That is a really good question

To Swear or Not to Swear on Social Media

You find an article you just need to share on Facebook, you click the share button and find yourself stuck on a caption. You want your friends and followers to know why you shared it, why this was so personal to you that you just HAD to click that button. The "F" word comes to mind. Do you type it out? Do you use the F***!?! Or do you come up with some hilarious new way to type our your favorite 4 letter word?

Personally, I type that shit right out. Considering the state of the United States, World War III on our heels and a tanorexic, narcissist as the leader of this country, we have bigger problems than dropping F bombs on social media. With anything we want to see at the click of our fingers or an HBO subscription, I think a lot of people are becoming desensitized to things they used to consider offensive. Sex scenes have become the norm yet so has political correctness. With the popularity of the internet and opinions literally being like assholes (everyone has one), what people are getting offended over has completely changed.

Although, swearing on social media does give me a little bit of anxiety and I wonder who might be looking at my post and not so much getting offended but thinking differently of me. There is a science to our social media posts and everyone has a reputation to uphold. I swear in my everyday life, why not on social media? Is there a certain standard that we are held up to on social media because of who might be lurking around our posts?

To swear or not to swear on social media. Thoughts?

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
