A Response To 'Forget The Girl Who Broke Girl Code's Cardinal Rule And Remember Who The Victim Is'

Isn't he at fault too?

I recently came across two of Odyssey's articles on my Facebook feed. The first, a girl who broke girl code's biggest rule, never take another girl's man. The second, a response from a girl who has been on the other side of the game.

So to the girl who's been on the other side of the game, here's what you should know:

It's as much his fault as it is hers.

You claiming she's the reason girls can't trust each other shouldn't even be a plausible reason.

The reason why girls won't trust each other is because of guys like the one she 'stole.' Why do we, as women, tend to put the blame on each other, rather than on the guy?

He should have known better. If he truly loved his ex-girlfriend, he should have known that cheating isn't alright.

Yes, I understand that you have been on the other side, and you have been cheated on, but did you ever take a moment, out of your anger and despise for the girl, and actually put some blame on him too? Did you ever shame him as much as you are shaming these other girls?

When we don't shame men for cheating, it sets the idea that cheating is OK and acceptable, when in actuality, it isn't.

Instead of putting all of your energy into shaming one person, why not put equal blame both?

I'm in no way condoning getting involved with anyone in a relationship, I'm simply tired of the double standards of society. I'm tired of women going against each other, while the guy walks away with no consequences of his actions. I'm tired of women like you preaching against other women.

If a woman cheats, she is shunned and called every degrading name under the sun, when a man cheats, everyone turns the other cheek. Can we stop these double standards?

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
