I Feel...

a little hippiesh yet trendy!  Why?  Well...I got feathers in my hair!  Yes, feather extensions are all the rage right now and lots of girls are getting them.  So I had to be a follower and get one like everyone else, but I am actually quite independent.
My feathers aren't too noticeable,
 but they are there and pinned to the side with my bangs.

A while back a friend from out of state had one, and I loved it.  I have been searching high and low for a hair dresser near me to put feather extensions in my hair since...and my searching did not go well.  However, things changed this last Tuesday at 5:15a.m.  I was sitting in the break room before we opened the Rec when I noticed my co-worker had a feather extension.  I couldn't help but blurt "where did you get that?"  Of course, my question would have left many wondering what I was referring to but she knew I was asking about her feather because she said "I have the girl's number, it's five dollars, she'll meet you anywhere."  So as soon as I was off work I texted "The Feather Girl" and asked about getting a feather extension.  She responded  by saying I could meet her at one by the bookstore.  I was so excited because I had spent months searching for a feather putter-inner, and just like that I was a few hours away from having my very first and own feather extension. 

So my friend went with me to meet up with The Feather Girl.  The whole deal felt a little sketchy because I didn't know who this girl was or she was capable of doing.  The whole process of putting a feather in my hair took a whole five minutes.  The whole process was done just as fast as the deal had gone down. 

I really like my feather extension.  It's fun, wild, and different, but I do feel a little hippiesh with it!  What has college done to me?  Well, it's made more confident and less afraid to express myself, which I consider to be good things.  Right?  Anyway, I am happy with my two black and white feathers and one brown and red feather, and I can't wait to try a more bold extension in the future!
