We all need to take a break.

Some Thoughts Besides The U.S. Election
Wallpapers High Quality

It's been a chaotic time with the U.S. Election. There's been so much to think, say, do and I admire all the effort and involvement that's being taken in to the affairs and current events.

However, amidst all the noise, there's a lot of stress and overwhelming emotion. I feel the best thing to do is to try and step back for awhile. Take a break and relax. Do what you enjoy or something that you have been putting off for awhile. Go read a book, take a walk in a park, exercise, or find a new hobby! Compared to the entire observable universe, the issue of politics and current affairs are petty.

If we are concerned about every little thing that centers around our lives, we should also be concerned about the sun eventually dying out and becoming a supernova that will wipe out humanity, climate change and asteroids that could cause humans to be extinct.

My point is that there is no point in dwelling on so many things, especially things we have no control over. I think there is so much frustration, anger, stress, confusion and negativity in general that is building up all over the world. What people need to realize is that we are all on this planet Earth (that is heating up) together. In order to be significant, we need to be significant to each other. I hope to see a world where there is more positivity and happiness while being involved in the current affairs and issues.

People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
