It Should Go Without Saying, But You Shouldn't Find Ted Bundy And Other Killers Attractive

We all have bad taste sometimes but this could really be deathly.

It Should Go Without Saying, But You Shouldn't Find Ted Bundy And Other Killers Attractive

Ted Bundy. America is absolutely losing its mind over one of its most famous serial killers. He struck in the 70's killing approximately 30 women but alluding to the fact that he killed closer to 100. The man terrorized California, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and finally Florida for years before finally coming to his death.

Many people who knew him thought he was charming and attractive and for the time period, he was! However, this does not excuse people finding him attractive now. The day before his execution he admitted to all the kidnapping, murders, and rapes but people are still finding him attractive? He is a monster and should only be viewed that way.

Ted Bundy and many other serial killers are psychopaths. That means they thrive on recognition and hurting others when we romanticize these behaviors and turn them into movies with Zac Efron, we encourage more psychopaths to come out of hiding.

A perfect example of this phenomenon is school shootings. Not to get into specifics, but one time someone killed some kids at a school. Another person saw this and was inspired to do something worse so they killed more kids at a different school. This leads to the tragedies we see almost every month in America, and it leads to kids in schools dying.

Now, this isn't to say a crime documentary is a bad thing, it helps us learn from the past and it keeps history from repeating itself. This can even prevent future deaths or rapes, just by showing you can't trust a random cute guy at the lake asking you for help. It teaches us to be safer, unfortunately at the cost of losing others.

All in all, there's a lesson to be learned, not all yellow VW Bugs are safe. Also, don't judge an attractive book by its cover, not everyone that is pretty is gold. Don't let this stop you from going on dates with cuties though, go live your best life, just maybe stay away from strangers.

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.
