Why Everyone Should Get A Tattoo
Mandi Jourdan's boyfriend.

They're cool! Point blank period. We humans love us some art. We love creating it, debating it and having it. Art is essential to the fabric of humanity and I am not exaggerating. So, why not have a piece of art being attached to yourself? There is something that just feels so right about that. It should be encouraged and met with admiration by people on your social media platform. It's a quick and easy way to get likes and get people who are into you hard as a motherfuckin' rock.

When I think of tattoos, the first word that pops to mind is sexy. There is such a sexiness to having a tattoo that I can't put into words. Which is odd, because I am typing words for an article that you are reading right now. The world's biggest lie, besides Trump's dick size (Sorry Melania), is that people aren't attracted to tattoos. Everybody is and if you don't believe you are, stop lying to yourself. You know you want to snort some coke off a tramp stamp just once before Nuclear War happens and you become a cockroach.

Taking humans most basic instinct out of the equation, tattoos help showcase a humans creativity. Tattoo artists are the best artists working today. What these people are able to do is absolutely incredible. They deserve a higher pay if you ask me, cause some of these tattoos I'm seeing look like a million fuckin' dollars.

Tattoos also open the door for true sentimentality. Your body is your temple. It is who you are on a physical level. What better way to bring out what you have going on inside, by putting it on your outside. If you love comic books, get that Black Panther tattoo on your arm. Your passions are apart of who you are and should be showcased. If you are deeply religious, you can showcase your spiritual side with a tattoo of Jesus. If you love comic books and you are spiritual, get a tattoo of Jesus riding Black Panther on your chest. The possibilities are endless.

If your own qualms with getting tattoos is the pain and the fear of not getting a job. One, it's not all that painful. Just know your limitations and be smart about where you place the tattoo. You'll live...probably. As for the workplace issue, times are changing. What used to not not be acceptable is becoming the norm. Workplace people will have to get with the times or they will have no employees. That is an inevitability.

Basically, get off the pot and get a tattoo. Then maybe get back on the pot if that is your thing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
