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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
