If We Treated Men That Way

Modest is hottest...until it goes too far.

If We Treated Men That Way

Guys, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's summertime and while it's super hot outside, I think it's important that you practice modesty this summer. While you may want to be comfortable, it's important that you're careful not to stir up lustful temptations within your sisters in Christ. Here are some ways in which God's men should partake in modesty.

1. Don't go shirtless.

2. Don't take your dog (puppies especially) out in public.

3. Stay away from children.

4. Don't wear Chubbies.

5. No male rompers!

6. Don't wear a uniform of any kind.

7. No suits either.

8. Basically, as far as attire goes you're allowed one of two things: Appropriately long pants with a t-shirt OR appropriately long pants with a Hawaiian shirt. That's usually decently safe.

9. Don't get tattoos.

10. Don't come off as even a little bit flirty because if you flirt then you're basically asking for sex. (Recall that episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody where Agnes gets a bit too obsessed with Cody. Hey, he led her on.)

11. Don't drink because if you get drunk and someone takes advantage then it's automatically your fault for being too drunk to say no.

And if you can't tell by now, this is just a list to prove a point. If men had to live by the standards that women are told to live by every day then they would be in so much trouble. It isn't anyone else's responsibility to keep you in check. Self control is crucial and must be exercised daily. Now, with that being said, I think I'm going to go lay out by the pool in my new bikini.

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.
