My hair is always boring how can i spice it up?

hi, i have dark brown hair thats a little below my shoulders and a sideswept bang. i always wear my hair down but i am getting bored with it. the problem is that i cant put it in a side pony or a side braid because its too short. also i normally like to have some in front of my shoulders. whats something i could do with it for school tomorow? im a teen in 8th grade btw.
