33 Unnecessary Gender Specific Products

We live in a world where colors, toys, clothing, and much more are thrown at boys and girls the second they are born. “Pink is for girls, and blue is for boys.” “Princesses are for girls, and trucks are for boys.” I could go on and on with things that are generally assumed for a certain gender. While many of these go back years and years, more and more is arising. Here, I have collected for you, a number of unnecessarily gender specific products.

1. Ear plugs


2. Tea

3. Kleenex

4. Razors

5. Beer

6. Yogurt

7. Socks

8. "Laptops"

9. Face masks

10. M&Ms

11. Chips


12. Bath time

13. Baby/children's clothes

14. Q-tips

15. The Earth


16. Earphones

17. Crowns

18. Cheese

19. Nurse/doctor kits

20. Tape


21. Laundry products


22. Tinkertoys

23. Baby harnesses

24. Magnets

25. Pens


26. Shower Gel

27. Toy guns

28. Squirrel underpants

29. Origami

30. Nail polish

31. Candles

32. Puzzles

33. Donuts

In conclusion, I am not actually offended by most of these items, and I understand that some even have good motives. So, if you want, go out and buy yourself some pink ear plugs or girl squirrel underpants. Just do not let these items limit you. Be who you truly are, and enjoy what you enjoy most, regardless of what society may tell you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
