My Opinion on Abortion.

Abortion is not the enemy. Now, before you go on and undoubtedly get angry, read through this. There's a cute puppy video at the end! :)

I know, the most controversial topic imaginable... Or at least one of the top topics. This is what gets people all fired up for no reason. Some people have religious problems about abortion, and some moral problems about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to get a bunch of crap for this opinion, but YOUR OPINION DOES NOT MATTER!

What? What do I mean by that? Easy, I mean it doesn’t matter what you think, whether you’re pro choice or pro life, what I do with my body concerns only me. By drinking coke every day, I’m breaking someone’s religious rules. By eating bacon with my breakfast, I’m breaking another person’s religious rules. WHAT I DO WITH MY BODY DOES NOT CONCERN YOU!

Now, Obviously, I’m pro-choice. And there’s a reason for that. Whether or not I have an abortion or somebody else does, it doesn’t matter. Just because I’m pro choice, doesn’t mean I want an abortion. It doesn’t matter if I need an abortion. It doesn’t mean I’m pro-abortion. I’m pro choice, because women should have a choice on whether or not they, and only the individual woman, wants to go to term or not. It should not have anything to do with men, or religion. It is first, and foremost a woman’s choice and right.

The other reason I’m for abortion is because there are many reasons, outside of the normal “I don’t want to have a child” argument for abortion. The pregnancy is sometimes as a result of rape. And no child should be a reminder of a horrible act that happened to their mother. It would not be good for either the mother or child. Then, there’s also a health risk to some potential mothers. Would you really kill the mother in order to save the fetus, an unborn child? No, if they want kids, they can try again later, and, in my opinion, until it can breathe on its own, it’s not alive yet. And sometimes, the abortion is necessary because the fetus itself isn’t growing or is dead already, or it is going to be incredibly sick. Then, it’s akin to a mercy killing.

Don’t condemn the child or the parent without realizing the exact situation of the parents.


Oh, and before you say adoption is a good option. Sure, send your child to an orphanage or foster care, a system that is known for not being good, and is overcrowded. That's not a good option either.


Alright, now that you've read that, watch this cute puppy video, and relax your mind and forget your anger.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
