Dear Anti-Vaccine Supporters,

The anti-vaccine movement is no longer a joke. You seriously believe the false propaganda and fake news put out on the internet and blindly believe that vaccines harm people without common sense. Forgetting all the science behind vaccines for a second, do you really think that millions of sensible people would put their lives at risk getting vaccinated if vaccines were so dangerous?

Your hours of Googling and looking through false information that have no backing from official organizations in no way allow you to make a proper decision about the effects of vaccines. Those hours do not compare to the years of training that those in the medical profession undergo and the years of research proving vaccines as safe and effective.

Millions of dollars and decades of work were put into developing something that would save us from diseases like measles and smallpox, only for people to die today because entitled parents like you are too locked into your essential oils logic to protect your children. Now, measles is making a comeback with a nationwide outbreak occurring currently.

Guess what kind of people are getting the measles? That's right, unvaccinated people, including children. But it's not just unvaccinated people that are at risk. It's the immune-compromised population as well, the people who physically cannot get vaccinations to protect themselves or those whose immune systems are too weak to fight disease. An entitled choice from a person like you puts others at risk and that is a selfish and illiterate decision.

Teenagers aren't sneaking out of the house anymore to go party with their friends or smoke or drink. They are sneaking out to get vaccinated without their parents knowing their plans. The fact that it has come to this kind of action for kids to have to get vaccinated without parental knowledge is despicable.

I will just leave that there.

To all anti-vaxxers out there, get some sense in your head and vaccinate your children.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
