Halsey Is An Icon Of Our Time And She Doesn't Deserve The Hate She Gets

Halsey. You know the name. You know the voice and the endless hit songs. Halsey is an icon of our time, even if people don't want to accept it. It seems to me that people are eager to pile on the negativity when it comes to Halsey. Anything she does, people are quick with their rebuttals and comments of disapproval. I never understand this. Halsey struggles with many things, yet still decides to give her all in whatever she is doing.

Halsey is a badass on more than one level. She suffers from endometriosis. This is a disorder in which a tissue that normally lines within the uterus, grows on the outside. This disorder can be debilitating. Yet, Halsey performs with severe pain. She even once gave a performance while she was having a miscarriage, but she didn't know it. Try to think if you would continue giving a performance while going through something like that.

Halsey is a fighter for the empowerment of women, people of color, and the LGBT+ community. Nightmare is her latest single and it talks about body dysphoria issues and standing up as yourself against people who don't want you to be who you are. Halsey is a mixed woman. She stands behind all people of color and fights for their empowerment. She uses her platform to speak out against injustices of all kinds of people.

Also, Halsey is the first western artist to have a feature on a BTS album. She went out of her way to work with a Korean pop group because she knows her platform would give them more traction in the US, and she feels they deserve all the attention in the world.

A lot of people feel they are entitled to have their opinion on Halsey's personal life. They feel like what she does in private is also meant for their eyes. This happens with a lot of celebrities. The reason people dislike Halsey is because of things she said in 2012 when she was 18 years old. They hate her for doing, and saying, the exact same things they did. These people are hypocrites, and that's just a fact.

Halsey is an iconic woman. She battles many things in her every day life, yet continues to perform, write, and meet fans. She stands up for injustices against any innocent person. And she has an amazing talent. For once, we need to cut her some slack and let Halsey grow into the person she is meant to be. We need to let her become the icon she was born to be.

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.
