Maybe with a more reckless lifestyle, but certainly not for mine.

Being the millennial that I am, college is changing me as a person. As I go through this path of self-discovery, as well as being in art school, there are many fades and ideas that are suddenly so exciting and enticing to me now that I had little interest in before, and not all of them are great for the future I would like to have.

However, if there was a way to try the fades and go on the adventures and not have to live with the consequences as an adult, I would be all for it. Here are eleven things I would do or get, if I were able to undo them later.

1. Get my belly button pierced

After months and months of debating whether or not to get the piercing, I am glad I decided against it. With fear of "rejection", the potential effect of the piercing in which the piercing moves and forces itself out of your body, as well as expansion when I eventually become a mother. Today I am still confident in my decision. But if I had the chance to have the piercing for a few years and then disappear when I'm older and ready for children, I would jump at the opportunity in a heartbeat.

2. Expensive road trip

Although I desperately want to go on road trips and see the world, a broke college student like myself does not exactly have the money to simply get up and go. If able to undo my decision and get my money back, I would easily spend a week or so with some good friends, great nights and unfamiliar places.

3. Sephora haul

If I were able to eventually undo the financial burden involved with a massive Sephora shopping spree, I would already be there.


4. A tattoo on my wrist

Trust me, I am all for a deep and meaningful tattoo. I believe they are genuine and beautiful. However, I've never quite been open to the idea myself, especially not in a very visible place. But if it could disappear after a few years, you would definitely see a few on me already.


5. Get a daith piercing

I don't know what it is about Pinterest-looking earring styles, but I am very aesthetically pleased by them. Unfortunately, I cannot picture myself as a thirty-year-old woman with this type of piercing, perhaps it is merely a millennial phase.


6. Buy expensive filming / musical equipment

I have been interested in starting a Youtube channel for well over a year. It is no secret how expensive good equipment for making videos is.


7. Drop out and pursue an unrealistic dream


Every college student has probably said "I'm going to drop" at least once or twice. But what if you actually did. And followed a very competitive field such as the music or film industry by traveling to somewhere such as Hollywood with a few bucks in your pocket. It would be fun to go try it if I was able to undo it if nothing happened from it. But with only one try, I'll take my degree.


8. Eat whatever I want


A world where you could eat whatever you wanted and never have to worry about a diet of any type sounds like a dream come true to me.


9. Get constellation piercing

A constellation piercing is a set of piercings that are designed to appear like an arrangement of stars. They can be entirely unique to you, your style and your ear shape. The idea of getting my ears pierced specifically to me


10. Play bingo tattoo

There is a game that I stumbled on while on the Internet called Tattoo Bingo. This involves a simple Bingo machine, but instead of balls with numbers, you have tattoo images. There might be a second for placement or maybe it is up to whoever is getting the tattoo. While the idea is fun and spontaneous, I would not want a meaningful one forever.


11. Get a tragus piercing

Similar to my explanation of not wanting to get a daith piercing, I am more afraid that getting this one would be more painful. I have a tendency tops that part of my ear down when I cannot ear right etc. Therefore, pushing down into my ear with a sharp end doesn't sound ideal.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
