{College Files} I’m Single, Get Over It!

” When night comes and you are on your own, you can say I chose to be alone. ”

Every once and awhile I find a post that I never published. Either I was too afraid, too busy, or just too lame to want to published these gems. Lucky for you (and me) I got over that, so here it is, yet another college post – this one from my senior year. 

For the past four years I have been a very single girl. With my career taking off, school consuming my life, and family creeping in every once in a while…I just have never had time. Nor was I all that interested.

After seeing so many of my idols go dateless, or even never get married…it never actually occurred to me that I would ever need someone to be happy. And I still feel that way.

I have been lucky enough to have many strong female role models in my life. But unfortunately a lot of those females let their careers take a back seat to families and love. After seeing a high-powered career woman give up everything for a man, it made me realize that I could and would never change my hopes and dreams for someone else. ever.

So while I’m progressing, at a very fast rate, through my last semester of college I’ve come to terms with the fact that I have been in a very serious and monogamous relationship for the past four years. I’ve been in a relationship with my career. We have a good thing going on and I don’t think I want to ruin it.

We trust each other, give each other little pick me ups when the other is down. PLUS my career never rags on me for not shaving my legs.

I know that people always say it’s lonely when you get to the top, and I’ll be disappointed that I didn’t find love. But after losing so many people who I have loved, the idea of losing someone else just isn’t worth the pain.

So, Sorry guys…but I’m single, and you will have to be pretty amazing (or Ryan Gosling) in order to change that.

I Would’ve Eaten the Apple too

Since this was my last semester at school I decided to take a random selection of courses. One of those being sociology 101. Not really sure what I was getting myself into, I braced myself for learning about societies and how people function, or fail to function, in them.

I was not, however, prepared for a lecture on how women suck and deserve this treatment “because Eve (from Adam and Eve) had a small little bite of an apple.”

Maybe home girl was hungry, maybe home girl wanted to gain some knowledge. Not to mention I think we all know how curious we get if when told don’t do that. And I think we all know when someone says “Don’t touch the red button” we’re going to touch the red button.

It’s not like Eve forced Adam to eat the apple, she merely suggested to him that it was delicious and gave her some insight. It’s not her fault that God wanted to make sure he was the only one who had knowledge and wanted to make sure women stayed uneducated. Just sayin‘.

I understand this was in long long ago times (the exact date, I’m not quite so sure of), what I don’t understand is why people are using this as a reason for underpaying women, and treating them like crap. Because, let’s be real..there is no reason for that shit (pardon my language readers) to be happening.

If you are going to blame some chick eating an apple (I know but she wasn’t supposed to blah blah blah) for giving women the ability to birth children (aka create life..no big) and call it a bad thing. Then I’m sorry but you are just dumb.

Please realize I do respect your religions. I just don’t think it should have any affect in the way people treat me. I also don’t feel that men are superior in any way shape or form. Basically, women kick ass. And if you can’t handle that feel free to leave America and join the middle east.

Feminists of BSU (and the blogosphere) Unite!

(This post is a series for Social Media Week at BSU, Today’s theme is Community)

So, as of lately, I’ve become..well kind of a bit of a feminist. and by a bit I mean a lot. Honestly,  I don’t know why I was so blind for so long! Women rock (I mean that in the most heterosexual way possible)! We are awesome…not only are we smart, responsible, willing to work hard to get ahead, have smokin’ bods (forget body image problems…we are all beautiful), and we can kick butt at sports.

So why is there all of this hate towards women? We get picked last in dodge ball, are constantly being put down by our counter parts, being paid less than our counter parts (for the same freakin’ job), and don’t even get me started on how women are constantly putting themselves down (thank you fashion industry for that one.)

Let’s be real here, women rule the world. Who is responsible for the population…oh that’s right women. We carry your ass around with us for 9 months, and what do we get? Lower pay because of it.

At BSU, 60(ish)% of its students are female. 60(ish)-freakin-%. That means only 40% are male. Yet, who is getting the special treatment? Who is still getting the jobs? men…if someone could please explain this to me that would be fantastic!

It astounds me to think some Professors (I’ve seen it in my classes) still look at all women as little house wives and not educated people who are trying to gain more knowledge. At BSU I have actually had a professor dismiss my answer (and most girls in the class), but then applaud when a minute later a male student says the same answer, the same way.

Hi, it’s the 21st century. Women have the choice of where they want their lives to go. And no one, (read: NO ONE) has the power to tell us what we can and can’t do. Take life and embrace it for all it’s worth. Do everything you can to stand up for yourself, don’t let men or other women put you down! Especially in a scholarly community like this one where everyone should be treated fairly.

Well DMF, it seems like that isn’t the case. I’m doing my part to help change this, what are you doing?

This Guy, Won’t be Getting Any “Pie”!

I’m sure most of you internet savvy readers are aware of the email that is spreading like wild-fire around popular blogs. And if you are not, head over to Jezebel to check it out. But as a warning it is another degrading and disgusting excuse of a damaged man rambling about what he really wishes his college experience had been like.

Yes, I am a little bitter about the email. No I will not apologize for any attacks I plan on making about the author of that email. Now, let us begin with some of my favorite parts of the email:

“Let’s be honest, if it isn’t raw it isn’t real. Drawbacks of this philosophy are that you may have to visit the clinic more often than not, but a quick penicillin shot really isn’t that bad (trust me).”

Well first off, I’m so glad he is concerned about pregnancy. Because obviously that should be at the top of someones mind. Also, it is  refreshing to see how he cares about women’s health. Oh wait, he doesn’t do that…at all. Instead this frat boy is only concerned about scoring some “pie.” Oh if you haven’t read it yet “pie” is what he refers to the vagina as. Super romantic.

But then again a man who says this:

“Note: I will refer to females as “targets”. They aren’t actual people like us men. Consequently, giving them a certain name or distinction is pointless.”

Probably doesn’t care too much about the feelings of women. I really hope this guy has some sort of mental issue going on. I just can not see any other reason to talk about another human being like this. It’s disgusting.

The best part is that this man has slept with over 50 women! 50 women lined up to let this guy stick it in. I don’t know if I should be impressed that this guy is so manipulative to have scored that much, or extremely disappointed in my gender for letting this guy infect them! 50, is an obscene number considering this guy is 22 tops, unless he is a forever college student who needs to grow up, graduate and get a real life. Which in all truth could be the case.

Let me paint a picture of a 30-year-old man boy who still lives in a frat house dreaming of the days when he could actually land a young woman and have a connection with her. But now, he has no women in his life and since  his GPA was so low he was rejected from all of the graduate programs he applied too. So, he’s stuck working at the local fast food restaurant and still living in the Frat house watching his brothers live out their glory days while he sits on the couch resting his beer on his pot belly.

Although that would make me feel an ounce of sadness for him, there is no excuse for saying any of that. I don’t care if it is just “guy talk,” if you talk about any person in that manner you  obviously have something wrong with you mentally and should seek help. Immediately.
