The recent attacks on Germany, Turkey, and Coptic Orthodox Churches shows that we have a growing problem. Radical Islamic extremism is destroying the Middle East, and what is happening to children in Yemen is a disgrace. Lots of countries have become war zones in the Middle East due to disagreements on religion, peace, and land. Right now we are seeing almost a genocide going on. Even people in Nigeria and other countries in Africa, like Eritrea are facing threats from the government or from tribes such as Boko Haram. Even since the Armenian genocide less than 100 years ago, people are still facing genocide in the Middle East. Children and minority religious groups such as Chaldeans, Copts, Yazidi, and Eritrean Christians have it the worst.

It isn't the Middle East that is being affected by this violence. Utilitarian and Nihilistic Communist philosophy in North Korea are causing a massive genocide as well. Slightly over a million people died as political prisoners, in less than two decades. This following some of the biggest genocides of the 20s centuries related to communist dictatorship. Places like North Korea or communist Laos have some of the most obvious and worst political propaganda seen. They own the media and use it to portray themselves as if they were some deity status to the people they are oppressing. We can also not forget the extreme censorship, surveillance, and human rights violations that go on.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
