Safe Harbor Yes

November 8th is on it's way!

And no don't worry, this isn't another Trump/Hilary article to get your wheels spinning. This is about another issue at stake that you have the power to help alleviate. The trafficking of children.

Slavery is still an issue today. Organizations like the End It Movement are raising awareness of this fact. They are working to help supply rescue and restoration to those around the world affected by trafficking. But there is a way that you can help those being trafficked right in your state!

In Georgia, there are hundreds of children who are trafficked and exploited. Come November, Georgia voters will be able to approve Constitutional Amendment 2 to create the Safe Harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund. Through this action, as much as 2 million (annually) in funds will be protected and used to provide restoration for these children. These funds will be distributed directly to the agencies that supply resources for children escaping exploitation.

Where will these funds come from? Additional penalties placed on convicted sex traffickers and a new fee on the adult entertainment industry. There will not be raises or newly created taxes on Georgians.

On election day, please remember to vote YES for the Safe Harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund. If you want to see how the question will be phrased on the ballot or would like more information, go to http://www.safeharboryes.com/learn/. Sex trafficking is a bigger problem than we often think. The industry targets children as young as nine years old. Help to restore the lives of these victims and vote yes.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
