If You're Still Slut-Shaming In 2019, Please Reevaluate Everything About Yourself

From premium Snapchats to prostitution, some men usually have something negative to say about the women they constantly sexualize who are capitalizing on that same sexualization. If you log on any social media platform and scroll for about two seconds, you'll probably stumble across some meme making fun of sex workers. It's 2019, we are all learning to love our bodies, who cares if that means charging for access to it?

I don't know very many guys who have not asked a girl for nudes at least once in their life. I get it, you were probably in high school "all the cool kids were doing it," and you probably received a few, and sent out a few more. So, what exactly is wrong with someone charging for those same nudes, say on their Snapchat premium?

What about strippers? It's OK if you go in, throw some ones at a pretty girl in her underwear, right? If that's alright with you, why do you swear up and down you would never "allow" your girlfriend to be a stripper because that isn't wife material. The same goes with porn stars. A lot of men watch porn, but the thought of someone they love acting in adult movies usually makes them sick. Why is that? Strippers and porn stars make great money, and many say it's quite empowering. You're literally celebrating your body.

Although we are in the age of apps that allow us to find someone who is down to hook up the same night you match with them, consensual prostitution is still alive and well. (Emphasis on consensual.) In many cities, you can drive to certain areas late at night, usually at truck stops and find a woman selling sex. That is not the only place you can find a prostitute, though.

There are quite a few massage parlors that offer a "happy ending" for their clients. Some men are eager to find these women, especially those who are traveling or are recently divorced, use them and turn right around and say they would disown their own daughter for doing something like that.

My point here, is I see a lot of people who are so quick to criticize women who are proud to be sex workers. We all have to make money and sex is always in demand. Perhaps you should stop feeling entitled to other peoples bodies, maybe then people will stop feeling obligated to charge you.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
