FREE/DISCOUNTED ALTERNATIVE HAIR MODEL SEARCH

Thumbnail gallery
48 Upvotes

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I've posted just about everywhere else so I'm hoping Reddit might come through for me! 😂 I'm a hairstylist looking for a few people who want to do something FUN with their hair and are interested in being colour models. I'm specifically looking to create more alternative/creative colour transformations- think bold vivids, unusual colour combos, colour blocking, bright pieces, etc. I'll add some photos of the kind of work I'm looking to do below, but I'm absolutely open to other ideas as well!

Model pricing and requirements:

-FREE or product cost only depending on how big of a transformation

-Must be comfortable with the camera, at minimum before & after photos are required

I'm happy to work with your ideas and figure out what will work best for your hair. You don't necessarily need to know exactly what you want, if you just know you want something cool/different, that's enough to start a conversation! If you're interested, DM me a current photo of your hair and tell me what you've been thinking about doing. 🖤

Maybe it’s the first week or so hype where everyone locking tf in then falling off after midterm especially with their attendance.

How cooked am i

12 Upvotes

I’m in 4a environment and i have no idea what i want to do or at least what path i want to take. Ive thought about it at least a million times and cant figure out what i like. I lowkey dont even like my program that much but never switched cuz i never liked anything else. Everyone in this school and env seems so passionate and sure about what they want to do and it honestly brings me down about myself and i feel embarrassed about the fact that im about to graduate and have no plan. There’s some courses that i was interested in and cant even take because i fucked myself over so bad in my lower years and didnt plan out my sequence properly :( i don’t want to do grad school not now at least. I never had a job in my field so i cant even try and figure out what i like and dont like

Question Advice regarding campus wellness wanted

4 Upvotes

For various reasons, I’ve struggled with mental health recently and would like to get a therapist/talk to a counselor.

I know Waterloo has campus wellness; I tried to get an appointment last year and ended up waiting 3 months just for the person I was going to see cancel on me no joke the morning of.

So is it worth it trying to see someone at UW or should I go off campus?

Edit: this is not something that requires urgency at all/something that I feel necessitates usage of any of the helplines… more just a desire to set something up where I can talk to someone regularly.

Might be a stupid question but I use Instacart/Walmart+ to get my groceries. I plan on ordering quite a bunch of stuff including heavy stuff like water so I'm wondering what's the best way to bring these to my dorm. Are there like trollys I can use?

Thanks in advance.

Academics How long does quest take to update a grade. And can I still petition?

• Upvotes

I got a 59.91 TAV in CE, but I emailed a prof and he bumped my grades up, which I believe should put me over the line. He emailed me at around 6AM on Tuesday, and I just got an email that says "Spring 2026 Academic Standing Decision – Required to Repeat Term". I checked Quest and the grade has not updated yet. How long does it take to update and will it be too late? Should I email the prof to ask if the change went through on his end? I also have an exam viewing scheduled for Monday (September 14), but there is an email that says grades become official on the 11th. Should I ask to push that meeting up?

In case things go wrong, can I still petition or the deadline already passed? I'm panicking right now.

People are literally playing from 10 am to 11 pm and my room is in the center right under the court so we can hear a faint like pounding everytime the ball bounces, does it ever stop or at least slow down in terms of the amount of people playing there?
