Why We Need To Talk About Kim Kardashian's Robbery
CDN

On October 3rd, Kim Kardashian-West was robbed of $10 million dollars worth of jewelry in her Paris apartment. Kim was bound, gagged, and held at gunpoint. This is an incredibly terrible act, and no one should ever go through what she went through. Unfortunately, this happens every day to many unsuspecting victims.

The sad thing is because she's rich she apparently deserved it. That's the problem with the world; a woman gets robbed, but because she's rich or they hate the family, people automatically jump the gun and say she deserved it or she's faking it.

According to multiple sources, Kim said she feared she was going to be raped. I've seen so many jokes about it saying she wouldn't mind, etc. She deserves to be raped? What kind of sane person thinks that? This is a prime example of rape culture at its finest. A woman who has donated millions of dollars a year, an active feminist, a loving mother, wife, and daughter, just deserves to get raped? It's disgusting that we think this way. It doesn't matter that she's all of those things I've stated before; she's a woman first and foremost. She did not deserve this.

Kim has been in the spotlight almost every day for a long time. To have her almost completely disappear from the spotlight, it kind of shows that she has some emotional damage as a reaction to the crime. She's been seen holding her daughter, North, wearing baggy clothes. If you know Kim, you know this is strange for her.

It's time to stop victim blaming Kim and all other victims. If we want to better ourselves as a nation, it's time to care more about the victim. The victim is never to blame.

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.
