Stop trying to control my razor.

On my way to work one morning, I was listening to 93.7 the Hawk & Tom Show. Apparently, only three out of four women shave their armpits and it's, according to Hawk and Tom, "disgusting." You want to know something really "disgusting?" Men who still think like you. #sorrynotsorry.

We live in a world of judgment; either you're too fat, skinny, ugly, or weird. So why is it that Hawk & Tom think it's okay to publically judge a women's (and call it disgusting) choice all because it's not their type? And BROADCAST IT ON THE RADIO?! They even went as far to say that people who like hairy armpits on a girl are "weird" and "not the kind of person you'd want to marry." Really guys? I guess if you have hairy armpits you'll never find love, so I'd move to a European country now if I were you.

I love the radio and radio hosts.

I love that they can connect with their audience on a personal level. However, when that host is being shallow or downright mean I lose a lot of respect for them. Just relay the information, say your opinion on the matter, and drop it. We don't need to know that if you were put into a room with two girls and one of them had hairy armpits, you'd chose the other girl.

Hair is natural, it's NOT disgusting.

Women who don't shave aren't doing that to find a man. In fact, quite the opposite. They do it to feel empowered and if they're comfortable with the way they look then why would anyone else's opinion matter? But it's not that much better on the male body. Do you think we like cuddling at night and getting your armpit hair in our face? No, it feels like we're suffocating but we don't say anything because you don't want to shave. Would we like you to? GOD YES!

For two people who reach out to around 3,500 people, they sure are closed-minded. If you can reach that many people shouldn't you be spreading awareness of other people and acceptance of those different from us? Not tearing other people apart, especially women.

But shout out to Hedi Aiken for defending women with that "5 o'clock shadow."

It really baffles me to think that people are disgusted by the hair on a women's armpits. Hair that is there for a reason, which is why we continue to grow it. Just because it's not your type doesn't mean that those women aren't still beautiful. Having hair under your armpits does NOT make you unlovable.

I shave, but for reasons of my own. However, I don't look at people who don't shave any differently than the women who do. I just hope that whoever was listening didn't throw their beliefs and choices to the side because of what Hawk & Tom had to say about hairy armpits.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
