1. Dye Your Hair
I'm about to graduate too, so over winter break my hair lost its virginity. In other words, I dyed my hair for the first time! Seeing everyone's reaction is so much fun, when they realize I am suddenly blonde! Dye your hair an exciting new color this semester; you're sure to shock your friends! Plus, it's a great change to make right before you graduate high school, because entering the adult world you'll feel like a brand new person!

Graduating high school is a huge milestone, and it can be a great opportunity to make a big change in your life. One of the most drastic and exciting changes you can make is to dye your hair. Whether you opt for a subtle change in color or a more drastic transformation, dying your hair is a great way to express yourself and stand out from the crowd.
Dying your hair can be a fun and liberating experience. It can give you a newfound confidence and make you feel like a brand new person. It's also a great way to shock your friends and make a statement that you are ready to move on to the next chapter of your life.
When it comes to dying your hair, there are a few things to consider. First, it is important to choose a color that will suit your skin tone. You should also keep in mind that some colors may require more maintenance than others. For example, if you choose a light color, you may need to touch up your roots more often.
2. Cut Your Hair
Coco Chanel said that "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." And that is absolutely true! A dramatic haircut can make you feel like a new person; all that excess weight that was just holding you back is gone, and now you can conquer the world! So what are you waiting for? Make an appointment at the nearest salon and get ready to reinvent yourself!

3. Get a Piercing
Granted, this is someone with six piercings writing this, but I believe that piercings are an adorable, adventurous way to shake up your appearance! Piercings are only as noticeable as you want them to be, but instantly change your identity, both in the eyes of others and yourself! Piercings are a great conversation starter, so if you're 18 or if your parents approve, get a new piercing before you graduate!

Piercings can be a great way to express yourself and stand out from the crowd before you graduate high school. Not only are they a great conversation starter, but they can also instantly change your identity in the eyes of others. There are many different types of piercings available, and the type of piercing you choose will depend on your personal preference and the placement you desire.
If you’re considering getting a piercing, it’s important to research the piercing procedure and the aftercare instructions for the piercing you’re interested in. It’s also important to make sure you go to a reputable piercing studio that has a good reputation and is properly licensed.
When it comes to choosing the type of piercing, it’s important to consider the placement and the size of the piercing. Some piercings, such as ear piercings, are more common and less noticeable than others, such as facial piercings. It’s also important to consider the healing process of the piercing and the amount of aftercare required.
4. Get a Visible Tattoo
Also if you're 18, a tattoo is a fun way to change your appearance! Make sure you get something meaningful that you won't regret; please don't tattoo your crush's name! Also, if you want to make a truly drastic change, make sure it's visible. You want something you can show off to your friends without taking off any clothing, but also something small and easily concealable just in case a future employer bans tattoos.

5. Update Your Wardrobe
Who doesn't love an excuse to shop? During senior year, your philosophy should be "out with the old, in with the new!" Donate your old, underclassmen clothes, and update your wardrobe! Try to shop at second hand stores as much as possible to save money and get unique styles! With an updated wardrobe, you'll practically become a whole new woman!
6. Try a New Makeup Style
Another way to revamp your look is a bit less costly, but equally as noticeable. We tend to fall into a pattern when it comes to beauty and makeup routines, so why not shake it up? Start wearing eyeliner, or stop wearing eyeliner! Change your lipstick color to something a bit more lively, wear more face makeup, or get colored contacts. A bunch of little changes accumulate to one big, transformative change that's perfect for graduating seniors! By the time you don your cap and gown, you'll be a completely different person.
7. Wear Heels
I don't know about you, but I derive my power and confidence from my high heeled shoes! Of course, not really, but high heels do cause me to walk with a little bit more grace and a lot more swagger! If you need a change to your physical appearance that you want your friends and family to notice, start wearing heels on a regular basis.
So, my fellow Class of 2015ers, what do you think? Are you going to make any of these changes, or do you have others in mind? Let me know in the comments!
Comments
Cheryl: Not tattoos i have a few but they are forever.... And careful with your piercings once you get older you see people who obviously got their face or nose pierced and they have that big nasty hols stuck on their fave for life!
Cheryl: Maybe a tongue but it looks gross seeing moms with holes in their face because their over the piercing and those hols don't always close up
bonbon: I disagree with tats. They dont make a person beautiful, they only make them ugly. If you want to have something meaningful engrave it on a necklace, ring, or a bracelet. Don't ruin you skin. Additionally, tats add cheapness to a person.
Hannah: In some states you can get a tattoo at 15 with parent consent
Taylor: My parents would probably murder me if I got piercing or a tattoo. Even if I was over 18!
Ponyo2012: It's funny that you posted this because I DEFINITELY NEED to redo my lifestyle! (I have clothes in my closet I still wear from when I was in the 6th grade!) and I'm getting a tattoo with my mom for my 18th birthday! 😄 dying my hair, too. Haha. Thanks for this! It made me realize that my ideas for moving off to college weren't so out of the ordinary! ☺️
Mary: It still feels strange that we're graduating sometimes, but love the post.
Lara: I would recommend taking tats off this list. I am all for them and am an artist myself but for young women I highly recommend waiting, my rule is until your 25, then your at an age where you know yourself and your style instead of ending up with some silly paw prints on your ankle. Also tattoos are not a fashion statement or something you can change, they're art works that express who you are truly and should be earned as well as being pretty emotional, you'll want to be a woman standing firmly on her own 2 feet before you get inked. Have some fun with henna designs and temporary tats first.
soffyia: WOOO class of 2015!
