Why I Hate People Who Vape

I literally hate people that vape. Honestly, I’d rather see you smoking a cigarette because at least there is a cool factor associated with it.

Have you ever seen the people who vape? They’re the sweaty guys that walk around malls in wife-beaters and may be suffering from pre-mature balding. They’re the women who wear brightly colored animal print pregnancy tops and heeled flip-flops. They're the boys at your gym with giant shoulder tattoos trying to compensate for being irrelevant in high school. People that vape are like vegetarians, all they want to do is tell you about how vaping saved their lives. These are not the people you want in your life.

First off, there is nothing cool about vaping. You’re not smoking weed, you’re not smoking a cigarette; you’re smoking chemical air out of an ugly plastic tube you probably bought at a stand in the mall.

Many studies have shown that vaping is not actually healthier and contains just as many unknown chemicals as cigarettes do. Vape websites even admit that vaping is not healthier. FYI -- you haven’t stopped smoking, you’re just inhaling different chemicals. If you’re not strong enough to quit cigarette smoking all together, then don’t think you're doing yourself a favor by smoking a vape.

Then there is the argument that vaping saves so much money, to which I say, quitting and chewing Nicorette gum for a year is even cheaper in the end.

Many e-cigarette websites also credited vaping to being more sociable. Wrong. Have you ever been to a club and seen a group of people happily enjoying life while vaping? No! Have you ever been out to dinner and seen a group of important businessmen making a deal over Vapes? No! There is nothing social about it because no one is going to want to hang out with you if you smoke an e-cig. I would rather be covered in three layers of cigarette smoke than talk to someone about to put a vape pen in their mouth.

As you can see, there is literally no benefit to vaping unless you want to lower your social status. I appreciate vaping for being better for the environment and not causing secondhand smoke, but I do not appreciate having secondhand embarrassment from a plastic e-cigarette hanging out of your mouth. You’re not doing your body a favor, so might as well do society a favor and stop looking like a major douche bag.

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.
