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.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
