like an awkward stage.

Here are some of the most common things I've heard since I decided to grow my hair out.

"Are you growing your hair out?"

Nope, I love this length. "Frat boy" is the aesthetic I've been aiming for!

*hair grows a little* "Wow, your hair has gotten so long!"

Has it? Has it, really?

"At least you're pretty!"

That doesn't make me any happier about this mop, but thanks. I guess.

"Why don't you just cut it?"

I don't look like this by choice, but no. I'm not gonna cut it.

"Short hair must be so much easier to style!"

Yeah! If you think that pomade, straightening, hairspray, and only being able to shower in the morning is "easy".

"Your eyebrows look really good!"

They're front and center, so believe me–I know they look good. They better.

"I like your hair better long."

Good thing I'm growing it out, then.

"You look like a lesbian now."

Hair length is synonymous with sexual orientation, so... Yeah. I get that.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
