I usually see myself as being pretty independent. I pay for my own school, I drive myself to get all of my tasks accomplished on time, and don\u2019t typically allow other people to heavily influence my decisions. But yesterday I realized one aspect of my life where I have always really depended on my mom.<\/p>\n

Before and After (Note the change in mood)<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nI have only ever had my hair \u201cprofessionally\u201d cut a handful of times in my life. Otherwise my mom has always kindly cut my hair for me. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever really shown her due appreciation for that. (Usually I rebel against getting it cut in the first place.) Yesterday, thanks to Style America, I gained a new level of appreciation for this. I cannot stand my new haircut. (I\u2019ve included before and after photos which show that pretty well.) I\u2019ve been wearing a hat for the last 24 hours. To make things worse, I got this haircut right before taking a new banner photo taken for this page. (It should be up soon.)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s never a comfortable process, but usually you find that the new people are even better than the old. That was not the case here. I think I\u2019ll be wearing my hat for the next month or so, or at least until I can go home for damage control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
