Struggles of Being a White Conservative Girl

With all the crazy extreme views that seem to be occupying the news and conversations everywhere, especially on college campuses, it is harder now than ever to be a white conservative girl. Don't take it as me playing the victim card either because it is actually something that helps me push forward.

As I sit in my most liberal professor's class, who prefers to be called by his first name (which goes against all of my traditional values in a classroom), I have ideas of socialism and black feminism shoved down my throat. When I switched universities I never knew how out of touch people could be in a city. Just because Denver is a metropolis, doesn't mean that people don't blindly follow like a lot of the United States. If anything, I think they do it more because of the constant need for being trendy. Look, I am a trendy gal but when are old fashioned values and respect going to come back in style? No offense to Antifa, (and yes it is a hate group), but you are not the only "minority" out there. I, the white girl am now a minority, especially in thought.

I am over being told I need to have a safe space.

I am over being told to feel bad for people who aren't as fortunate.

I am over being silenced.

Here is the truth, it sucks being a conservative white girl, there are a hell of a lot of stereotypes put on us that just simply aren't true. I would say the majority of us are not white supremacists. Fact is, you're being ignorant by putting that label on us without getting to know the facts on how we feel about specific issues that are not even close to being about race. So next time a liberal of any background asks me to silence my white girl privilege my response will be...


Stop living in your liberal narrow-minded bubble.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
