Chivalry

It isn't dead, it's just evolved.

pretty woman

I know alot of women who love it when men treat them with respect and like a lady. Little acts that makes them feel like they are important and remind them that not all men are imbeciles. Holding a door open is an overused example of chivalry, so is paying for the bill. Trust me guys these things are nice to do but, today guys cant even do that without it somehow offending a woman.

Nowadays women (some) like to open the door and pay their own way. I know unbelievable. But chivalry isn't dead people, he's just on life support at the local hospital. In our corrupt, demeaning, and incredibly confusing society, we want things one way but arent ready to accept that we cant always get our way. Many people say its dead because one guy didnt open the door or pull out their chair but its really alive and well. 500 or some years ago we had knights who showed strength, courage, loyalty, respectful, generous, and gave aid to the poor and defenseless. Now are Knights in shining armour, our soliders in war and regular everyday guys who put the little people before themselves.

Chivalry isnt dead ladies, its just evolved. Most don't get that and seem to think guys are suppose to do our bidding or get angry if a guy doesnt show them the attention they want. It's a two way street now ladies. We live in a world where chivalry can go both ways.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
