Love

When you know you are absolutely perfect for someone and you over hear them saying the things they want in a girl and you fit every thing they say. 
But they don’t know you. They will never know how well you could work and so you sit there and watch them fall in love and fall apart over and over again knowing that you are they only one who can fit.
Or once you get to know that person and you know in your heart that you two could last forever but they only tell you that when they're drunk. They focus too much on what they are already into and won't see other possibilities because they can't hurt someone. 
Love is such a horrible and lovely thing. 
One day I'll find my true love who sees me just how I see them.
One day.

Books

My 3rd grade teacher once told me to read the books that are the the most damaged on the outside because you can tell by the damage its been read by a lot of people, and there’s usually a great story on the inside. 
This advice hasn't failed me yet.
Especially when researching. I definitely enjoy picking up the oldest book on the subject, it may be out of date but when comparing an old and new, it brings smiles to my face.
When picking up the oldest book on Theodore Roosevelt in the University's library, I glanced at the last time it was checked out. The poor guy hasn't been checked out in over 30 years, he's been forgotten.
It's interesting because when I see this happen, I get the urge to check the book out, whether I want to read it or not, I just don't like seeing them be forgotten.
Books are definitely people, we all need some lovin' every once in a while. 

College

College has definitely been filled with some interesting things. Sometimes it's hard to find the balance between school, my sorority and my social life. I've learned the hard way of balancing, from going to class so hungover that I might has well be still drunk to deciding not to even go to class. But from last semester, I've learned what to prioritize and what to forget. I feel pretty proud of myself as I figured things out. I no longer go out on the week days and keep the drinking on the weekends to a minimum. Staying in, it's my new way of living.

Life

Learning from my mistakes has definitely been a thing I've been doing lately. My first quarter was interesting, since I was on the struggle bus with figuring out the life triangle. Some of my mistakes have been catching up to me, while others I can simply ignore. I'm the type of person that usually doesn't let things bother me, but when I hurt people on accident, I struggle. I try to  do everything I can to fix things but sometimes you just can't. Sometimes you have to learn from it and move on, it may be hard and unfortunately that person may never forgive you, but just keep your head up, know in your heart that you're sorry and move on. It'll be hard but I know I can do it, I know I'm sorry and maybe one day I'll be able to apologize but until then, just keep my head up and be me.

Looking nice

Why does everyone always hate on people for trying to look nice? Yeah, I get it, you don’t care about what you look like and that’s fine, but don’t judge us for wanting to dress nicely. 

I’m not hating on you for having messy hair, sweatpants, and no makeup, but let me and others wear nice clothes, style our hair, and dress in a way that we like. What I wear makes me feel good about myself. if you can dress comfortably and feel great about yourself, do it. 

But don’t hate on me for wanted to dress nicely to like what I look like.

4/1

Okay so I agree with the “Bitches Get Stuff Done” sentiment in general, because it’s empowering and it’s allowing women already in positions of power to feel more secure and less anxious about appeasing ridiculous patriarchal expectations.

HOWEVER

There’s an issue I have with it that I’ve yet to see anyone address. The term “bitch” when applied to a person is defined as “a spiteful or unpleasant woman.” The problem that currently exists, that this campaign is attempting to correct, is that people who are being directed or reprimanded by women are erroneously using it to mean “an assertive woman who doesn’t allow your shit to phase her.” By allowing and even condoning this definition, it’s relieving the people who use it of wrong-doing instead of pulling them up on their crap, while simultaneously encouraging those to whom it is applied to be spiteful and unpleasant.

This leads to workplaces in which a bunch of immature manchildren are hating on their female boss, a female boss is liberated from the expectation of cordiality, and a remainder of actually mature coworkers are caught in the crossfire, and none of this is a healthy environment for any of these people to be working in.

It does go beyond the cubicle farms. The same problem occurs in literally every scenario in which “bitch” is applied to someone. The only way to fix the issue is to condemn the word and those who use it.

Famous People

This notion that conventionally attractive people, that people who are thin and beautiful by society’s standards, that FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY IN THE PUBLIC EYE, aren’t subject to the very standards of beauty they’re measured by, makes no sense to me. The idea that a person in possession of conventional beauty is not allowed to have low self-esteem when they’re inundated by the same images and words we all are at all times. That these people can’t make jokes or react with their gut because it “influences young girls” is outrageous. Influences young girls to what? Defend themselves if someone’s making fun of them? Be angry about the way their bodies are talked about? Who knows. If Liam is your young girl’s role model, then I don’t know. It’s a flimsy pillar to have if it can be knocked down by things like this. The news cuts off the heads of fat people walking down the street and shows the footage of it at dinnertime. The news is everywhere every day.
