Just pay for that premium Snapchat and go, Chad.

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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
