Things that I'm Tired Of

Why must there be so much negativity?

We come from a very judgmental society, and honestly there are so many things I'm just tired of. Here are five things I'm just tired of:

1. Double Standards:

Double standards come in many forms. For one, girls are shamed for sleeping around while guys are given a high five for concurring the most females. I'm tired of seeing men post that they want a woman who is lady like and respects herself enough to be with the minimum amount of men. Honesty if you want a girl who has never been with a man than you should be the same way and have never been with a woman. I'm also tired of double standards in media when it comes to color. This ranges from the negative pictures showed of African Americans for a crime similar or less severe than a white individual who has a more flattering picture that does not depict a criminal. It is also shown with the way we depict our celebrities. I'll just mention the fact that many black rappers have really good hearts, and donate and try to give back to society...yet we only here of the white singer who is really giving back for a tax break.

2.Judgment:

Why do people have to make comments about how someone else looks, or for what another person likes. If someone likes popular music or if someone likes music no one really knows about why do you care. Why do you feel like you have a place to talk about someones attendance in class. Where are you to think someone is dumb just because you're grades are better in math. People are so quick to judge another for something they are lacking in, but in the end those same people are lacking perspective, sympathy and understanding.

3. Hypocrites

I understand we are all hypocritical sometimes, but sometimes I just get tired of seeing it. Actually I should clarify, I'm tired of people being hypocritical on social media. Why is the people who say, "I don't say much on social media about...," for some reason have the most to say on social media.

4.People who post about their problems:

I'm not talking about posting about things that are meant to help others feel like they are not alone, I'm talking about the people who like to post about their ex. If you were in a relationship with someone than all of your problems with that person should be just between the two of you. You have no right to let the whole world know each others struggles and this goes for any type of relationships. I'd also just like to say that if you ever loved someone that in the end you would try and keep the problems you had just between the two of you, and if you are so petty to let others know than it just shows that what you had was never love.

5.People that always have something to say:

Why can't someone just have a happy post? Why is it someone always has to find something wrong and let that person know where so many different people can see it? In my honest opinion if you have something you see that looks negative on someones post just message them and let them know. Maybe they didn't realize they posted something that could possibly be taken personally, maybe they didn't realize they looked dumb in something they said.

All in all, I feel like all of this could be solved if people just thought of others more. Honesltly before you do or say something remember that your actions can offend another or create a negative picture of yourself in someones head.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
