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!

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.
