Stop The Division, We Are All Part Of The Same Race

Our biggest focus should be changing our way of thinking to understand each other instead of criticizing one another.

Have you seen the royal wedding? If you haven't, I'm pretty sure you heard about it.

The problem that has been rising on the internet is the fact that people are comparing how people bashed childish Gambino for dating outside of his "race" but they were bashing the bride and prince for their marriage. For the internet, to be bashing people because of who they fell in love with makes me always remember that there is so much in the world that divides us.

I feel like nowadays, everyone focuses on the differences between each other but never look at the similarities. I feel like as humans, we always look for things that make a person different from us and most times when this happens it is usually something that they are doing wrong. For example, people often compare weight between one another. A person may belittle another simply because they are "overweight."

In my opinion, I feel like us focusing on "race" is the biggest problem because, technically speaking, the way that we identify race is not correct. What I mean by this is what we consider to be a race is not correct. For example, we consider a being black as a race when in actuality, there is only one race, which is the human race. a person is black, white or anything else was created to make others feel inferior and to create division.

When people start to realize that most words that were created were done so with the purpose to cause separation, then people will start to understand why we are not all so different after all. In turn, this will allow us as humans to have compassion for one another.

Therefore, I feel like, as one race, our biggest focus should be changing our way of thinking to understand each other instead of criticizing one another.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
