Why I'm Not Okay With The "Cot Dammit Elizabeth" Snapchats

Although funny, I do not like these snapchats for a reason.

Why I'm Not Okay With The "Cot Dammit Elizabeth" Snapchats

In the last couple of days, social media has been blowing up with the Elizabeth snapchats. Everyone has been sharing these videos of a boyfriend that is trying to help his girlfriend diet and lose weight. If you haven't seen these videos at all, check them out below.


Now, I know every couple, let alone every relationship, is different. I know people show affection in different ways, and people also motivate others differently as well. To make a long story short, I know everyone has their own way of doing things that depend on their personality. Therefore, I shouldn't be getting so upset at these videos.

But I am.

"We got to get rid of that little gut you have."

"You are one nugget away from getting zero likes on your next Instagram post."

"Pick up your sandals and move those little oompa-loompa feet."

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want my boyfriend yelling those things at me, especially the second one. In fact, I know he wouldn't even think about saying them. He would encourage me, not belittle me and the rest of my body features.

I know what you may be thinking. "These are only two of the several videos that are out there, that doesn't define their relationship, I'm sure he isn't that bad, calm down Jordan."

You are right. I don't know their relationship and whether or not the guy jokes around 95% of the time or if he's sarcastic. Maybe his girlfriend doesn't take what he says seriously because she knows he's kidding and/or she has thick skin. Or maybe he realized what he said and apologized after the fact. Who knows? There are times where I do think he's being mean and a little emotionally abusive to his girlfriend, specifically the gut comment and the Instagram comment. I mean, who says that to their significant other? It's mean, no matter which way you cut the cake. I would know what's emotionally abusive because I've been there before. My ex never helped me lose weight or diet, but he did show me over time how much words can hurt. That's why I'm not okay with these snapchats; this guy is saying mean things that may be harmless and "funny" to him but harmful to her self-esteem and self image.

To any male reading this, think about what you say when you're trying to help your girlfriend out, especially when it comes to her body. Some females are very sensitive about their body image, and you need to keep that in mind so you can lift her up instead of bringing her down. They'll appreciate it more than you think.

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.
