Maybe Men Aren't The Only Pigs

Maybe Men Aren't The Only Pigs

Girls are the cruelest creatures to ever walk the earth and the older I get, the more I realize how much they get away with it. Think way back to elementary school when boys used to chase you on the play ground. Who got in trouble? The boys. Now, turn it around. I do not remember a single time my girl friends and I got in trouble for chasing boys. Fast forward 20 years and now the "play ground" is different. It is now your college campus, the bars, concerts, and wherever you and your friends hang out, and yet some of you girls are acting just the same.

I am constantly hearing how men are the pigs for hitting on the girl in the skimpy clothes, flirting with the cute girl at the party when he is in a relationship, hooking up with the girl at the bar that may be a little too drunk or taking a girl home when he shouldn't be. Let me ask you this girls...how many of you are the ones in those skimpy clothes? Letting the guy with the girlfriend hit on you? Being the girl that's a little too drunk at the bar? Or taking a boy home when you shouldn't be?

You know who you are. You are 110% just as guilty. How come you don't get called a pig for that? How come it is okay to shame and belittle men but as soon as a girl is called out for their shameful acts, they try to use every excuse society has in the book? Forget the excuses. It is not okay, and for some reason our generation thinks it is acceptable to put all the blame on the guys, and it has to stop. You know he has a girlfriend. You know you are asking for attention when you wear those spandex around and show up to the bar in a "shirt" that looks like a bra.

Don't get me wrong, I am not by any means excusing the behavior of some men, but we hold just as much as the blame. Our generation is lacking self respect and common decency more and more every day. As females, we know how much it sucks to be a girl, so stop being the reasons for each other's trust issues. Stop chasing the wrong boys on the playground. Respect him. Respect yourself. Respect the girl at the other end. Stop blaming the boys of our generation on our behavior. Put some clothes on, correctly represent those Jesus tattoos, take responsibility, and keep your hands where they belong.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
