Here's to You, Tomi Lahren

I'm curious as to your "final thoughts" on this one, dear.

Here's to You, Tomi Lahren

Tomi Lahren, I want to ask you a question. A few questions, for that matter. You seem educated, so I’m sure you’re familiar with the main questions that we ask in the world.

Who, what, when, where, and why-––I'm curious as to your answers.

WHO decided that it was up to you to speak to the public of the world in the manner that you do? No, no, speak is the wrong word. That’s not what you do, is it? See, you’re given a microphone that’s clipped to the top of the pretty dress that you’re wearing that’s plenty close to your mouth but you still feel the need to yell. Was that your idea, Tomi? Are you able to take responsibility for your actions and how you present yourself? Who did this to you, Tomi? Or is it just you?

WHAT makes you think that your words are going to be okay? Do you speak in the moment, make it up right there on the spot or do you let your words stew around in your mind to make it seem as scary and negative as possible? What is it that makes you so angry, Tomi? Do you feel betrayed by the people that are citizens of this country? While you feel betrayed by some, they probably feel betrayed too. Some feel the need to sit or kneel during the national anthem not because they’re gay, lesbian, black, white, but because the country that they’re living in, the country that once stood behind them seems to be backing away from what they stand for. So what is it that you feel Tomi? Or should I just watch another three minute video?

WHEN was it that you decided that this is what you wanted to do? When did you decide that instead of adding positive opinions and light to the republican party, you would spread hate and the most negative side of things that you could possibly find? Was it when you read all the positive responses you were getting from people? It’s kind of an interesting cycle, isn’t it? Negativity gains comments that are filled with positivity. Does it make you feel good, Tomi?

WHERE in your life were you when you realized that this is who you are? Has that happened yet, Tomi? Have you really decided that you want to be the woman who exudes negative energy through her teeth and out the speaker of my iPhone? Where were you, Tomi? Where are you now? Is this really you?

WHY. Why, Tomi? Why would you do this, of all things? You do debate well, I will give you that my dear. You could have been a lawyer defending someone or saving someone from something. You could have done so much instead of this. Why do you feel as though this is what you were meant to do? Why do you hate so much and so many people? Why are you the way you are? I suppose that’s an unfair question for me to ask, but then again you’re all about unfair questions, aren’t you?

So here’s to you, Tomi Lahren. Thank you for confirming what I already knew. There is hate behind beauty, there is still work that still needs to be done in this country, and that I am not a republican. Those are my final thoughts.

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.
