Get Your Gun And Run
Lexis Twentier

Growing up, females are constantly reminded to defend themselves. When they are old enough, a brother, father, uncle, or grandpa takes us out to shoot guns. When we turn 21, we're told to get a permit to carry. But why just females? We is it that females are the only ones told to learn how to defend themselves? Why is it that guys are never told "learn how to defend yourself" or "go buy a gun and get a permit to carry when you are 21?" Why?

There are males out there that will just as easily attack another male instead of a female. Protect yourself, guys. What happens when you're walking alone at night and 2 or 3 strong, muscular, mean guys stop you? You can try to fight them, but it may not end well if it's a 3-1 situation. Protect yourself. It doesn't make you any less of a man if you're a concealed carrier. Actually, I can assure you that us females will feel safer knowing you have a gun if we go out or are just walking or driving down the world.

Males aren't the only people that attack in groups. Reality check, females travel in groups, too. Females are mean and violent, too. Females are attackers and perpetrators, too. Protect yourselves, guys. If you're a permitted carrier and 3 or 4 women come up behind you when you're alone and begin to attack you, what are you going to do? Sure, once again, you can fight them, but it will be hard in a 4-1 scenario. Protect yourself, carry a gun. Sure, maybe it's unethical to shoot a woman, but it's not illegal if it's in self-defense. I'm not saying you need to try to kill every male or female in your sight, I'm just saying it's better safe than sorry. Females are attackers, too, remember that.

If you're 21, protect yourself. Make yourself a concealed carrier. Practice shooting. Learn how to use a small gun that you can easily hide. Be smart. Be aware. Get your gun and run.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
