The Last Woman Standing

I Stand With Tim Allen

66
The Last Woman Standing
The Wrap

This past week almost all my Facebook feed has been flooded with the news that the show Last Man Standing, starring Tim Allen, was cancelled due to being too bias against liberals. Anything that stirs up drama in politics always draws my attention, but as a person that is a strong believer in our First Amendment, I was interested within the first post.

It is often times that when people post things on Facebook it comes off uninformed so I often take my research elsewhere to formulate my own opinion because if there is anything I hate, it is that when liberals and conservatives alike, blurt off their mouths about things that they can't back up. So I decided to watch the clip that got the show cancelled in the first place. I watched it and for the first time I felt like television wasn't flooded with what Tim calls "whiny babies" or what I like to call "snow flakes."

The clip starts out with Tim's character's daughter having him write a speech in order for her to pass her ethics class. As he begins going over plans for a speech, she says that there is basically a list of "no-no's" that her father should stay away from in order to not offend the students. He basically says there are less things that they wouldn't be offended by and he should be given that list first. Tim can barely make it through two words without having the possibility of hurting someones feelings in his daughter's college (shocker). He can't even start his speech with ladies and gentleman because not everyone identifies as those, apparently. He responds by saying, "I thought there were only two choices." Well, me too Tim and I always will. This pan, bi, queer stuff is starting to confuse me, two choices are much easier. We wouldn't want to offend anyone now would we. What really got me was when Tim's character wasn't even allowed to say that in this great country we call America we all have these great opportunities if we work hard enough. Because apparently not everyone has the same opportunities, I hate to be blunt but get over it. We all have some sort of thing that sets us back, no excuses just hard work. That's the American way, honey, learn it, live it, love it.

When the clip wraps up, Tim ends up writing a speech so sarcastic that I even knew he wasn't being serious. But I think the point here is liberals are bothered by this because it doesn't fit within their box of protesting. Protesting has only become okay if you're a liberal. Taking a show off the air because it shows an opinion only one side doesn't like is something conservatives see as a threat to our First Amendment right, it is actually getting quite scary. But when you're a liberal that listens to fake news on a daily basis when factual information is broadcasted, it seems like fake news. Welcome to the world of brainwashing-Hillary-loving-feminists. I have a problem with all stations acting like the Republican way is wrong. This is America, I mean aren't we supposed to be accepting and diverse like liberals would want? How does it feel with the shoe on the other foot?

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
