It Should Go Without Saying, But You Shouldn't Find Ted Bundy And Other Killers Attractive

We all have bad taste sometimes but this could really be deathly.

It Should Go Without Saying, But You Shouldn't Find Ted Bundy And Other Killers Attractive

Ted Bundy. America is absolutely losing its mind over one of its most famous serial killers. He struck in the 70's killing approximately 30 women but alluding to the fact that he killed closer to 100. The man terrorized California, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and finally Florida for years before finally coming to his death.

Many people who knew him thought he was charming and attractive and for the time period, he was! However, this does not excuse people finding him attractive now. The day before his execution he admitted to all the kidnapping, murders, and rapes but people are still finding him attractive? He is a monster and should only be viewed that way.

Ted Bundy and many other serial killers are psychopaths. That means they thrive on recognition and hurting others when we romanticize these behaviors and turn them into movies with Zac Efron, we encourage more psychopaths to come out of hiding.

A perfect example of this phenomenon is school shootings. Not to get into specifics, but one time someone killed some kids at a school. Another person saw this and was inspired to do something worse so they killed more kids at a different school. This leads to the tragedies we see almost every month in America, and it leads to kids in schools dying.

Now, this isn't to say a crime documentary is a bad thing, it helps us learn from the past and it keeps history from repeating itself. This can even prevent future deaths or rapes, just by showing you can't trust a random cute guy at the lake asking you for help. It teaches us to be safer, unfortunately at the cost of losing others.

All in all, there's a lesson to be learned, not all yellow VW Bugs are safe. Also, don't judge an attractive book by its cover, not everyone that is pretty is gold. Don't let this stop you from going on dates with cuties though, go live your best life, just maybe stay away from strangers.

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.
