And one that everyone should hear.

My Take On The Hottest Topic Around: Abortion Laws
Wikimedia Commons

No matter which "side" of this massive, trending topic you are on please just take a few minutes to read this.

I am a Christian which does mean that I am "supposed" to be "pro-life," but I just believe the issue is so much deeper than "pro-life" vs "pro-choice."

In fact, I really cannot tell you what I would do if I got pregnant right now, I really can't but I would like to have a CHOICE.

There are so, so, so many valid reasons for someone to get an abortion: rape, a health risk for mama, a health risk for baby, etc. Which is why there cannot be a black and white answer to this issue full of gray areas. You can be pro-life for YOU and YOUR body, but you have zero right to force that on someone else.

These new laws are simply unconstitutional and you should be able to see that regardless of if you are left or right.

It is unjust to take away someone's right to make a choice.

It is unjust to take away/limit access to birth control pills that people need for painful period symptoms, relief of ovarian cysts, acne, PMS, hormonal imbalances, etc.

It is unjust to endanger the health of others.

Why is it okay for a man to freely get a vasectomy but a woman can't get her tubes tied without someone's permission?

Why is it ok to provide free condoms but ban birth control (which for the love of God needs to be more accessible!!)?

In fact, if you think about it.. men are responsible for literally 100% of unplanned pregnancies

I know, that's bold, but guess what? Men are fertile 24/7 from puberty to the grave, but women are only fertile two days a month! yup, two days! That is 24 days a year, 24 chances to get pregnant (at least until menopause hits ya) while men have infinite chances to impregnate someone. All it takes is one tiny sperm from one slip-up on a man's end. One condom slip, one early ejaculation, one "oops I forgot to pull out," one "I just wanted to see what it felt like to cum in someone." It just takes one little sperm from a MAN.

Furthermore, men pressure women all the time to have sex without condoms (which mind you were invented to protect from STIs, not pregnancy and therefore are NOT 100% effective in preventing pregnancy) because it "feels better" without one.

Men have no right to make decisions on our behalf, especially ones that are largely results of their own irresponsible behavior.

In fact, NO ONE has the right to take away someone else's choice. period.

Think about this scenario:

Your 13-year-old daughter is raped by a family member and becomes pregnant. If she carries to term she could die and the baby will probably have several health issues, your daughter is distraught. She did not ask for this and she does not want to have her rapist's baby nor does she want to die in the process.

So I ask, what would you do in a situation that is not so black and white? And how would you feel if she did not even have a choice?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
