Fans Boycotting Mulan, Because Of A Tweet. (9/9)

Protesting is one thing, but when you break the law, you are going to get the consequences that go along with it.

Fans Boycotting Mulan, Because Of A Tweet. (9/9)

Disney has been making all of their classic movies into live-action films that people are loving. Fans are ecstatic that they get to see their favorite Disney films come to life. Well now that Disney has made the live-action version of Mulan, fans at first were so excited, until Mulan Star, Liu Yifei, Tweeted that she expressed support for the Hong Kong police.

So now fans are calling for a boycott of the movie because of that Tweet. There is a lot going on in China. Pro-Democracy Protest has been going on in Hong Kong for three months. Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam introduced a bill that would allow for criminal extraditions to mainland China. Lam is backed by the mainland government, and pro-democracy advocates fear the bill would allow Beijing to punish dissidents more easily and forcefully.

This is dealing with the people of China, not America, and just because she voiced her support of what is going on there, the movie is being boycotted. This is her business, not the fans. If they are not experiencing what is going on there, then it should not affect them or stop anyone from going to see the movie.

Protestors at Hong Kong"s airport clashed with police and for the past few months, protestors have been pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, and the police have used rubber bullets. But if these protestors are not following the law and are disrupting the peace and fighting with the police, then the cops are doing their job. Furthermore, they are not using anything fatal.

Now several organizations are speaking out against the Hong Kong Government and police, like the United Nations Human Rights Office, and Amnesty International. They have condemned the police because they are using force against the protestors. What else should they do, tell them, "no you can't do that, so move along?" That's not how the law works.

It's just like here in the US. People think they can get away with everything, and that when people protest and are violent, the police shouldn't get involved; and if they do, they shouldn't use force.

People who get injured in these protests, no matter where it is, do so because they are being stupid and are not following the law. You can protest without breaking the law and without violence, but I don't see society changing no matter what country you live in.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
