To Chop, Or Not To Chop...

Ladies, ever want to try something different with your hair? Every girl has gone through it: the desire to change up their look. What better way to make a statement than to cut it all off? Of course, it sounds scary, overwhelming, or whatever you may call it, but "the big chop" could be the start of an amazing adventure!

Most women hesitate to cut their hair because they're afraid they won't like it. Make sure you find a cut/style that compliments your head! Not everything you see on Instagram or on your television is the perfect style for you. For an example, usually, a shaved head compliments women with narrower heads. Hairstyles take a lot of experimenting, and courage at that. No one likes walking around feeling like they have to keep a head wrap or hat on! (Trust me, that was me a few weeks ago).

I've learned that when you get a big haircut, even if you don't like it at first after it gets that "old" look, your feelings might change. I will never forget my first time hating a cut. I cried and cried, but after a week or so when my hair started growing out, I began to love it. Now, I couldn't see myself going back to a longer hairstyle!

If you're too afraid to do it all at once, cut with increments of an inch, or shave the back. Short hair does come with a bunch of commitment, but once you find the cut for you, you'll be invincible.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
