Having Sex Is Okay, And So Is Having An Abortion

Being pro-choice is neither pro-life nor pro-abortion.

One thing that will never cease to annoy me, is people thinking they are better than others because they don't have sex. If you don't have sex, that's cool! If you do have sex, that's cool too! Why are we bashing others for choices that have nothing to do with us? Life in college is like gossip town. Everyone hears everything. I believe we need to stop shaming people having sex or girls that get abortions.

The worst part in all of this is that it is majority of women who get shamed. Most men get to walk freely, praised even, for having sex. People see it as a "boys will be boys" mentality. Why should they get to walk around with no backlash, while women are constantly being shamed for doing the same thing they did??

Let's get one thing in our minds, IT IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS! If they want to have sex, let them be! Most of the time it just makes you look bitter if you're not having sex.

Also, abortion is okay! For whatever reason, if a women wants to have an abortion, she should be able to. Dictating other people's lives is not okay. It is okay if you are for or against abortion, but never try to pressure a women into doing something they might not want to do.

Raising a child is hard. People will try to say, "You shouldn't have had sex in the first place", or "Just give it up for adoption". However, these are the same people unwilling to go and adopt a child already in foster care or an orphanage. And people make mistakes. Maybe they didn't mean to get pregnant. Maybe they were abused and got pregnant as a result of that abuse. Maybe they just realized that their life is unstable and they can't afford to have a child. Whatever the case may be, if they want an abortion they should have one.

What is the point of bringing a child into this world if you KNOW that you can't provide for them? There are MILLIONS of children in the foster system and in orphanages all around the world. Some of them have it so bad, they wish that they had never been born. Why leave them to suffer this fate?

For whatever reason the women might have gotten pregnant, her body is her choice. 100% HER CHOICE!

If we let everyone tell women what to do with their bodies, it's like we are turning back time and regressing instead of progressing.

So how about this for an answer; Just mind your own damn business. The day someone asks for your opinion on THEIR body choices, then you make express your honest opinion. Until then, stop trying to shove your opinions down someone else's throat. Sooner or later, someone will get angry enough and won't want to tolerate that kind of backlash from a complete stranger.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
