We've Talked. Now Let's Do Something.

How many more deaths do we need to show us that there is a problem?

We've Talked. Now Let's Do Something.

Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora and now Orlando. How many more people have to die for america to realize that we need to fix this. 13 year olds should not be able to get a gun just as easily as getting their license to drive. These 4 mass shooting combined have well over 100 people that have died for a senseless reason.


Their should be no questions about how many more it will take for the people to do something. It should only be a question of when.

All the people that died were someones sibling, parents, significant others, friends and even children.

Their deaths should'nt be something that america just sat idle by to watch. Unfortunately they were but we as a nation can change that for future mass shootings. Of course while hoping they will never happen again but unfortunately it is likely that they will happen but at the most less often.


In this case their are several websites to get more information on gun control.

To name a few.

Please talk to your local officials about gun control. This mens facebook them, tweet them, email them and write them a letter telling them enough is enough. Several states in the United States still allow you to carry a gun without a license. Here is a link to a map telling you if your state is one of them.

Enough is enough.

No more deaths, just love.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
