When being the crazy girlfriend goes too far

Stop Being the Crazy Girlfriend

In today's society being the crazy girlfriend or the crazy ex is glamorized. Girls take pride in going to the extreme to make sure that her man is hers and only hers. On social media, we constantly see memes and post about girls being overly possessive over their boyfriends. We're always reading about that ex who was too hurt over her boyfriend. Social media brain washes us into thinking that being the "crazy girlfriend" is cute, but it is not cute at all. Girls are taking it way too far.

Last Tuesday, Kendra Childs a 19 year old mother was shot and killed in her apartment. Although Houston police claim that they don't know who did it, Twitter users all over the nation have a pretty good guess. Twitter users suspect that Childs was killed by her boyfriends ex-girlfriend, who goes by the name @linglingbaby on twitter. She can be seen on twitter taking pictures in front of a black Camaro, the same car the that the suspect of the shooting is said to be seen in. Also if you scroll through her twitter account you will see death threats made towards Childs.

When did society get to a point where someone thinks its acceptable to kill another woman, because her ex boyfriend no longer wants her. How long will we keep thinking that being crazy is cute and desirable. Women are constantly losing their minds over guys that don't think twice about them. Society has brainwashed us into thinking that no matter what we have we will never be fully successful unless we have a man by our side, because no one wants to be lonely. Social media is always telling guys that if a woman isn't crazy for him then she doesn't love him. Well what happens when she goes a little too crazy?

Society as a whole needs to stop allowing women to think that it's okay to put men on such a high pedestal, that they will do absolutely anything for them. Women nowadays are so head over heels for guys that they lose sight of who they really are. They only focus on keeping their man because they don't want to feel lonely. Being the crazy girl is all fun and games until someone gets seriously hurt. Women need to grow up, get over any hurt that they're still holding onto from a past relationship, and focus on being the best version of themselves that they can be.

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.
