I will not apologize for being a white male from the upper middle class. No one should have to apologize for who they are or their "privileged" up bringing. If someone has a harder time than me their motto should be "Out of adversity comes opportunity" not "My life is hard pity me". If a person from a "under-privileged" upbringing doesn't see the value of hard work they deserve to stay at the bottom. And if I don't work hard and study hard I deserve to, and WILL sink to the bottom. It's been that way for millions of years and it isn't going to change.

Aimee, I don't know what your last name is but you're honestly gorgeous and I'd love to get to know you better!

I think your name is Kevin? I see you working out at crest all the time, and damn you have huge arms;) hit me up sometime

Today, the Chancellor at UWEC emailed the student body about an apparent outbreak of rape and sexual assault cases in the campus area. In his message, he talked about what women should do to prevent this from happening. While I'm sure Chancellor Schmidt had the best intentions, he went about this in completely the wrong way. It is not the fault of women for being raped, that crime is inducted by the men. The victims should never be told that it's their fault. That is unacceptable. You don't tell victims of a mugging, "well, that is what happens when you're walking downtown." No. You make a point of trying to control the problem, not the victims. Yes, women should be careful with what's going on. But that's because we're living in a society of "Blurred Lines". There is no excuse. The email should be targeted towards the men who are assaulting women. This email was just short of saying, "Well, maybe you shouldn't wear such revealing clothing." While I commend the University for pointing out a problem, I don't agree with the message. You shouldn't blame the victims for the crime. I'm an older brother of two sisters. If either of them were raped or sexually assaulted, I wouldn't just mention that they should have been with a friend or should have watched their drinks. I would hunt down the guy and kick his ass. Quite blaming on the problem on women not being prepared. They did NOTHING wrong. Look at the men. Focus on the problem causers, not the victims.

Unpopular opinion: not everyone is equal.

Some people are better looking, more talented, more loved, more resourceful, more intelligent, funnier, or nicer than others. Some people have more friends, some are complete loners. Some people are just naturally lucky, others aren't. To suggest that everyone is completely equal is delusional. The measure by which some people are better than others isn't (or at least shouldn't be) race, gender, sexuality, or anything like that, but some people just naturally possess qualities that aren't liked in society.

So everyone, please stop saying that everyone is equal and if you just be yourself others will like you. It's just not true.

In class, I was listening to a group presentation with a powerpoint. During the presentation, I noticed multiple grammar errors such as then instead of than. A prime example as to why you should always use the correct grammar no matter what context. It WILL show when you don't want it to. Besides, if you are in college, you should have the correct grammar no matter what context. I would understand more if it was actually hard to use the correct grammar, but it's not. You are only making yourself look dumb.

I wish you could know how much I actually care.
Either that or I wish I didn't care so much...
