Hello there, my name is Miranda Holloway, and as a junior I am a member of the 500 something most stressed out people in school. Not only am I a junior but I am a student, along with about 2100 other kids, at one of the top ten high schools in the state and while the stress at any school can get rough, everyone knows that the pressure can be intense and the workload can be high. So in the spirit of staying sane, I have started this blog to remind my fellow knights, and myself for that matter, to stop and smell the roses, take a walk in the park or watch a funny movie; essentially want everyone to take a deep breath and smile. Inspire d by the website 1000awesomethings.com, I will be posting this blog once a week until the the end to the school year, 35 times in all, about things that are meant to make you grin. Happy moments, enjoyable memories, blissful feelings; you name it, I’ll post it. So, overall, take a minute to just relax and think happy thoughts.
My hair grows like a weed. Not like one of those weeds that you can just pull out and your garden looks pretty. My frizzy hair is one of those weeds that you could dump a carton of weed killer on it and dig it up with a bulldozer and it would still come back the next day. It’s a pain.
My hair was throwing me off my groove. I could be excited about going to school in the morning but have my mood squashed by not being able to do anything with my hair.
But now my hair is cut and my world is happy. I can get up in the morning and worry about what I want for breakfast instead of what I can do with the jungle of hair attacking my head. I either straighten it or throw it up in a ponytail and move on. However, with a few locks off, I happily can say that I cannot do my signature “my hair is a mess so I’m going to put it in a pile in the top of my head and call it a bun look”, but that’s probably a good thing.
The only other downside is that my hair is now layer weird (which I know is a concern to all of you) and my bangs get puffy when I don’t straighten them. Being a generally lazy human being and don’t do that every day so now I have to teach myself to do this on bad hair days.
