For days now, I have been working on a paper. It is only 4 pages, and is about the woman’s movement in the Sixties, aka the Second Wave of Feminism. Piece of cake, right? No, not when the Kardashians and other crappy reality TV exists, when there is laundry to be done, things to purchase at Target and the internet (damn you, Reddit). So here I am, day three of the most drawn out paper writing experience possibly of my life, listening to Taylor Swift.

One of the lines in her song bout Kanye always sticks out to me - “Today is never too late to be brand new”. How true is that?! I think about it often. I don’t think I have ever felt completely satisfied with myself, but everyone goes through that I think. There’s always room for improvement, being a better person. Which made me feel guilty about my judgmental bitch rant from the other day. I shouldn’t be judging people and putting it on my stupid Tumblr. It is human nature to judge, and I know that such judgment should be kicked out of the brain, but sometimes it is difficult! I must try harder to care less.

I don’t often have a bitch rant, except for that last post, but I just have to. A few pointers for my fellow females, in my opinion.

-Belts are meant to accentuate the waist, not sit on your tiny frame awkwardly.

-Facebook is not your diary. If you want to complain, make a Tumblr and then everyone who whines can whine along with you. (like me!)

-Sunglasses that are bejeweled/bedazzled (or anything that has rhinestones on it) should be reserved for preteens.

-Learn how to apply blush, and find the right shade for your face. Admittedly, blush is pretty darn hard to figure out (I surely don’t have it perfected) but the rule of thumb is, if you look like a clown, you’re doing it wrong.

-I don’t care about the weekly progress of your unborn child. I’m sorry, but I truly don’t.

-When posting a status, referring to yourself as he or she instead of saying I or speaking from the first person is fucking weird. Example: Amber Anderson “just finished writing her final papers!” Please stop doing this.

-General meanness, rudeness. Save it for a stupid blog like mine or personal journal.

I am the biggest advocate for not being mean on the internet, but sometimes, I just can’t take it anymore. I’m only kind of sorry.

Yesterday I had a bit of a Facebook tiff with an old friend. So lame, I know. But she essentially put up a post stating that her news feed was full of people graduating from college and getting ‘just another piece of paper’ and how she will have no student debt and is more proud of herself for having two kids by two different guys, one of which she had only been with for a few weeks before getting pregnant. She acted all high and mighty because she has her LNA and graduated from a phlebotomy program. HOLD UP! This is a girl who CANNOT hold down a job, and is constantly complaining about physical problems. She has had a swat team save her kid from a house with a fucking crazy person with guns in it because she escaped without him. And I am lesser than because I went to college and have debt?! I wouldn’t trade my feminist awakening for anything, have made amazing friends, and my eyes have been opened to the world. I know how to write a resume, a solid research paper. Hell, I can actually DO research from start to finish. I am not ignorant to the ways of the world. And I will gladly take my twenty grand in student debt over acting like I am better than everyone else without it.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with having babies - they’re so wonderful and beautiful! But please don’t compare having kids to getting a college degree - they’re apples & oranges! They are tons of hard work, and I have worked my ass off for this ‘piece of paper’ and had many financial and personal problems in the last four years and I am damn proud of myself. Her friends hopped on the bandwagon to attack me, and called me a rude asshole. I will attach screen shots so you can judge for yourself - was I out of line for being pissed?!
