10 Comments You Get When You Have a pixie cut

Personal photo

Although I'm in the process of (slowly) growing out my hair into an awkward bob, I suffered through the pixie cut trend for four long years. I cut my hair my freshman year of high school after months of begging and begging my grandmother for even a simple trim. I, at first, wanted a bob about three inches above my shoulders, but after looking around Google and Pinterest for inspiration on "short hair", I stumbled upon the cliche Tumblr-esque pixie cuts. Of course I immediately fell in love. But as everyone with a pixie cut can tell you, there are MANY cons to getting this hairstyle.

1. "I liked your long hair better!"

Giphy

You always receive this comment from your acquaintances who think they need to just help you out a little.

2. "I just believe women should have long hair."

Giphy

It usually comes from older men who have given you their unsolicited thoughts on your hair.

3. "You're lucky! It's so much less work to style!"

Giphy

My cabinet full of mousses, hair sprays, hair gels, and my four different hair brushes say otherwise.

4. "Is she a lesbian?"

Giphy

Usually only whispered just above earshot. When it's said to you, they're assuming it, not asking. Not that I'm not gay, but maybe don't assume from the hair.

5. "You're sacrificing a lot for a trend, don't you think?"

Giphy

Not a trend, I just have personal opinions.

6. "Do you need to speak to the manager?"

Giphy

It's just a haircut. Also, I have too much anxiety to confront someone of authority about anything.

7."When are you going to grow your hair out?"

Giphy

Maybe never. Who knows?

8."You cut your hair AGAIN?"

Giphy

Everyone has to cut their hair eventually, even if it's just a trim.

9. "Sorry, I just like girls that have something to hold on to."

Giphy

Stop sexualizing hair!!!!!!

10. "Are you a boy or a girl?"

Giphy

Not that it matters to you, but my D-cups would probably answer your question.

As negative as I make short hair seem, cutting all my hair off was the best and most freeing decision I ever made and I wouldn't discourage anyone else from trying it. Even though you'll go through a lot, it's worth being happy with yourself

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
