Get Over Your Tattoo Judgements
Google

You know you've judged someone for their tattoo at least once. Maybe it's the placement or what the tattoo is. An employer may not hire you because of your tattoo, or they may make you cover it up to be professional. I have no problem with covering it up, but to not get hired because of your tattoo is ridiculous. It is a part of you and represents something important in your life. It's such a stereotype to say that people who have tattoos are trouble-makers or bad people. Tattoos should be off limits for people to attack you for. That's your business, your body, your history, and your money. My tattoos mean so much to me and I plan on getting two more. I might even get a full arm sleeve because I love tattoos that much. You can read mine because they are both scripture tattoos, but you will never know the true meaning behind them. There is so much meaning behind both of my tattoos and that is my business. It is art and it is truly beautiful. You don't have to like tattoos or have them yourself, but that doesn't give you the right to judge someone because they do. Don't stare at them and don't ask us what they mean unless you're very close to us. They are addicting, but mine are not out of impulse. Mine remind me every day why I am alive and who I am alive for. Love everyone as your own. I promise you'll never live in anger again.

“My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story"- Johnny Depp

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
