Things I Wish I’d Done In College
In less than a month, I’m graduating from college. That seems absolutely insane to me, but it’s true. I generally consider my college experience to be a positive one, and if I had to do it all over again, I would. I love Pacific University, I love my professors, and I love the people I’ve met here. That’s not to say I don’t wish I’d done a bit more with my last four years. Below are just a couple of things I wish I had done, or done more of, during college.

Senior Projects Day in Review

First of all, I want to give a shoutout to all of my incredible friends for their brilliant and thoughtful presentations yesterday- ya’ll put me to shame. However, this is my website, so I’m gonna talk about MY project, and my thoughts surrounding my presentation/my near-final product. Continue reading “Senior Projects Day in Review”

Once again, it is related to women’s issues, but I promise soon I’ll write on another subject. In fact, I’ve got a whole queue of blog drafts waiting to get worked on, and only like half of them are about women’s issues. But anyways. This is a response to the Time Magazine editorial “It’s Time to End ‘Rape Culture’ Hysteria”. Continue reading “Rape Culture is Not A Myth”
“The Problem with False Feminism”- A Response.
So there’s an article circulating around Tumblr right now. It’s this one, about Disney’s new animated film “Frozen.” I will state for the record I really enjoyed this movie when it came out, and now [as of the slight editing of this post for clarity]. A lot. And like everything else I enjoy in pop culture, when someone makes bad-faith criticisms of it, I have to respond. I can’t help it. I’ve been a competitive debater for six years. It’s in my blood.
