Middle Ground Between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice

Everyone has the right to make their own decision.

Middle Ground Between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice

I am neither a pro-life supporter, nor a pro-choice supporter. There are people in this world who have the right to make their own decisions no matter what others think or feel. Yes, there are restrictions that need to be made that limit the amount of time you have between the time you've conceived and the time you are legally allowed to abort a baby (if there is no threat to you). After the time period, you are obligated to have said baby, no matter what.

I believe in the right to make your own decisions and here's why. I understand people mess up. We all have at some time in our lives. We all have the right to have a "redo". Although there are other options, like adoption, there are reasons to why someone might want to abort. Some might not have the means to provide/don't want to be the reason that child doesn't grow up in the right home, and some are just not ready.

Every pro-life supporter thinks that if you are not against abortion, that means you don't care. I care about the well being of people, but there's a fine line between being supporters, and butting in on others business.

Everyone has the right to life. But what's the point of having a baby grow up in the foster system, and risking to chance of them having a bad life. No one should have to go through that, no matter the situation. Being middle ground means looking ahead on life, and seeing the potential in other people.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

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.

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.
