So as my last post I kind of wanted to write I guess what would be considered a reflection of some shape or form. There ultimately won’t be a general topic or subject heading, I honestly don’t know I’m going to title this…ramblings of nostalgic senior? I actually kind of like it but more to […]
Read More Ramblings of a Nostalgic SeniorI don’t know if its the warm weather or the abundance of pollen plaguing the air but I can’t help but think about the summer which in turn makes me think of swimsuit season. UGH the dreaded words, the thoughts of self-loathing, the images of women that are prettier than you, skinnier than you and […]

Overall she talks about the struggle women face with balancing feminism and femininity. Feminism being the mentality of standing up for yourself and claiming your right to equality; refusing to be called sweetheart or honey. Femininity being the defining factor […]
Read More The Female ThingSo we’ve all seen those videos on television that feature starving kids in Africa, skin and bones, sunken cheeks and even with flies in their eyes. Don’t get me started on the cheesy Sarah McLachlan songs in the background or maybe that’s the SPCA advertisements of injured animals but that’s besides the point. I will […]
Read More Money Can’t Buy HappinessHappy Women’s History Month!!! I meant this to be my link round up but here it is instead! I was elated when I stumbled across this wonderful rendition of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance about women’s suffrage on youtube. I don’t know about everyone else but I love Lady Gaga but some of her song’s don’t […]
Read More Quick HIt: Bad RomanceLast night I saw that my friend had shared a photo that caught my eye and it turned out to be an informational on rape prevention. Here is the link that hopefully you are able to open: http://on.fb.me/XylXFU If it doesn’t work it is basically a post offering advice on how to avoid sexual assault […]
Read More Quick Hit: Rape…Prevention or Reinforcement?I first started taking birth control my senior year of high school, which would mean that I have been on it for almost 5 years. It wasn’t until I took a course on women’s health issues my spring semester of my junior year, that I gathered a complete knowledge of exactly what birth control does […]
