Instead Of Getting Mad, Get Over It Instead

Why get mad when you could be happy instead?

The first thing that comes to mind to write about is feminism. However, that has been super really extremely overdone in the past few weeks.

My first thought is why? Why do people need to make it so known that they do not like something? If someone is going to go to the trouble to learn to knit, spend a few hours knitting a pink hat, and then wear said pink hat resembling female anatomy, I truly do not think they care if you are not down for their cause.

I’m going to propose a revolutionary new idea about what to do when someone or a group of people do something you don’t like.

Do nothing. Ignore it. Take their activities with a grain of salt, and move on.

I know. How can you go about doing this? Who will write long posts on Facebook and compose endless tweets criticizing these wild animals?

What will you do with all of this free time spent not hating something? Maybe you can spend your valuable and now plentiful time doing things you actually like, and if you can handle it, maybe even love.

Do things you love. Watch movies you like. Only care and rail about things that make you wildly happy.

I’m not suggesting that we all gather in a circle and sing “Kumbaya”, but maybe we can stop putting so much unnecessary effort and just not pay attention to things that cause us distress.

Perhaps with this newly acquired free time, you will rediscover how amazing and beautiful life can be. You will notice the little things, and you will smile at how simple life can be when you make it so.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
