Don't Throw Shade

Ladies, I am just going to throw a scenario at you really quick and I need you to be completely honest about how you would react. Matter of fact, the true question is how would you truly FEEL? So you are walking with your significant other and you see them consistently glancing at the female who just passed, will you have a feeling of anger, discomfort, jealousy, or intimidation? It is expected and routine for the female to get a little furious, and feel a little uncomfortable. However, what most people don’t know but notice is that one of the most common feeling is intimidation. Unfortunately, intimidation is an exceptionally usual and daily feeling within females, especially in this generation.

Intimidation is a huge factor to the drama, misconceptions, and hatred found in Wesleyan, cities, high schools, and really any and everywhere. Like usually, people judge you by what they see and not the qualities and characteristics you possess. When I say people, I am referring to the great number of females who engage in this petty intimidation mess. This feeling is expressed frequently and freely without the scenario daily (very too often).

Instead of complimenting, commending, and acknowledging another females’ pulchritudinous appearance we tend to judge, degrade, offend, and hate on them. Why is this? Clearly, the reason behind this is not because of confrontations, arguments, and true beef but because they are intimidated by the others’ existence. Once they illustrate these behaviors, the rate of rumors, stress, fights, and irrelevant drama tends to elevate excessively. Arbitrarily, this particular folly spreads from the hater to the haters’ friends and generates a more massive crowd. All that animosity and genuine distaste is exposed for no reasonable reason, but simply because you feel some type of way about something that another person cannot control. Sounds ridiculous once you look at it like this huh? I know it does, but it is this simple and sad.

As females, we will never be able to unite happily, until we get over this “hating” pattern. If we practice embracing, accepting, and encouraging the beauty of one another, we will promote positivity and reduce the chances of drama. DO NOT HATE ON THE NEXT FEMALE BECAUSE OF QUALITIES YOU DON’T HAVE OR WISH YOU HAD MORE OF. TRY TO ADD LIGHT TO ONE’S BEAUTY AND NOT THROW SHADE!!!!!! WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL WHETHER ONE WANTS TO ADMIT IT OR NOT!

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.
