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.

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. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. 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.
