Why I'm Going To Shave My Head

It's time, I think.

Why I'm Going To Shave My Head
Forever Celeb

I've thought about this for a long time and after careful consideration, I think it's finally time I'm going to shave my head. No, it's not a fashion statement and I'm not trying to pull a Brittany Spears. I have really good reasoning and after reading this I think you'll understand and maybe you'll want to do it too.


Okay, so I'm not really going to shave my head. But the fact that you read this far is impressive. You were just a victim of clickbait and before I apologize, hear me out. Our generation doesn't really pay all that attention to what we are reading. It seems as though we read something we think is news and form an opinion without even reading the entire thing.

A lot of people are victims of fake news sites and they share them without reading the article. If there's one thing in journalism that we learned it's to check your sources; find their credibility and see if they believable and truthful. If you're unsure, Google. God gave us Google for a reason, to ask questions.

Our generation has such a short attention span that we only read things that stand out.
AKA bold letters and pictures. And we don't like to read articles that are too long. If it looks long and boring then we're probably not going to read it. Reading articles with smaller paragraphs makes it look shorter and therefore we are more inclined to read it.

Avoid looking stupid. If you're going to share an article on Facebook, please actually read it. Check the credibility of the source. It's better you take the time to read it than avoid looking stupid by all your Facebook or Twitter friends and followers.

Oh, and for the record, I don't think I will ever shave my head. It's taken a lifetime to grow it, I don't want to take that away. And plus, my head is to much shaped like a deformed egg.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
