The 11 Stages Of Growing Your Hair Out
encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Whether it's your weird middle school haircut or your "new hair, new me" college haircut, almost all of us have decided to try out the short hair style. Maybe you looked fabulous and found your new forever hairstyle. Or maybe you're like me and like the short hair but miss so many things about your long hair. The journey begins now.

1. "Short hair is fabulous."

It's super easy to fix and takes me 2.5 seconds to blow dry. Short hair is the best hair.

2. "Time to go out, gotta curl my hair."

Good gosh. This is not going to work.

3. "Okay, so I've decided to grow my hair back out. I don't like this anymore."

Ah... How naive you were in this decision. You thought it was going to be as easy as cutting off your hair. Wrong, sister, just wrong.

4. "It's so weird that it's taking this long."

But maybe it's just hard to get it started. Just keep it cool.


5. "This is ridiculous."

Okay, you're definitely not keeping it cool.

6. "So I bought Mane 'n' Tail."

The research has begun. My hairstylist and google say horse shampoo is the way to go. Horse shampoo. Really.

7. "Maybe short hair isn't that bad. I'm about to cut it back off I hate this awkwardness."

The second thoughts have begun. What have I gotten myself into?

8. "There's no going back now."

No, hold out. You've made it this far. You can do it.

9. "Wow, love your hair. Want to donate it... to me?"

You start to stalk girls on Instagram who have long luscious hair. In public, you find yourself staring at these plentiful beauties. You've got yourself a hair crush.

10. "I'd like to thank everyone who believed in me."

You made it. Everyone around you is so happy they no longer have to hear about your hair struggles.

11. "Okay, I'm tired of this. My hair's too heavy it's giving me a headache."

Back to square one.

Unlike a lot of things you can do, a haircut isn't a forever decision. The locks will grow back, thank goodness. So cut your dang hair. Rock it.

But keep in mind, it's a long journey back.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
