I am one of those women who are frequently asked when I am having children, and I do think about it a lot. What would I say if my boyfriend, Brook was into having babies? Would I want one or not? Why would I even question it? But have you seen what the world is coming to? America is turning into a total shit show including the savages living in it.

These football players who think it is okay to kneel when the National Anthem is playing. Are you kidding me? All over a race issue. You make millions of dollars a year to play football and you cannot stand, but there are Veterans who have nothing. Men and women and dogs literally go out to war and lose their lives for us and these people who do not have enough respect to stand and show their patriotism. Plus, these football players are showing little children who do not understand why thesr football players are kneeling that it is ok. If you do not appreciate what you have then get out. See what other countries would have in store for you.

Well, let me think... the National Anthem is sang for our soldiers and America, and also is meant to bring different races and cultures together. We are supposed to be brothers and sisters. We are supposed to unite together not divide. Stop disrespecting your country!

I spoke with a homeless veteran today. He had many bags and seemed a little screwy in the head, but he was so nice. Why are veterans homeless in America, but we have football players making millions who do not stand for the Anthem? Someone needs to please donate the millions of dollars that the players are making to the Veterans who live in cardboard boxes. I mean because that is what the veterans deserve after what they have all done for us, right? I am pretty certain America got that shit backwards.

In regards to the horrific shooting that happened in Vegas: I am so sorry for all of their families and friends. I could not even imagine, which brings me to the bitch, (that word is probably too nice) or Vice President of CBS. Reports are stating that she was fired for saying she felt no sympathy for the victims and their families because they were at a country concert and that must mean they are Republican. Ummmm... what!?!? The bitch deserved to be fired and thank God CBS did just that. No one deserves to die the way those people did. The people did nothing wrong and innocent lives were lost. Rest in Paradise to all who have passed.

The shooter is said to not be a terrorist, which makes me sick. Doctors reported that he had mental issues. Nahhh... you think!? Anyone who does something that horrific has issues, but my point is if that guy was black, Muslim, or whatever, he would be considered a terrorist. I am white and I am not racist. How do you get almost thirty guns into a hotel room without anyone noticing? We all know the media and government are both hiding shit from us.

Now, everyone needs settle down. I know certain people reading this piece are heated because they are hypocrites and think no one can have his or her own opinion. The article is my opinion.

Rest In Peace to all. Praying for our troops and veterans. Maybe this will all change one day.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
