I Did Something Crazy This Week

It's a pretty big deal.

This past weekend I made a big decision to cut 12 inches of my hair off.

Yes, I know you're probably thinking, "What in the world are you thinking?" or "How long did it even take you to grow it out?" Well, it took me a year to grow my hair out long enough to cut. And what I was thinking was to donate it.

I have always wanted to donate it and help those who don't have hair because of cancer. It took me about two weeks to make this a serious decision. I value my hair very much and loved it being long, but it honestly got annoying whenever I moved to college this fall. It was a lot of up-keep and hassle to either keep it up all the time or to take the time to let it dry after a shower.

So when I decided to make this decision, I for sure wanted it to be for a good cause. So I decided to donate it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. They only require eight inches to donate if your hair isn't dyed and they give it to those who can't afford to buy a wig. I picked this cause because I felt the need to help those who needed it most. So my five closest friends went with me to get it cut. I was so scared that it wouldn't be long enough. But it ended up being 12 inches! A WHOLE FOOT!

Below is a picture of how long my hair was before I cut it!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
