Why is this considered news?

Lately, I have seen a very common trend on social media. I am not one that is very drawn to reading things like Cosmopolitan or Daily Mail, but as most Snapchat users know, they now have their own Snapchat stories that are updated every day.

So why has this caught my interest? Almost every single day the headline is something along the lines of "You won't believe what [Celebrity] was wearing" or "[Celebrity] was seen in a very revealing outfit in NYC." It grabs my attention mainly because it's hard for me to understand that paid journalists can write about a women's breasts everyday for a living. The "articles" often include minimal written work and are accompanied with 15 pictures of a female celebrity's nipples censored out of a picture.

So, friendly reminder, women have breasts. Isn't that crazy?

My roommates and I were watching Family Feud the other night and two contestants approached the buzzers in the middle of the stage. Steve Harvey asks, "Name a sexy celebrity a man might think should win an award for her big golden globes?" Her golden globes. Seriously? All of our jaws dropped.

It doesn't stop there. As I mentioned before, Cosmopolitan and Daily Mail always seem to grab my attention with their outrageous headlines. I understand that mentioning a Kardashian or Jenner is an easy way to gain an audience for an article. I constantly see articles about their family, regarding who got implants or who wore a sheer top. But my only concern is, why is this news?

For example:

Someone wrote an article solely about Beyoncé's cleavage. The entire article was pictures zoomed in on Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z, every picture was captioned in a way that it only dragged attention to Beyoncé's breasts. Why? She and her husband attending the U.S. Open to support a friend is not news, and a woman wearing whatever she wants to wear is not news either.


Here is another example of the sexualization of women's bodies in the media. Some genius wrote an entire article about Charlotte McKinney's breasts. And, on top of that, the picture was censored. I think everyone on the planet knows what's there. The thing is- why does it matter?



I'm sick of seeing things like this and I'm sure many others can agree. Wear a bra. Don't wear a bra. Wear a low-cut shirt. Wear a t-shirt. No matter what the situation is- women have breasts. And, more importantly, women can do whatever they want with their breasts.

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.
