Why We Need To Talk About Kim Kardashian's Robbery

On October 3rd, Kim Kardashian-West was robbed of $10 million dollars worth of jewelry in her Paris apartment. Kim was bound, gagged, and held at gunpoint. This is an incredibly terrible act, and no one should ever go through what she went through. Unfortunately, this happens every day to many unsuspecting victims.

The sad thing is because she's rich she apparently deserved it. That's the problem with the world; a woman gets robbed, but because she's rich or they hate the family, people automatically jump the gun and say she deserved it or she's faking it.

According to multiple sources, Kim said she feared she was going to be raped. I've seen so many jokes about it saying she wouldn't mind, etc. She deserves to be raped? What kind of sane person thinks that? This is a prime example of rape culture at its finest. A woman who has donated millions of dollars a year, an active feminist, a loving mother, wife, and daughter, just deserves to get raped? It's disgusting that we think this way. It doesn't matter that she's all of those things I've stated before; she's a woman first and foremost. She did not deserve this.

Kim has been in the spotlight almost every day for a long time. To have her almost completely disappear from the spotlight, it kind of shows that she has some emotional damage as a reaction to the crime. She's been seen holding her daughter, North, wearing baggy clothes. If you know Kim, you know this is strange for her.

It's time to stop victim blaming Kim and all other victims. If we want to better ourselves as a nation, it's time to care more about the victim. The victim is never to blame.

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.
