Let's Stop "Share If You're A 90s Baby Without A Baby" Posts

If you think you are "better" by posting something about not being a parent at your age, you should think again.

When did you graduate high school? Was it more than two years ago? If so, can you do me a favor and stop shaming those who are now parents?

Why does it matter so much to you that you are a "90s baby without a baby?" Everyone lives their lives differently. No one knows where their life is going to take them so why make them feel bad for the direction they chose to go?

If you were in the situation of becoming a young parent, how would you feel if your social media timeline was always filled with posts discriminating against people your age having babies? How would you feel if after you announced your pregnancy people are sub-tweeting "Is it just me or is my timeline full of babies and engagements?" You'd probably feel like sh*t, right? Just because that's not what you want or you find it, for some odd reason, absolutely ridiculous to be pregnant, then do us all a favor and let it go. Is it so hard for you to just move on and let people live the lives they choose to live? Apparently, it is.

We need to stop these posts. These young parents are so happy with their families they are starting and they don't need any negativity in their lives. We should be uplifting them and encouraging them to stay strong through what life has brought them. This time a year ago, my best friend found out she was pregnant. It was a big shock to all of us but I never once thought she was making the wrong decision. If you could see the look on her face when we talked about the little man coming into the world it would touch your heart. She was (and obviously still is) so happy with the direction life took her. It may be a little more difficult and not the route she may have been expecting, but she is one of the best moms I have ever come across. Why would you want to put a miracle like this down?

Stop the "share if you're a 90s baby without a baby" posts because that statement doesn't make you a better person than the ones who are parents. My best friend's family, friends, my parents, and I are just as proud of her as we are everyone else who is accomplishing life milestones. So if you think you are "better" by posting something about not being a parent at your age then you should really think that over again because being a parent is the best gift life can give you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
