11 Reasons Why Shakespeare Was Actually WILD

  1. HE WAS A FEMINIST! Shakespeare included female characters with very feminist and progressive plot lines.
  2. He would often use sexual innuendos and it can get dirty. He was the KING of dick jokes.
  3. He was Bisexual. Many of his writings referred to multiple men and women in a romantic way.
  4. He invented the original "yo mama joke".
  5. Anne Hathaway was three months pregnant when they got married. Those shotgun weddings aren’t anything new, people.
  6. Nobody knows where he was from 1585-1592. Besides speculation, there are no records during this time of what Will was up to. Maybe he was off taking a break from the spotlight in the Caribbean!
  7. He was friends with members of the royal family.
  8. He was very wealthy and owned much land which was uncommon for artists. BAH BLANG!
  9. He lived a double life. While he was a renowned playwright in London, at his hometown of Stratford, he was a respected businessman and father. Take that Hannah Montana!
  10. Even though Catholicism was illegal during his lifetime, he was believed to be a practicing Catholic. Living outside the law!
  11. He's so cool he got a shoutout in the bible. Since he was kicking it with King James, when the King wrote his version of the bible, the 46th word of Psalm 46 is “shake” and the 46th word from the end of the psalm is “spear”. It was published on Shakespeare’s 46th birthday.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
