Top 7 Places To Boycott If You Are A True Christian

A much needed break from the chaos with a little bit of humor

There are so many places that do not support Christians and everything they stand for. Here is a list of a few that will help you decide what to boycott this week.

1. Starbucks

Starbucks supports the millennials and had to have sensitivity training because they don't know how to tell people no. They are, however, easy to hang out at for hours and you do not have to buy anything. They can't kick you out. They also make a good overpriced latte, but they are running low on the sugar-free options. It makes me wonder how they can ever compete with Dutch Bros, who is slowly taking over the West Coast.

2. Disney

Disney owns half the world, and a number of news networks, including the View on ABC. The very show who has had people on it who promised they would move out of the country if Trump became President and have yet to do so. The problem is Disney probably has the best amusement park in the known world, and let's not forget, churros.

3. Nike

The shoes are not the issue, it is who they choose to endorse the shoes. A black athlete who was raised by a white family, and has now made half of the US lose respect for him. Let us all light our shoes on fire. I am just wondering if Nike will reimburse me after I burn the shoes, because I still need shoes.

4. Restaurants

All of them except Chick-Fil-A fall into this category. They serve alcohol, and alcohol is not allowed. The fast food restaurants, those are by no means nutritious and the body is God's temple. This does mean making food at home every night. It should be easy enough, except see #5.

5. Grocery Stores

There is alcohol at grocery stores. They sell anything and everything and at some point they have probably supported a company that believes in stem cells. They also sell cigarettes which is not even a thing in the Bible. You may be able to get away with the wine, but there is too much evil in a grocery store to shop there.

6. Walmart

This one has a bit of everything, so it is much more than a grocery store. Their prices are so low, they probably have child labor somewhere overseas. If you have ever seen "The People of Walmart" you know that you enter at your own risk. Unless of course, you need to get some clothes for $3, love that clearance rack!

7. Facebook

You probably saw the link to this story on Facebook, maybe. Their algorithms are liberal. They hide all the news that Christians are really interested in. The other option is that you tend to click on inflammatory articles more than Christian ones, but that isn't possible so it must be Facebook's fault.

If you have gotten to this point, you may have realized that I boycott none of these places. I may not agree with every company out there, but if I boycott them all, I will end up living on a sheep farm in the mountains with no cell phone. The more attention given to companies, good or bad, is still attention. A true Christian follows their heart, not the crowd. As for me, I will be at Disneyland, sipping my Starbucks latte, wearing my Nikes.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

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…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, 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."

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
