I Take Birth Control And It Should Not Bother You

Men use Viagra all the time and it does not affect me. Why should this affect you?

I Take Birth Control And It Should Not Bother You
NPR

I cannot believe it's 2017 and some men would still rather die than see women use birth control. Now before you see this article as a heavy leftwing detail complaining about conservative men, it's not. In fact, ideally, I identify with a more conservative point of view.

I'm not quite sure why Trump would repeal this part of Obamacare. Letting employers decide if they should cover birth control or not (based on their moral/religious values) is ridiculous. Let's be real, a majority of employers are men, and A vast amount of them don't see the problem with limiting the access to birth control for women since they don't have to take it.

But birth control is so muchmore than just for contraceptive use. Period cramps can get so bad to the point where women I know, have to leave class and throw up. It's also for regulating a flow (I know that word makes you guys uncomfortable), so we don't have to worry about bleeding through our clothes.

And finally, it's for Acne. Unlike guys, Acutane is not necessarily good for teenage girls because it's chemical potency does not react as well with our bodies as it does them. Birth Control is a safe, effective way of clearing up skin without having those harsh side effects.

Working class women are among the highest majority of birth control users, so making it more expensive and harder to access does not make sense. Why does it matter if they use birth control or not? Among anything, men should want it to be more accessible because it lowers abortion rates. I don't understand why employers can still have Viagra covered, but hate the idea of birth control being available for women.

My main argument is, the fact that it's not fair. Although Viagra does help those with medical conditions, it still overall promotes sexual intercourse for men. But something that can possibly promote sexual intercourse for women is looked down upon and needs to be repealed immediately.

It's not fair.

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.
