Flirting with Someone that is Not Your Significant Other

So I was placed in this situation many times. I have known people that flirt with other people when they are dating someone else. It always bugged me to say the least. However, a few days ago, on my last day before winter break, one of my best friends decided to tell me that she has been flirting with one of our friends. That person has a girlfriend.

Cheating is not okay with me. I don’t think people should be in a relationship in the first place if they are willing to cheat. If you think you gonna cheat, or will cheat, DON’T be in a relationship. It’s not fair to anyone. I guess people get excitement from it, but it’s not morally right. I know flirting is not the same as cheating but shouldn’t it be? I mean if you are willing to flirt with someone else and send them half-naked pictures why are you still with your girlfriend? And if you are hiding this from her, well you’re as bad as a cheater.

Well my friend and I are fighting. She actually tried to convince me it is nothing. I’m sorry but if you do this often, ask for half-naked pictures, and all that fun stuff, you might as well be the mistress in this story. And don’t give me the crap that your other boys you been with has done that. Cause hey, knock knock, maybe that is why your ex broke up with you. You wonder why he stop loving you? It’s because you began your relationship taking naps with ex-hook ups and then you expect him to not be there for his ex when she really needs him?! Something is mentally wrong with you.

Well sorry for my rant there. Now the question is to you guys: what do you think of flirting with someone that is in a relationship or if you are flirting while you are in a relationship?

Issue with the Second Amendment after Newtown Incident

So I know this is a bit out of the topic but I think with everything going on right now, I feel like I need to speak about it.

Last Friday, December 14^th, 26 lives were taken in Newtown, Connecticut. The worse breaking news was that 20 of them where children with the average age of 6-7 years old L. The gunman went in the school and shot them multiple times. They were all innocent that were victims of someone who was not well.

Now the issue is raised to guns. Our President, Barack Obama, I would consider is the biggest anti-gun Democrat. Let’s not forget the Democratic Party is very anti-guns. So there is major debate about our second amendment, our forefathers gave us the right bear arms.

I would like to think that the more gun laws that are given, the more there will be issues and crimes. Let’s look at the South, they have guns and are free with them. Shockingly, there are less gun related crimes compared to up North where there are many anti-guns places. Or even Canada, there is less gun laws and coincidentally, there are less crimes.

Why is that? It’s psychology (this is the part where a bit of college education comes in) that when we are told we cannot have something, we all of a sudden have a desire for it. Like the show How I Met Your Mother, the lobster-affect. That is when one character, Robin, will want something right after she medically and physically cannot have it.

As much as everyone is fighting about the gun issues, I think we should reflect that there were 26 lives taken in the school. Guns may have partook in the event but I do not think it was the main problem. Actor Samuel L. Jackson said “I don't think it's about more gun control. I grew up in the South with guns everywhere and we never shot anyone. This [shooting] is about people who aren't taught the value of life … I don’t think movies or video games have anything to do with it. We need to stop deranged people from getting access to guns.”

I think he spoke the truth in this issue. Well we will see how this plays out. Until then, please keep of the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary in your prayers.

Ciao, XOXO

Who am I?

Hi to the world wide internet. I am new to this so you have to bear with me here.

So I wanted to write this blog because it seems the college, education in particular, is one of the biggest things that a lot of people stress about. In high school, were kind of on our own but still had our parents and counselors and teachers still guiding us every step of the way. But in college, we finally get what we have wanted, our independence. But that independence comes with a price. It won't be easy, the transition, but it is definitely worthwhile.

So before you think that this about just school and education, you are wrong. Instead this is a little more. This is about the relationships, the drama, the stress, the late nights, anything else you can think of that has to deal with college. People who think high school is all about the drama and once graduation comes, they'll be rid of it. You are wrong. There is still drama, but the difference is you finally start to realize what really is important in life. Are the friends you have really your friends? Are you really doing all this for you or for people you don't want to let down?

Well it's Christmas break and i'm about to be heading home. But I'll still be here. Everyday there will be something to share. And the great this about this blog is that you have a voice! Please feel free to through a topic or share your story! Don't be afraid. Because (as corny as this sounds) we are all in this together.

Till next time, XOXO,

Daphne
