Locker room talk is I can deadlift 300 pounds. Locker room talk is I'm so sore from that jog. Locker room talk is not degrading women. It is not looking at women as a trophy or an object for you to take. It is not going back to primary roots and degrading women. Locker room talk is not being a disgrace to the very women who raised you.

In a world of change and progressive thinking, women are still viewed as objects. Women are still having their name slandered because of male expectations. Women are judged by their bodies. They are viewed negatively based on their sexuality. Men are still living in a world of underlying agendas to get women to compromise their values. The ideal woman is one who has values, but not values so set in stone that a man can't play her emotions like a fiddle.

I want to date a guy who does not look at me as a sexual object. I want to marry a man who doesn't resort to degrading women based on their appearance. I want to have a son that I have raised to respect women and not resort to such a terrible thing as locker room talk.

I question the future if a man who will possibly be running this country looks at women as a sexual agenda. I thought I lived in a world where the president was striving to be a role model. I thought being president was about looking to the younger generation to help them build a better tomorrow. I hope that the younger generation doesn't look to him for what I leader should be.

The term locker room talk is not an excuse for being a pig. You can't be a feminist when you are on the stage with a strong female yet be in the dark ages when you are around your boys. You can't say you support women just to get the female vote. You can't throw your daughter out to the public to hope she can get women on your side. You can't expect the American people to look at you as a leader if the only thing you are leading in is scandals. Somewhere along the lines your character started to show through the locker room talk and into the arena

Women are a prize. They are not something to be conquered. They are not sexual objects walking around for a male's visual pleasure. They are souls with thoughts and feelings. These women are your mother, your sister, your daughter. They are not locker room talk. Mr. Trump, if all you are is locker room talk maybe that is where you should stay.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
