The Not So Nice Implications of Blue Millennials

Why an overwhelming democratic demographic of millennials is not a victory.

The numbers came in. The Democrats may have lost an election cycle, but they celebrated when they saw the future. Millennials are almost universally voting Democrat.

Let’s go ahead and assume this is true. There has been controversy over it, but I won’t address it here. This means that liberals are fighting the wrong enemy on the college campus. If you want me to be more specific, here’s a couple of things it entails:

1. The campus rape culture liberals rail against is statistically perpetuated by other liberals.

2. Mass shootings and gun violence committed by mostly young men are statistically more likely to be liberal.

3. The vandalism all too common to “peaceful protests” is perpetrated by liberals.

4.This is not a time for celebration. This ought to be a wake-up call.

My liberal friends, you’re fighting the wrong enemy if you believe conservatives are to blame for the pain millennials inflict on each other.

5. Perhaps your consent classes should have more characters with vibrantly colored hair and ear gauges instead of being clean-cut.

If you want to keep your image of diversity, I would also include people of same-sex attraction and more non-white characters.

6. Perhaps you should come clean about the political alignment of the shooters before you start twitter hashtags.

Maybe you should be more honest in your journalism about where the shootings take place. Projecting the problems you have with your own people who don’t understand guns and have no respect for them on people who grow up in a culture of guns who understand them inside and out is tiresome.


My conservative friends, if you have complaints about millennials, your complains are as much against the product of liberalism as it is against the individual you’re complaining about. I encourage you to attack the policies and ideas that motivate millennials rather than attacking the individual.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
