3.The Big Chop

With Season Four came a more established, super hot Topanga. She and Cory are in a great place; she’s really starting to figure out who she is–signified by the sudden absence of her favorite accessory, the choker necklace. And then it happens. To prove the point that looks mean nothing and true beauty comes from within yada yada yada, she lops off a huge chunk of her hair on live television. (Well not live television. In Boy Meets World land–things weren’t that meta).

We all cried a little that day–it was pretty emotional!–but we learned a very valuable lesson: Never cut your own hair in the halls of your high school. For as much as you’d like to be, you are not and never will be Topanga–and you will be ridiculed by your idiot peers.
