Why shouldn’t birth control/contraceptives be part of health care?
College Rant
I go to school in a community that is as obsessed with brand name as it is about academic success. It is terribly unfortunate to see that such a fixation has spread into the process of deciding what college to go to. It’s all about what sounds good and what looks good. People seem to disregard what is good for them in this process of trying to look pretentious.
When people ask what college I want to attend, they look shocked and often disdainful when I reply that I want to go to UNT; it’s as if it isn’t good enough for the societal standard. It isn’t up to society and my friends where I want to go to school; it’s up to me.
My boyfriend is going to a slightly more academically prominent school. He is quite happy that I’ve made my choice based on what I want to do in life, yet he also suggests that I look into other schools. I calmly explain that despite the fact that everyone is going to someplace that sounds more prestigious, my college of choice has everything I want; my major of choice; an excellent music program; a great community; an awesome downtown area; a cute college district; and, even more importantly, a place for me to work. It’s also close enough to home that I have a support network and far enough away that I can be independent.
College is a place of self discovery and learning. It isn’t about where you go to make yourself sound smarter than you really are. If anything, you’re an idiot for subscribing to the narrow-minded societal pressure to create an intelligent facade.
Never mind the bollocks. Be your own person.

They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English.
I can’t even talk the way these people talk:
“Why you ain’t,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be…”.And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the…
