think before you speak please.

I'm in the mood to do something amazing.
I feel like I want to do something life-changing you know?
But I'm stuck on campus until work, so my options are limited...
So here I am, blogging.

In class yesterday we watched a documentary about how women are exploited and undermined by the media.
I was so captivated and was thoroughly interested in what was being taught.
But after class, I was talking to a friend [also in my class] and he was going on about how that was the most boring/pointless lesson and how our teacher should have just told all the guys to stay home that day.
He complains a lot about how our teacher is a liberal women's rights kind of lady, when in reality she's just a strong woman in the workplace with an opinion.
Usually I just ignore his comments on the subject, but this was the real winner:
"What's her deal? I mean it was Captain Moroni, not MRS. Moroni..."
Serious?
I've never been some kind of feminist activist but honestly, some people have no clue when it comes to respecting women.
Those kinds of comments are demeaning and narrow-minded, not charming.
Okay I'm done with my soap-box moment, I just had to get that out.

I found this awesome quote on Pinterest and had to share.


Did I mention I'm obsessed with Pinterest these days?
I find sooo many great things on there.
Like this super cute idea for the 4th of July [my favorite holiday btw..]


Ahh yes. I spend tooo much free time finding great little things.

I need to make a proper shout out to one of my best friends:
Marie Clarke, soon to be... Marie Young!
This beautiful girl got engaged last week and is getting married in December.

She's the most in-tune person I know and Devin is one lucky guy.
I'm so so happy for her and can't wait for the wedding!! :)

That's all for now.
Until next time,

xox.

P.S.
I'm obsessed with this dress from Urban.
I muuuust buy it.

I'm sorry you had to hear the disgusting dribble of a lesser human being. Anyone who thinks that way ought to be punched hourly.

Sorry, that makes me furious...

Yes. Unfortunately, you will deal with many clueless men (and women). Lack of respect bugs the heck out of me. This topic is very real and very upsetting to me, as well. Thankfully there are still some decent, sensitive men out there who will defend the dignity of women despite the media's constant need to objectify women.
