Life Can Be Hairy Sometimes

Did you know that life is a lot like hair?

Thought of the day: Life is like hair…

Seriously it is.

Long & Short

Some people have long hair and some have short hair. We don’t know exactly how long our lives will be, only God knows. Some of us live to be 100 years old and others lives may not even last 10 minutes. Same goes for the fact that everyone has their own style of hair that best suits them just like everyone lives their own lifestyles. Just as they should.

Crazy

Some days are just stressful… like trying to fix your hair when it refuses to do what you want it to do. It is best to just throw on a hat (or fake smile) and go on with the day when things just aren’t going your way.

Sometimes a little hairspray goes a long way.

Pretty

I love the pretty days in life when all is nice and perfect. The best days are the great hair days for sure, just like in life when everything is going your way. Not every day starts out perfect, just like when you roll out of bed and have some major bed head going on. You make your hair look better, or you make your day go better. Your day is what you make it.

To cut or not to cut

Why is it that one of the hardest choices is to decide whether or not to let your hair grow out long or to cut it back short? Sometimes the easiest decision isn’t the right one. Waiting for something is usually way more worth it rather than doing something for temporary happiness. Just like cutting your hair sounds like the best idea in the moment, however, if you wait and let it grow long like you want then it will be worth the wait.

Hair color

No matter what color your hair is doesn’t make you a different person from the rest. If you want your hair naturally brown or if you want your hair bright pink that is your choice. Don’t let others tell you that you can’t be YOU. Express yourself the best way that you know how.

So, whatever kind of hair day we are having or what kind of life we are living, everyone is different and it is up to you on how your day turns out or how your hair looks. Sure the weather could affect our hair, but we find a way to make it work. Just like in life, don’t let others bring you down. Make your life your own!

Some of the worst mistakes in my life were haircuts"

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
