I'm Not Okay With Being Coddled

Aren't we adults?

I'm Not Okay With Being Coddled

When you hear about going to college you hear that these are the year you will remember for the rest of you life, or it's the best time of you life, where you're free to make decisions on your own. Your away from home, away from mom or dad telling you what you can or can not do right? Wrong!!!

At least for the case of the bubble. The bubble is a term used for a " security blanket". Don't get me wrong I Love the University I go to, and everything they stand for, but there comes a time and place where we have to be treated like adults. If you have a female who has majority male friends or vise versa, but is prohibited to just go to the room of the opposite sex and talk, play video games, or just hang out, I'm going to feel like I'm being treated like a baby. I never had rules like that being home, I understand everyone in college is there to get there education, then start there lives, but forming bonds, and connections with people is apart of growing up.

If you have people who are continuing to be coddled when they head out into the real world, there going to crash and burn. I feel as if some sort of Trust should be there, until I give reason to do otherwise. I can understand that we are a Christian University, but if I'm just trying to fellowship with my brothers in Christ why should there be limitations? The fact that I can not even have my own brother who is 13 stay in the same room as me is an incredible issues, that's my blood really. I know that the school doesn't want to tempt us, but that's all apart of growing up.

You need to make mistakes so you can learn from them and make better choices next time. We learn this thing called self-control. Not every male friend of mine wants to sleep with me and I definitely don't want to sleep with them, so what's the problem. This bubble system is going to crash and burn, and is ultimately crippling the students. You have to dress like this, do this, eat this, don't act like this, make sure your in by this. NO!!!!

If someone is dressed in a certain attire and they get fired because of it, or don't get the position they want because they are acting a certain way, there going to realize quickly what they have to do to change, but the company will not be holding your hand because of it, why, because as adults we are expected to act like one. Grow up people seriously.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
