Day 5- (sorry it's a day late)
A time when I have thought about killing my self… well 3 weeks ago. It was the end of the quarter I was depressed, stressed, and had such bad anxiety I couldn’t really eat from the terrible stomach aches I was having. I couldn’t sleep more than 3 or 4 hours. I had to write 4 huge essays in a week. My thoughts of suicide are never serious. It’s always, “wow, life would...

Think women have achieved equality? Think again. →
We Can’t Be Equal While:
Gender Roles
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to “have balls”, or conversely she is a “man-eater”, “ball-buster”, or a “bitch” because she was “too” assertive.
Men are beat up,...

Day 4-
My views on religion… I have a lot of them. I am personally not religious. I don’t identify with any one path, but I am spiritual. I believe we all have souls, our inner us, and I believe that those souls never die. Our bodies are powered by electrical impulses. What makes us essentially us is electricity. Electricity can not be created or destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy). It...

Day 3-
I have interesting views on drugs and alcohol. I have seen both ruin lives. Drugs have taken away one of my parents. I have seen the destruction both cause. But I also know many people who can drink and smoke pot responsibly. Hard drugs are scary as shit, but soft drugs are cool with me. Drinking is obviously ok since I am in college and like to go out and drink & dance on the weekends (and...
