When Did It Become Cool?

When did it become cool to be disrespectful to your family and people who are older than you?

We can all agree that there are people in the world that do not deserve our respect. But there are a lot more people who do deserve our respect. Walking in today's society you see kids that are entitled. By that I mean they feel as though they deserve something without actually earning it. So why is this generation of children today so entitled? We don't deserve any of the respect we have been given, but yet it is given to us anyway. Regardless of how we have been treated, we choose to show a lack of respect for our elders, men and woman who have served our country, and even our families.

When did it become cool to compromise your faith?

Your faith is one thing in life that cannot be taken from you. So why is the one thing that is most easily given up?

When did it become cool to pretend you don't care about someone?

We all know that too cool for you guy/girl that refuses to give you the time of day but as soon as you move on they get mad that you didn't give them a chance. Treating people we care about as less than what they deserve has become a common theme. It would be less complicated and less stressful to be upfront with the feelings you have with people. Miss communications could be avoided and we could live in less drama, wouldn't that be nice?

When did it become cool to be unfaithful in relationships?

Commitment. Commitment is a word that most shy away from. Why is it encouraged to have "side chicks" and why as women are you letting people treat your relationships with so little value? Relationships should be something that is formed from more than just boredom loneliness.

When did it become cool to be "easy"?

Why isn't it more of an attractive quality to find someone who is striving for more than a one night stand? Who genuinely cares for you and for your well-being as a person and no matter what happens will be by your side.

When did it become cool to hurt someone through a computer screen?

In a society where social media is so big when did people start catfishing one another or to say hurtful things while hiding behind a small screen? Cyberbullying is a ridiculous thought, think about it someone sees a photo or an opinion that doesn't please them and they just feel the need to push people to limits that could reach a level where they do not want to exist amongst people. That's completely uncalled for.

Why do you strive to be cool over being a good person?

Good things happen to good people.

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.
