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?!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
