Yes, I'm A Special Snowflake

A really special f*cking snowflake.

Yes, I'm A Special Snowflake

The term "special snowflake" has taken the internet by storm ever since Toyota Lasagna (more commonly known as Tomi Lahren) went on yet another rant about how everyone is too sensitive nowadays when it comes to Donald Trump.

Almost all of the very few republicans I have left on my social media have been sharing pro-Trump posts with "suck it up you special snowflakes" as the caption. I know its supposed to be offensive, with me being a special snowflake and all, but instead, I'm going to bask in it.

I'm a special snowflake because I believe every woman should have access to a safe and legal abortion, and I'm going to voice my opinion when that's threatened.

I'm a special snowflake because I believe Immigrants make America great, and I'm going to voice my opinion when my brothers and sisters safety is threatened.

I'm a special snowflake because I believe that Black Lives Matter, and I'll stand in solidarity with those who are scared of being killed or beaten due to the color of their skin.

I'm a special snowflake because I am outraged that 24 trans people were murdered in 2016 alone.

I'm a special snowflake because I believe that a man who has evoked such hatred in the world, should not be in the highest position of power.

If believing in those things and plenty more, labels me as being too sensitive, then so be it. I won't apologize for being angry about how the world is today. I will continue to voice my discontent, regardless of how you feel about it.

I, and millions of other special snowflakes, will never stop fighting for the fundamental rights that every human being deserves.

Sincerely,

A really special f*cking snowflake.

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.
