She Deserved It

The sentence above is a lie.

She Deserved It
ET Online

Welcome to 2016, a world so ready to blame a woman for being held up at gunpoint in her own apartment, because she did something in the privacy of her own home 10 years ago. In a culture trying to be so 'politically correct' and trying not to offend anyone we've sure as hell taken a turn for the worse in the last 6 months by immediately blaming the victims of these crimes. Why is it the woman's fault? It absolutely isn't. Whether she's famous or not. It doesn't matter if the criminal was a 'Olympic bound swimmer' or the victim just so happened to consensually make love to her partner at the time who then decided to publish it for the whole world to see.

Here we are in 2016 and people are actually saying Kim Kardashian DESERVED to be attacked, tied up, and robbed. People. Come on. I mean I'm not huge Pop Culture guru and truly don't follow anyone close enough to care what clothes they're wearing at a certain gala, but actually saying she deserved what happened to her is just absolutely dehumanizing. Sure, she makes a lot of money and her life is televised. She's from a famous family and you know what? They market themselves well. Can your picture get taken and you make thousands of dollars just for a simple smile with your daughter? Nope? Didn't think so.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that this is where we are now in society. We are AGAIN (thanks Brock Turner) blaming the victim!! This is all, frankly, BULLSHIT! I don't care who you are. If you have a the barrel of a gun on your forehead and you're being tied up and thrown into your bathroom, you deserve every right to be horrified and have people mourn for you and your safety. No matter who it is. At its honestly laughable that people actually think it's ok to blame her. So stop. This shouldn't have to be said.

Kim, I'm so sorry that something so tragic had to happen to you and I hope they catch the perpetrators. Something like this shouldn't happen to anyone and as a mother it must be even more nerve wracking that your child could be in danger.

Finally people just stop acting like children and act like adults. Treat each other like you would want to be at and at least remember everyone else is just as human as you are.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
