BLOG: The Best Support

Isn't it incredible how fast life can change. In a heart beat, a stranger could become a best friend. Over the past few months, I have met some incredible people, and I am so honored to have them in my life, even when I don't deserve it.

Some of my best friends I have never physically met, yet we are able to connect on such a level which renders that simple fact invalid. Melissa, this comment is especially for you.

The majority of my friends have been met at a gas station. How crazy is that?!?! I would have never thought that my life could be changed by such a simple place. No matter what my life throws at me, I have a much brighter recovery, and an easier change based on these wonderful girls, and the two guys. ;)

If it is not a gas station, a simple Facebook post has connected me to several other friends. I found my brother from another mother on a Facebook post, and I am glad to be a part of their lives.

No matter what I face, my support network is constantly growing. I am so honored to know these wonderful people. They have done so much to change my life for the better, and I don't know what I ever did to deserve it.

As some of you may know, I suffer from social anxiety. Many times, I can't go to the grocery store without having a panic attack. If I am able to go, usually I have to bring headphones, and focus on the task at hand to successfully complete my goal.

When I face a hard time, I know that these friends are here for me, and I know that I am able to reach out to them to continue fighting through whatever issue is at hand. Sometimes, I call certain people. Other times, I cry so hard for anyone to sit on the ground with me and help me out, sometimes literally.

I continue to meet life goals through the help from these wonderful people. I constantly develop stronger bonds and connections, and with their hands out as far as they can go, I know that my friends will help me become a better person, and that they wont let me down.

BLOGS: Consumers of Information

With the situation that has evolved down at UW, I have seen, once again, how bias the media has been. The headlines read almost the same every time, "Liberal College Blogger Faked Rape Threat From Conservative Student." This poses a question for me, however, as a consumer of information. What evidence has been presented against this student that proves that she did it. We as consumers know absolutely nothing about what has been said or done. The media has basically convicted this student, although they are not stating what evidence has been provided against her. So, how do we know that she did or didn't do it. She hasn't gone to court. In the situation where you are being accused of a crime, you would appreciate to be presumed innocent until you are proven guilty. Why can't we give this person the same respect? I am not a liberal. I am far from it, but this is not a case of politics in my mind. This is a case of the media jumping on a story when there...

BLOG: My Friend's Relationships and 20 Signs Your Partner is Controlling

All too often, I have found myself as an outsider, looking into my friend's relationships. One of the most startling, disappointing trends I have noticed is the amount of women that are willing to settle for the sub-par men available in the world. The scum of the earth. The biggest trend is a guy who is so upset about his girlfriend having a male friend that he controls her. It is because of this trend, I wanted to bring you 20 Signs your Partner is Controlling. Toxic relationships can sneak up on almost anyone. And controlling behavior on the part of a partner knows no boundaries—people of any age, gender, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status can be in controlling relationships, playing either role. Many of us visualize a controlling partner as one who openly berates everyone in their path, is physically aggressive, or constantly makes overt threats or ultimatums. We picture the grumpy bully who belittles every server he or she encounters, or commands their partner how to...
