Why is it okay to write it in an article but not talk about it in person?

18 Things That Shouldn't Be Socially Acceptable
dissectingjesus.com

Why is it okay...

1. To ask a girl why she is so skinny but not why she is so fat.

Body shaming. It goes both ways. Sometimes, the skinny ones don't want to be that way and vice versa.

2. To not look people in the eye anymore.

If they do, will they suck your soul out? No. Be human, and interact please.

3. To disrespect someone that is serving you.

Servers, cashiers, baristas. We are people too. This is our living right now. Please respect us as we have done to you.

4. To be rude to those who are younger than you.

Age is but a number. The new generation just might be the nicest and most innovative people you meet.

5. To be rude to those who are older than you.

They have fought countless times for you to be here. Appreciate them. Thank them. Respect them.

6. To cut someone out of your life but the second they do it to you it's the end of the world.

The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

7. To be unforgiving.

You're going to live with this the rest of your life whether you like it or not.

8. To be unforgiving and not feel terrible about it.

Heartless. I pray for you.

9. To text and not talk on the phone.

Does she even know what your voice sounds like? Do you know hers?

10. To communicate through your phones but not in person.

Do you even know how tall she is? What she looks like? If she wears perfume? Is it Photoshop, makeup, or is she actually perfect?

GROW A PAIR AND ASK HER OUT. Maybe you could even look her in the eyes.

11. When a girl hits a boy but not when a boy hits a girl.

Abuse goes both ways. If a woman is abusing a man, she should be locked up. If a man is abusing a woman, he should be too. There's no in between.

12. To hook up with people, but as soon as you fall for that person, you're "whipped."

It's not bad to be "whipped." In fact, being in a relationship is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm not being held back.

13. To let a boy sleep around, but when a girl does it, she's a wh*re.

Every man makes his own decisions. Every girl does so as well. There's no difference in us other than some testosterone, estrogen, and a chromosome.

14. To release movies about bad cops, violent use of guns, criminals, etc. but it's not okay to post a video about the good that cops can do, the harm that guns can prevent, and the humans that criminals are.

I don't care what entertains you. Murder shouldn't be one of them. Racism shouldn't be one of them. Violence shouldn't be one of them. Has anyone heard of comedy?

15. To be a follower and not a leader.

What happened to creating a tribe? Why do we just join one now? Let's re-charter.

16. To be drunk every weekend, but when you're not then you're labeled the prude.

I'd rather remember my Saturday evenings with good friends. I'd rather not get sick every Sunday morning. I'd rather enjoy my glass of wine, savor it, and not have it backfire on me.

17. For a man to look but a woman cannot.

Need I say more?

18. For a man to not help a woman anymore.

It's not cool to make her walk through a puddle. It's not cool to not open her door. It's not cool to not pay for her candy at the movie theater. Be a gentleman. Hold her hand. Hold her heart.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
