To The Two Heroes In The Brock Turner Case

Carl-Fredrik Arndt and Peter Jonsson. Those are the names of the two men that saved "Emily Doe," the unconscious woman found behind the dumpster where Brock Turner was in the process of ruining her life. I personally didn't hear about these two gentlemen until a couple of days ago, after repeatedly hearing the name Brock Turner. I think the world needs to thank these two heroes.

To Carl and Peter, thank you both for having the courage to do something that not many people would do. Stopping someone from committing a crime sounds easy, right? It sounds easy until you're in that position. Who has the guts to stop a monster in his tracks?

Carl and Peter did.

Brock Turner could've been anyone. He could've done anything. He could've pulled a gun on this young woman or these two men. Instead, he ran. And Peter chased after him and was able to restrain him until authorities got ahold of this monster.

We all have friends and family members that we love dearly, and we hope that they're always safe. However, in situations when they're in danger, we hope that hero, like Carl or Peter, would be there to save the day.

Carl and Peter, thank you for saving that poor girl. Thank you for stepping in and putting a stop to her vicious assault. Thank you for stopping the coward that was on top of her and thank you for chasing after him when he tried to escape. I could only hope to be as courageous as you two. And it doesn't matter whether you guys are Stanford graduates or not, you still saved someone's life.

I know you both don't want the spotlight to be on you, but there are not enough words or enough things one could do for you to realize what heroes you both are.

Thank you for being two heroic gentlemen.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
