Of course they can! Some colleges require you to live on campus your first year(especially if you just graduated high school) but others give you an option. Where are you located?

Keep them! As long as you can put them up out of your face, they shouldn't discriminate on you. I am applying to nursing school next month and I dare them to tell me to cut my locks! Good luck!

Dread Maintenance
I wash mine pretty much every day too.. I have to wear a hat at work and my head has never been fond of the damn things. I would suggest that if you wash every day, to wring them out and gently pat them dry with a towel or chill in the sun for a bit.. :D

@Heather, I only use it every once in a while.. Not too much.. Have you tried adding baking soda to it? It makes my hair feel squeaky clean..
sorry about your scalp though..

Dread Products
I use "Planet" brand dish soap (it doesn't have a scent so you can add whatever herbs or essential oils to it for smell) and then I add a liberal amount of whatever I want it to smell like, shake it up.. Then I add about a tea spoon of baking soda and shake it again to mix it well. I use mine like maybe once or twice a week for the deep clean that the shampoo that I use regularly can't handle.. It works for me and my boyfriend constantly has his nose buried in my dreads because he loves the way they smell. Right now I have a patchouli shampoo mix on my dread care menu. Love it. :D

Wow, you had acid reflux that bad? I'm sorry to hear that. And as far as being vegetarian goes for me, I feel so much better and I don't feel like poo anymore.. I only miss a few things that are meat related but those cravings stop almost as soon as they start. I'm happy for you that you are Vegan and your husband is still a meat eater.. Mad props because I'm sure it is hard to do.. I do think however, that most of the digestion issues I have stem from all the garbage that is in meat and processed foods. Its disgusting really. Thank you for your advise and insight, it is always greatly appreciated

When I first went vegetarian I was way back in 93'. I was living with my sister and she decided to go vegan. So I was interested and saw all of the fun vegan foods at health food stores and the hundreds of vegetarian recipe books out there is so awesome. I kept it up until I got married in 1999. My husband isn't vegetarian. I was cooking all of our meals when one day I got really sick and decided to try going back to eating veggie. I had to cut out all dairy,eggs,wheat,oats.Then I started working at Whole Foods Market and became a raw vegan. These days I eat primarily fruit,some greens, and some rice or quinoa I suffer from acid reflux,and have scar tissue in my throat from having such a severe case of heart burn that my whole body one night felt like it was on fire. So since going vegan I have healed myself in so many ways. I use have very painful burning sensitive skin and now I don't my skin is much smoother. My digestion is much more effecient. And I no longer eat out of boredom like back in the day. Not to mention all of the animals that are still free because of me.
I think you just have to listen to your heart,soul,and your body to know whether you want to commit to it for life.

Well for me, I have a few issues with certain processed foods or foods with milk in them.. And I cannot express how many times a week I would get sick from eating different foods.. It was starting to get out of hand.. Then this month when I took the meat out of the picture and added more veggies and water, all the sudden I felt worlds better.. No more stomach aches, less bloating etc etc.. I really like how I feel now.. Good luck to you being a vegetarian, it is quite interesting..

I decided to (temporarily) become vegetarian today, so I get what you're saying. I mean, if I feel better after giving up meat then I'll probably do it permanently, but I truly doubt I'll ever stop loving meat. My reason behind it though, is that if I force myself to eat nothing but vegetables (which I hate lol) then I'll eventually like them because I'll get used to them, so I'll be healthier. Somehow I do kind of feel like my dreads have influenced the decision, cos I've never in my entire life even considered it before that. It's cool that it's going well for you though

Yeah? I wonder why.. My family and friends have been pretty supportive so far but there are a few who always feel like they have to crack wise about everything.. I have been asked a couple times if I'm going to keep it up when the month is over any I feel like its something that I would like to try..

Yeah and that's how I fell most days. My mom and dad have been incredibly supportive of it too (I guess its because I am their "special child") I'm the one who has been the most different at everything
I really like being a veggie to tell you the truth. I am missing meat less and less as the month goes by. I really think that I may stick with it for a while.
I have a few issues with my digestion as it is and I have noticed that since having no meat in my diet this month I haven't had any stomach aches or anything.. I really feel much better these days
