"Hate Me": In defense of TikTok

November 18th, 2019210 There are two types of people. Those who love TikTok and those who waste their every breath hating on it.  No one is above TikTok. It doesn’t make you more mature or of higher taste to look down on it. The world has not been separated childish goons on TikTok from real adults. People from every generation are enjoying the app....

All the hair and no cares

November 4th, 201975 Kids used to call me a gorilla. I have thick, dark hair, which is blessing on my head but a curse literally everywhere else. Even my 8th-grade boyfriend teasingly called me a gorilla. Yeah, we didn’t last long. In grade school, I couldn’t wait for my mom to start letting me shave. I envisioned my razor becoming my best friend and...

Can we knock it off with gender reveals?

October 29th, 201996 Gender reveals are out of control. Literally. In Iowa, a homemade pipe bomb meant to shoot off-colored powder went wrong when a piece of debris hit a family member in the head, killing her instantly.  Obviously, this incident was tragic and unintentional, but it was also avoidable. I’m of the opinion that the gender of a baby...

He doesn't like you, he's just a bully

October 22nd, 2019136 Almost every other day I get a text from my mom about something she finds super important, that’s really not important. However, her text the other day was actually alarming.  She sent me a picture of my 12-year-old sister's black and blue fingernail. Some little punk boy slammed her locker door onto her finger, and instead of...

Why you shouldn't care about AOC's hair

October 15th, 2019150 Apparently, digging up someone’s racist tweets is going too far, but digging up their haircut receipts is totally within reason.  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has recently come under fire for spending over $300 on a haircut. More specifically, conservative males have been shooting cries of hypocrisy toward...

Leave Greta Thunberg alone

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish 16-year-old climate change activist. She is also  climate change deniers’ new punching bag.  I’m not here to tell you why climate change is real, because I...

Should you go the distance?

September 23rd, 201922 Seventy-five percent of college students have been in a long distance relationship, according to a study conducted by Penn State. Now that’s a statistic I can believe. I think I’ve just about seen it all when it comes to long distance. You have the girl who transfers to be with her boyfriend, the couple that breaks up over...

All selfishness is not created equal

September 17th, 201960 Nobody wants to be selfish. Selfish is one of the lowest of blows, reserved for only the nastiest of nasty people. As a result, we strive to be the complete opposite.  We’re taught our whole lives to be selfless but we’re never taught its dangers. When I think of ‘selflessness,’ I picture Mother Teresa, good karma and a fat...

Why 'not all men' is trash

Sep 10th, 20199128
"Men are trash." It’s one of my favorite go-to lines. Your man is acting up? Men are trash. Some guy was following you too close for comfort? Trash. Another rape? Murder? Yeah, that’s a big...
