An Open, Aggressive Letter To Pro-Lifers

For those pro-lifers out there working really hard to protect unborn children, I really hope you don't scoff at all those children after they grow up. You know, the ones that were never adopted or financially supported and end up having to go through the nightmare that is the foster care system. The ones that will probably end up having to use stamp cards in line at HEB. Those people that you really felt needed to be born, you now judge and claim they're ripping off your taxes. Let's close abortion clinics, yes, "make people live with their consequences." But isn't a baby supposed to be a miracle and not a consequence? And if so, then you're recognizing the unfortunate situation that it would be to have to put a child through foster care or attempt to take care of a child that you can't take care of. By making people live with their consequences, you forget that the unborn baby is both the "consequence" and a "person" that is going to also live with those consequences.

Please don't bring that, "they should have a right to fight for their life" bull-crap here.You should be more willing to fight for their lives, knowing they're defenseless children entering a world with no mother or father that can provide for them, like was naturally provided to you. Fighting for their lives before they're born and not while they're fully conscious beings is a joke. By just being born to parents that wanted you and could provide for you, you're already 10 steps ahead of a person that wasn't.

However, by all means, keep crying about the immorality of abortion clinics and sex and people entitled to your tax dollars. Please, continue being entitled enough to your opinion, to force others to live the way you want, even though that probably will not be possible for them because they aren't as privileged as you. Please continue not wanting anything to do with the people that need help and call those people "lazy" and "entitled," even though they will have to fight just to make up for the financial support system that you were born with.

"People have fought and gone from homeless to famous." Well, yes, good for those people, but do we really live in a system where everyone is allowed to succeed? I mean, seriously? Who is going to flip burgers and work for big businesses if everybody has a degree? Just the teenagers, right? That's beside the fact that most of those jobs are filled by middle age adults. However, I guess they're all just lazy, right? If you're capable of putting time and energy into closing abortion clinics, defunding planned parenthood, and so on, then I would think there should be an equal push to love those who are already born and need you.

If you can't do that, then you're not pro-life. You're pro-"others taking responsibility for their actions." Which is ironic, considering you fail to realize the negative impact you're having on other's lives by making contraception and abortion harder to obtain.

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.
