Get Your Gun And Run

Be smart. Be aware. Get your gun and run.

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.

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.
