So here's the deal... We need to get our stuff together. I don't care who you support, why you support them or your basis to engender hate, but it needs to stop. Why must everything be a divide? Furthermore, why do we feel the need to disrespect the place that we call home? Let me tell you one thing, these little riots and marches will do nothing. They will accomplish nothing. I am a woman, yes, but do I feel the need to go and make a mockery of the United States and protest all the rights that women don't have, but men supposedly do? No. We have all the same rights as men. We made it... there is no need to be wearing vulgar costumes and wasting your breath. Even more infuriating-- the burning of our flag. How disrespectful could you be to burn a flag that men and women are out fighting for? I think it's plain and simple-- if you don't like it, leave. I get you have freedom of speech, and blah blah blah, but this is a step further than that. When you disrespect that flag, you disrespect the families whose baby didn't come home from overseas. The veteran in the wheelchair without legs-- you are invalidating his sacrifice for you to even have the right to do that. I'm sorry, America, but it has gone too far. We are better than this, and we need to get a grip. God is not going to let us fail, He has our back. Trust in him, and I guarantee we will succeed in anything we do, big or small.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
