Sorry, But Serena Williams Is A Bad Role Model For Young Girls

I realize I'm probably going to get a lot of backlash for this, but Serena is terrible in every way possible.

Why don't we first begin with the fact that she claims to be a feminist and supporter of all women, but treats a lot of them like trash. If you watch videos of some of her matches, she is screaming at them, claiming they aren't doing their job, or they're terrible to look at, etc. I realize she does this to the men as well, and by no means am I saying that's ok, but someone who states she's a supporter of feminism should not be downgrading these women like this. I don't care who you think you are.

To continue, can we please just pay close attention to the fact that she threw her racket at the U.S. Open. A grown woman pitched a tantrum fit because she lost. All while still screaming at the poor people working the event. She wasn't getting her way so she pitched a fit. This is what 5-year-olds do, not grown adults. It's childish, and horrible, not to mention it completely took the spotlight away from the one who truly deserved it because of her win, Naomi Osaka.

Finally, she is a mother. I get it, she's an athlete and super competitive. That doesn't give you permission to act the way she acts. She has a child to be an example to, though. When she's over there pitching fits, trying to get her way when she clearly hasn't earned it, what example does that set for her child? What example does that set for all children?? A terrible one. Be the example you should be for your child and quit crying because you lost.

If you disagree with my opinions, you're wrong, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

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.
