Oh, you have dark skin? Let's create slavery and hurt humans for others own pleasure. Blonde? You must be dumb. Girl? Why aren't you in the kitchen? Mexican? Get on the other side of the wall. Have a disorder? Gay? That's not ok.

Well... guess what? Most of the population whether it's that they have a different skin tone or as simple as their gender, are all uniquely different. The fact of the matter is, most of the population is DIFFERENT! We are humans and one of the things that make us so amazing are the many varieties and unique traits we have. It is a blessing, not something that people should be using as a tactic to gain power, make fun of people, and push others down. The human race is all different so how can you make fun of differences? It really makes no sense to me how someone is that evil, let alone absent-minded, selfish, and power needy, that they need to push others down for them to feel more superior! In the end, not only do these actions not help or improve oneself but can lead to one's own demise and a very negative lifestyle. This has become a pattern that humans keep on repeating, causing us to trip on our own feet and cause our race to break apart and fight one another instead of progressing forward as a whole. This act can cause a group of people to live a life full of judgment and suffering.

Even I feel a daily pressure and norm that society has placed on girls; the acceptable and not acceptable barriers that condemn me.

When did kindergarten rules like, "Treat others the way you want to be treated" become ignored? I've realized that this basic rule you are taught when you're a child isn't followed by many adults. It's easy to put yourself in someone else's shoes and wonder, what would it be like? For any progress or positive move for the human race to occur, people need to stop pushing others down and ignoring the fact of the matter. Instead of being glad you are not in that other person's shoes, why not help them, and empower people? This is a basic rule that two-year-olds can follow, so why the hell can't adults?!

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.
