What is wrong with you?

Dear Hayley Geftman-Gold,

What in the world is wrong with you?

I get it you are allowed to have your own ideas and you are free to express them. Why on earth would you openly post something like this on social media?

Do you have any compassion and empathy? A post like this seems to prove otherwise. You cannot assume that everyone who listens to Country music is the type of person you are describing. It is like saying all people who listen to rap music are gangsters and into drugs and drinking. This is a stereotype you are saying is the end all be all.

How does it feel to have lost your job over this? You were a woman in power and at a great place to be at, and you threw it all away by not making smart decisions about what you post online. Especially since you said that there should be no sympathy for the 59 people that died and the 500+ injured. That is just sick!

The thing is though I am not going to say I wish you were in some situation that caused you harm. I am not like you I just wish that someday you will understand how to be a human. I want you to show compassion and care about others.

I pray that someday you wake up and realize that no matter what someone's belief is when an innocent person dies it is a tragedy. I hope that you didn't only apologize because you were sorry you got caught and lost your job or that someone told you to apologize. I hope one day you will one day see that if one innocent person dies it is a tragedy, more than one person died.

I hope you have done some thinking about all this and next time if you think something, that doesn't always mean you post it online.


Sincerely,

Someone who cares

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
