The Downfall Of The Upcoming Generation

It's not getting any better.

The Downfall Of The Upcoming Generation
Raven Reflections

The social uprising in today's society has caused men to be raised without chivalry and children to be fed garbage. I know that obesity and chivalry are on two different ends of the spectrum, but with each one there are rising consequences. I sincerely feel sorry for the upcoming generation because the obesity rates are only rising and the sea of so called "fish" are slowly running out of water.

I really want to begin with the obesity rates, especially in children. This is a topic that I have always been heavily influenced by and I don't think others know how detrimental it is. I believe that it starts with the parents. The amount of laziness that is embarked on by the parents and the children is absurd. Parents are feeding their children food that has no nutritional value. Parents allow their children to be engulfed with Ipad games, TV shows and video games, so they are basically teaching them how to be lazy. If you take part in that then good job, you are raising your child how not to succeed in life. Did you know that by 2030 nearly half of Americans are predicted to be obese? That's ridiculous! There are so many resources that are available, so stop making excuses and save your child's confidence.

Now for the future ladies in the upcoming generation, I just feel sorry for you gals. What is it with men? Even in my day and age, men act as if the women are supposed to ask the men out. Since when did it become so difficult to ask a girl out for lunch? Men resort to Facebook messenger or Snapchat to send a message. Those resources were not available back in the day and somehow they managed, so I think you fellows can manage as well. Men are intimidated by successful women who have confidence. Isn't that the perfect woman, though? You can forget about finding a man that is well built because the ones that are, are douchey. It's like a never ending cycle of a no win situation. Sometimes I have to just sit back and laugh because men actually think that these standards are okay. And no, your grunting and posing in the gym is not attractive.

Ladies, keep your head held high and your standards held higher. In a sea of douche bags, there is one not so douche bag. Fellas, chivalry is not dead so stop acting like it is. And parents, please stop feeding your kids garbage. This is our next generation, so let's make it great.

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.
