Can We Stop Hating on Each Other?

I find this very funny because people talk about not being hateful towards others, but yet it is everywhere.

If a women comes out and says they want to be a stay at home mom and not work, she gets hated on for not going out and working because it is "unrealistic." However, they never ask why she would want to stay at home and people just assume its because she doesn't want to work.

If a women wants to have an abortion, she gets judged for not wanting to have the child. No one ever asks why she did it. Maybe because she didn't want to have a toddler and a new born at the same time, maybe for medical reasons, or maybe because she isn't financially ready.

If a women decides to breast feed her child and for how long people judge on that (usually other moms shaming others). Again not asking why the mother decided not to beast feed or stop at a year compared to stopping when the child is ready.

If a girl/women doesn't want to go into a STEM job she gets judged because she isn't taking advantage of the opportunities that are available to her. Does anyone ever stop to think that maybe she isn't interested in doing a STEM job?

If a guy shows emotion, he is seen as weak.

If a guy likes to do "feminine" activities, they are seen as doing a "women's job" and let me say this: I know many guys who can cook really, really well, and clean better than some women. It doesn't mean that they are doing a "women's job" — it means they were taught to do more than just the stereotypical "mans job" and they were actually taught how to care for the inside of the house and not live in a mess and actually cook real meals.

If a guy wants to stay home with his kids he is looked down on because it isn't the social norm.

Why do people talk so much about supporting each other and yet turn around and do the complete opposite?

Can we stop judging others with how they live their personal lives, which will in no way affect your life in anyway?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
