The Haircut Episode

Recently I have begun to start cutting on other people's hair and experiment with my own. After experimenting with my hair a lot last year and the many different designs and carvings that could be constructed from it, I started to become pretty interested in cutting hair. I usually keep a shaved head so I have my own clippers and I've just been using my clippers on others and have managed to keep this is a non-profit hobby because the haircuts I've provided have been to people within my close group of friends. There's no need or motivation for making money when you're doing something so creative and fun such as cutting hair into ridiculous designs for your good friends. It is also an way for me to express my creative side and my passion for the arts, and with cutting hair I feel like I'm providing a nice and helpful duty by offering a sharp hairdo free of charge amidst the busy and sporadic nature of college life. It's kind of like a way to calm down and relax when there's a couple guys hanging out on the balcony free of stress and worries while a haircut or two take place. The favor goes both ways as my friends will also willingly cut my hair for me and although I haven't sported a crazy hairdo in a while, I feel like I'm bound to have one of my friends give me a design before the semester ends. I really enjoy seeing my hair all carved up and intricate because it shows that I'm not afraid to express myself and it shows that I like to try new things and experiment in life. The other week I decided to let my friend randomly cut my hair into a "fade," a style I've never had before and I was willing to accept the consequences because it's not worth it to not attempt something when you're only young once. My immense trust in my friends has been established because of our haircut gatherings as well because we have all become accustomed to the fact that we can all basically rely on anyone of each other for an exceptional haircut.

More Theater and Making Important Decisions Amidst Problems

Theater is now beginning to be a lot more fun than I had expected as we are working on the play Illuminati and rehearsing our scenes and such. I actually played some pretty intense soccer for two hours before my last rehearsal and after I got there and got settled in we were going through one of our scenes. The scene was supposed to have two actors talking together with me and then me and one of the two actors suddenly disperse after the conversation.  As the two of us disperse the other actor left was supposed to attack another actor who comes on stage by flailing his arms and pretending to hit him. However, as me and one of the two actors were exiting the stage, the one actor that was supposed to stay and beat up the other character ended up accidentally striking me in the mouth very hard. I bled a lot and there's a lengthy deep wound on my lip that I can basically always feel but it did make for a good story. I mean it is pretty ironic to play some intense soccer for two hours and not get injured and then go to a theater rehearsal and thirty minutes into the rehearsal get punched in the face. However I also felt that the incident was so minor and petty in the scheme of things that it wasn't worth letting my spirit and attitude change. I figured it would be a waste of time and illogical to let this cut ruin my night as an actor and possibly the days following the incident. I figured I also might as well look on the bright side because I could've been seriously injured from that. I just try to apply this principle to my life as much as I can because it's so important to me to have a good attitude in life and not let things that you can't control get in the way of reaching your goals or maintaining the same attitude. 

Another obstacle I just encountered was today when I had to decide what classes to register for next semester and this was very important because I'll need to declare my major by the end of that semester and should be close to deciding on a major or getting a better idea of what I'd want to major in by now. So I essentially decided my major in a roundabout way because I had to decide the classes that I want to take next year and I figured I should be taking more classes for my major. Furthermore, because I'm planning on double majoring, which would require a lot of classes, I almost have no choice but to take classes to fulfill my majors. After having a pretty serious and honest conversation with my academic advisor I felt comfortable enough to basically figure out what I will be majoring in. I made sure my choice felt right to me by pondering on the implications and possibilities that could arise from my majors.
