If You Think Wearing Camo Is More Manly Than Marrying A Strong Woman, It's Time To Grow Up

If You Think Wearing Camo Is More Manly Than Marrying A Strong Woman, It's Time To Grow Up

Yes, we know that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle are leaving the royal life and going on their own. They have decided to choose one another and no one is in any position to judge them. Especially when someone is going after Harry's masculinity, which might I add, has nothing to do with anything.

But of course, American blogger Michelle Malkin had a lot to say about Harry's so-called emasculation.

Prince Harry identifies as a man, this makes him manly. Period. Done. Conversation over.

Participating in the army or anything that has to do with the military does not make a person an alpha male. Sorry, but I'm not buying it. After 10 years of dedicated service, Prince Harry is no longer serving in the military, so it makes sense that he isn't rocking any camo. I would be concerned if he was walking around in camo head-to-toe 24/7. Would that not set off an alarm?

However, I think it's incredibly telling of his personality that "He continues to honor his service and promotes support for wounded men and women as they adapt to life post-injury." Now that's a man if I ever saw one.

Prince Harry finally found the woman of his dreams and decided to settle down. This isn't emasculation, this is maturity. He wanted to enter this new chapter in his life and guess what? He's just as alpha as he ever was **eye-roll**

I'd like to rid our patriarchal, misogynistic society of these harmful ideas of an "alpha male." As if this alpha is so much better than everyone else. There is no hierarchy of people, personalities, and behavior. We are all-powerful humans in our own way and our life decisions shouldn't influence how another views our masculinity or feminity.

I am not in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship to really share any insight, but, from what I can tell, he loves a strong, sexy lady. He isn't afraid to give her some spotlight and stand by her.

He doesn't have a fragile ego that, pardon my french, most "alpha males" have.

He knows who he is and that confidence is what we should really be talking about.

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.
