Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie

I just sat and calculated how much books were going to be $355. So I basically have to decide what class I want to fail in. shit why cant I be like these vanguardians who parents actually help them and give them more than the occasional $50 bucks! I don't want nice things I just want to be able to go out to eat with my floor, have money for outings of any kind, or buy my fucking text books! I look like a jerk sitting in class because I haven't read. Then people say, oh were one of those lazy people who don't read. I'm so much better then you cause I read! If I could I would read the assigned reading its just that all three years I had to pick and choose what books to buy! I know I should be happy with what I have. I'm just frustrated because my goal seems impossible and I'm feeling overwhelmed with my life. I don't need to go shopping every week. I'm not complaining that i have to eat ramen for lunch and dinner, or that i budget for water, shampoo, and toilet paper, or that I've been using the same foundation for 2 years, or that my piece of shit hand me down computer shuts down every 10 minutes. No, I'm not complaining. I just want to have my fucking text books every semester without getting a stomach ulcer obtaining them!

sheyanne's stepping on her soap box...

So last night there was a protest on campus that i regretfully missed. Let me just say a few words concerning what went on and what is still going on. Thursday evening was vanguards so-called annual women's appreciation night, Woo-Fest. What goes on during this festival of wooing you might ask? The women dress up, the men hand them flowers, the men perform different skits flattering the "weaker" sex, and the tradition of gender roles lives on.

A few women on campus including myself disagree with the continual subordination of women and the roles we are to play on this campus. These women felt it was their job and responsibility to speak up possibly opening the minds and hearts of our fellow vanguardians both men and women. I was doing laundry at a friends and missed the memo about the silent demonstration. These wonderfully intelligent ladies dressed up, put on aprons and binded their wrist and tapped their mouths shout. The demonstration was meant to address the way this campus views relationships and the belief that we are only complete when we have found that someone. The notion that women need to be pursued and men need to pursue to claim there mate. TRADITIONAL gender roles. We want to break free from this ideal!

So these women stood outside of Woo-Feast and staged a silent demonstration. I feel that students really didn't understand what these women were trying to say. And honestly i don't think they care to. Students were offended by the demonstration to say the least. One of the RD's on vanguards campus told the women they were being disrespectful. This man's name is Jeremy King for all of those concerned. One student who was a female told them that God created women to be submissive and that it was a spiritual thing. Really? One of the my friends was recapping the night, and it hit me there's an epidemic on campus.

Whats wrong with this campus that we cant even voice our opinions in a RESPECTFUL way. These women were exercising there constitutional right of freedom of speech. I think it is a beautiful thing to see people standing up for what they believe in. Why don't you stop one of us and ask what kind of statement we were trying to make. We what change and if I remember correctly vanguard encourages change, or am i mistaken. Does change only come with approval of the RD's? Must change get stamped and approved by ASB? Even if you don't agree with what went on last night you should still have treated those women with respect and admiration. These women have such a heart for social justice and the kingdom of heaven.

I now step down from my soap box.
