With Women's Rights Under Seige, Let's Make Ella Vos' 'YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME' Our National Anthem

Growing up as a woman in this generation has never been an easy task. Republicans are trying to take away all rights to control a woman's body. With Ella Vos' song, this is my personal opinion in response to the anti-abortion act.

"You don't know what you talk about, It's all lies that come out your mouth" 

A couple of days ago, I read some quotes from a couple of Republicans that were trending in all forms of my social media. "Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape it is something that God intended to happen." Why the hell are we involving God with politics in the first place? NO. GOD did not intend for rape to happen. Rape is a human act done by our nasty and vulgar human beings. Life does not begin in a horrible situation, it is not a life that begins; it is a life that is ended when a human commits when he rapes her. She could be 10 or 30 years old, but GOD did not intend for rape to happen, and that "life" shouldn't be there in the first place. Being pro-life doesn't make society give a s**t about what happens to both that "life" and the victims after birth. These are the most ignorant words I have ever read from someone so "important" and "educated" this man claims to be.

"This is my body, this is my war"

The most absurd thing about it is that these laws against women rights are all written down and passed down by MEN. Since when have these men ever gotten raped? Since when have they given birth? "If a woman has the right to abortion, why shouldn't a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman, At least the rapist's pursuit of sexual freedom doesn't in most cases result in anyone's death." WHAT THE HELL did I just read? If a woman has the right to abortion it's only because it's her body and her war, and her choice. This man that spoke these words that believes himself to be superior isn't going to carry this fetus in his womb, he doesn't even have a uterus in the first place. Rape IS NOT the pursuit of sexual freedom, rape is a sexual assault involving sexual intercourse against the person's consent. A man should not use any strength to write laws about a woman's body, because it is not his war, nor his uterus.

"Say what you're gonna say, I don't care anyways."

By making abortion illegal, they are only taking away the SAFE option to a procedure. It doesn't make it less frequent or for it to disappear, it only makes the procedure more dangerous because believe it or not abortions will continue to occur. These women are going to dangerously travel to other countries and risk their life because their land of freedom banned it.

"Why the hell should you decide? You don't know about everything going on inside." 

A woman is born out of a powerful woman that gives birth to her and all human beings. A woman isn't just here to give birth to human beings. A woman should have and lead a life of her own choice, just like these men. A woman should hold the power to create the type of life she wants. Keep your politics out of the woman's uterus.

You don't know about me...

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
