Women on Country with a Focus of the MEN

Recently I was listening to a playlist on Spotify called "Women of Country" I love this playlist because it has all the amazing women of country music. There is one common trend that I noticed in this playlist with these women. Just about every song was about a man.

These are powerful, inspiring women and they're singing about being in love or heartbreak. I just couldn't believe it. I mean I know country music is know for being centered on love. But this is ridicules. Don't believe me? Here are some examples:

1. Jolene by Dolly Parton

This song is about a woman trying to steal Dolly's husband and she is begging her not to.

2. I Got the Boy by Jana Kramer

Jana is talking about one of her ex boyfriends and how he is getting married. She is going on about how he was a different person when she was with him. "I got the boy, she got the man."

3. Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain

The great Shania Twain even is on the list. She is giving all these requirements about what a guy has to be like if they want to be with her.

4. Vice by Miranda Lambert

Miranda shouldn't be a shock as to why she's on the list. Her ex husband Blake Shelton left her for another woman. So she made this song to describe her suffering and how she was coping with her divorce.

5. Church Bells by Carrie Underwood

Mrs. Underwood also shouldn't be a surprise, all the she writes about is love and heartbreak she goes from singing Before He Cheats to Heartbeat. This girl is like flipping a switch but she is amazing woman, mother, and wife. I just hope Mike Fischer never cheat on her for the sake of his vehicle anyway.

Now there are of course songs on the playlist that are not about men, like 80s Mercedes, Road Less Traveled, and Fly. But majority of them are from these amazing, women that inspire us to be ourselves, but how are we suppose to follow their lead when all they focus on is men?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
