The Power Of The Hair Flip
Emi Peterson

Women are majestic creatures. We are also complex creatures, but so are men, if we’re being honest. Our actions are often why we are perceived as complex, because not everyone knows how to take them. Again, if we’re being honest, that’s their problem, not ours. To shed light on one action and try to help people understand, I’m going to help you decode hair flips. There are good ones, there are bad ones, there are sassy ones, and all the ones in between. They are a powerful weapon in a woman’s arsenal of majestic-ness. Hair flips can mean many different things and be deciphered in many different ways. They range from light and cute, to classy and sassy, or just plain ratchet. However, you have to know what you’re working with, so the key is to make sure you are using and reading them correctly. So, to know what you're dealing with, here is your guide to using and decoding hair flips successfully. Below are what I believe to be the 12 main types of hair flips. Use them wisely.

1. Cute

The light, happy-go-lucky, go-to hair flip for casually thing to be cute.

2. Classy

When no one is on your level. Werk, it girl.

3. I'm Feeling Myself

I know I look good.

4. Fun

Did someone say party?

5. Sassy

I do what I want.


6. Flirty

Take a hint already.

7. You're in Big Trouble


Did you really just do that?

8. Fierce

I am a majestic unicorn of fierceness and no one can touch me.

9. Serious

It's about to get real.

10. Show No Weakness

My turf, my rules.

11. I'm Trying to Keep it Together


I almost cried, but don't worry I flipped away the tears.

12. You're Wasting My Time

Like, can you move on already?

13. I Don't Give a Finna

Speaks for itself. Personal fav.

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.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
