7 Things NOT To Say To A Bisexual Person
Media

As a gladly bisexual young lady, for quite a long time I've needed to explore the confounded hazy area that my personality involves on the sexuality range. In spite of the majority of the additions the LGBT people group has made, bisexuals are still looked upon with disarray — or by and large disdain — by gays, lesbians, and straight individuals alike. From individuals inquiring as to whether I was "all out gay yet" to others doubting my inspirations, I've presumably heard it all.

Lamentably, the twofold thinking about the individuals who deny cross-sexuality's presence at last persecutes everybody by sustaining courageous models of character, regardless of whether they be heteronormative or homonormative. Getting physically involved with somebody of a similar sex doesn't mean you're gay, much the same as getting physically involved with somebody of the inverse sex doesn't mean you're straight — it just means you fall some place in the lovely, liquid range of sexuality.

1. Bisexuals do not exist: This is the first and most pervasive lie about bisexuality.

2. "You are going through a phase.": OKAY OKAY. I have heard this a billion times. I am not going through a phase. Trust me.

3. Bisexuals are scared of commitment: Being attracted to both genders doesn't have anything to do with commitment.

4. Bisexuals are attracted to anything that moves: I've never heard something SO insulting, and so ridiculous. This statement makes me want to throw up. Whoever said this must be really full of themselves.

5. Bisexuals live for threesomes: Stop. Just stop sexualizing my attraction to both sexes.

6. Bisexuals are cheaters: A cheater is a cheater. Bisexual people cheat, and so do people who identify as straight, gay, trans, or anything else. A person's sexuality does not make them cheat.

7. Bisexuals do it for attention: I hear this more often than not. To be honest, I could think of ten other things that would get better attention than bragging about my sexual preference.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
