Here's to You, Tomi Lahren

I'm curious as to your "final thoughts" on this one, dear.

Here's to You, Tomi Lahren

Tomi Lahren, I want to ask you a question. A few questions, for that matter. You seem educated, so I’m sure you’re familiar with the main questions that we ask in the world.

Who, what, when, where, and why-––I'm curious as to your answers.

WHO decided that it was up to you to speak to the public of the world in the manner that you do? No, no, speak is the wrong word. That’s not what you do, is it? See, you’re given a microphone that’s clipped to the top of the pretty dress that you’re wearing that’s plenty close to your mouth but you still feel the need to yell. Was that your idea, Tomi? Are you able to take responsibility for your actions and how you present yourself? Who did this to you, Tomi? Or is it just you?

WHAT makes you think that your words are going to be okay? Do you speak in the moment, make it up right there on the spot or do you let your words stew around in your mind to make it seem as scary and negative as possible? What is it that makes you so angry, Tomi? Do you feel betrayed by the people that are citizens of this country? While you feel betrayed by some, they probably feel betrayed too. Some feel the need to sit or kneel during the national anthem not because they’re gay, lesbian, black, white, but because the country that they’re living in, the country that once stood behind them seems to be backing away from what they stand for. So what is it that you feel Tomi? Or should I just watch another three minute video?

WHEN was it that you decided that this is what you wanted to do? When did you decide that instead of adding positive opinions and light to the republican party, you would spread hate and the most negative side of things that you could possibly find? Was it when you read all the positive responses you were getting from people? It’s kind of an interesting cycle, isn’t it? Negativity gains comments that are filled with positivity. Does it make you feel good, Tomi?

WHERE in your life were you when you realized that this is who you are? Has that happened yet, Tomi? Have you really decided that you want to be the woman who exudes negative energy through her teeth and out the speaker of my iPhone? Where were you, Tomi? Where are you now? Is this really you?

WHY. Why, Tomi? Why would you do this, of all things? You do debate well, I will give you that my dear. You could have been a lawyer defending someone or saving someone from something. You could have done so much instead of this. Why do you feel as though this is what you were meant to do? Why do you hate so much and so many people? Why are you the way you are? I suppose that’s an unfair question for me to ask, but then again you’re all about unfair questions, aren’t you?

So here’s to you, Tomi Lahren. Thank you for confirming what I already knew. There is hate behind beauty, there is still work that still needs to be done in this country, and that I am not a republican. Those are my final thoughts.

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
