From a College Student

Letter to Brock Turner

Dear Brock Turner,

Let me start this off by saying how disgusting you really are. You are the worst nightmare of every college student, whether it's a man or a woman. A night after drinking, all most of us want to do is go home, sit on the couch with friends, and eat pizza. That's honestly a perfect night you to have during these times in college. You know what kind of night we don't want? The kind that leads us behind a dumpster with a man that seemed friendly only to find out that all he wanted to do was to take some clothes off. Apparently to you, no consent means yes. I don't care if it seemed like she was flirting with you and she made a comment about going back to her place, you're disgusting.

Years down the road, you might be lucky enough to find a woman that loves you and wants to have a family with you. What are you going to do if you have a daughter and she gets raped? Are you just going to act like it's no big deal and that he should only have three months in jail? I would hope you would want the worst for that man who does such a horrendous thing to your daughter. But if you say you would want him to suffer in prison, then you are also a hypocrite. It's simply the fact that you are the one getting charged that has made you wish for the Judge to go easy on you. Why? Because you're a swimmer? Because it would hurt you too much to be in there? Or because you promise to be good? I personally don't care what it does to you. You're nothing but a rapist now. You did that to yourself.

So next time you look in the mirror, just know that you ruined a woman's life to the point where she can't even look at herself. You put this thought into the rest of our head's that we aren't as safe as we thought. You are the reason why society sucks. I can only wish the worst for you at this point

Sincerely,

College Students (everywhere)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
