Clowning Around

And Why They're Annoying

If you live in any major metropolitan area, you've probably heard about clown sightings. These little terrorists are not just funny and annoying but also pose as a dangerous threat. They assault strangers and even carry knives and other assorted weapons to perform their ultimate purpose: fucking around. Who even dresses up as a clown? Do these guys (gals?) think they're not scary enough that they have to dress up as clowns and terrorize everyone?

What makes me so angry about these clowns is the fact that they probably don't have jobs and yet STILL bought a clown costume just to mug people on the street and assault children and instill fear into the general populace. Every major city has at least one clown, but they've shown up in smaller cities too. It's almost like they organize themselves to spread fear to a large number of people.

A concerning fact that makes me the most angry is that these criminals who are armed with knives still managed to get themselves arrested. That sounds like a good thing-and it is- but the fact that police can arrest ARMED clowns but shoot unarmed blacks and others for small breaches of law like speeding is simply unacceptable. I mean sure, I'm biased because I hate clowns, but I think there's definitely a big problem in our society today. I would honestly feel so much more in danger in the presence of an armed clown than in the presence of an unarmed black man with his hands up on the side of a car but I mean that's just me.

These clowns are getting a pass from everyone just because they're dressed as clowns. What I hate about clowns is everything about their existence. There was a clown sighting on campus, and honestly I don't have time for a threat to my health when I already have midterms trying to do that exact same thing.

Honestly, I'll just be content if these clowns are just gone.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
