37 Post Catcalling Thoughts
Aleksandria Griesel

Most people have either been the subject of a catcall, or have been around to witness it. If you ever had to walked through Hempstead or crossed the turnpike, you've probably been cat called. Although individuals have been catcalled for years, it is still annoying. These are just some of the thoughts post-catcalling:

1. Ugh again.

2. Seriously, why are you doing this? I'm in a sweatshirt right now.

3. Do you talk to your mom like that?

4. Or your sister?

5. Do you think this will work?

6. No one will ever just jump in car with you.

7. No one likes it.

8. You seem like a scrub.

9. No one can tell the difference if you're being a threat or not.

10. I only see a threat when you do it.

11. Or that you’re a scrub.

12. Just back off.

13. I will mace you.

14. It isn’t a compliment.

15. You just seem like a guy who lonely.

16. Plus, do you think I don’t know I look good?

17. Man, I know I look good.

18. You are like the telemarketers of the streets.

19. No one wants to hear from them either.

20. You don’t know what diseases I could have.

21. I mean-- I don’t have any, I’m not the idiot here.

22. It sucks when they do it while your driving.

23. I don’t want to look over and see a guy staring at me.

24. I’m driving, don’t distract me.

25. I don’t want to feel unsafe because of you.

26. Especially when I’m heading to class.

27. I don’t want to begin my day like that.

28. I wish one day I could go from point A to point B without being harassed.

29. No one is dressing for you.

30. I didn’t wake up and think “I want to be cat called by random people all day so ill wear this.”

31. I’m dressing for me, and only me.

32. It sucks that before I go anywhere I have to ask myself if this will provoke someone.

33. No one should have to do that.

34. "If your dress like a slut, you should expect it."

35. But no one should be shamed for the way they choose to dress.

36. Dammit.

37. It happened again.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
