Sitting During the Anthem

This will just be a quick little rant. Tonight I attended my first Texas State home football game. We played the #6 ranked team in the nation, U of H, so you can assume how that went. Regardless, before the game started, they had a little show at the beginning where the band plays Texas themed songs and whatnot. The announcer then says, "all rise for our national anthem," and every decent human being in that stadium, which was sold out, rose. However, there was one section where everyone wore all black and sat during the anthem.
I do not care what you are protesting; I do not care what your beliefs are. If your country's national anthem is playing, you stand the hell up. Sitting during the playing of it such a blatant action of disrespect. This does not prove a point, it makes the "protesters" look foolish; like raising the middle finger to all of the men and women who have died for this great country we live in. These are  also typically the same people who "hate police" yet need them when there's an emergency. (That story will be for another time) My personal opinion is that, if you don't want to stand and respect our anthem, don't go to games. And, if your name is Colin Kaepernick and/or any other player who decides to do this, don't play in the game. You want to make a stand so bad, show us all and don't play. The game must go on. Until next time,

Alone Time

I used to consider myself a big introvert. Super shy, nervous to talk around new people, hated working in groups, etc. However, as time passed, I came out of my shell just a little bit. Group projects will always suck, but I realized talking to people wasn't so bad; meeting new people isn't actually such a horrible experience.  This growth has helped me a lot, especially when I first got to school.
But, since I've been at college, I've yet to have alone time. The bathrooms are public, I share a room with another person, there are always people walking around everywhere. All I wanted was to just be able to sit in my room or wherever and do my own thing just for a little bit. Well, ask and you shall receive. My roommate left this morning and won't be back until tomorrow. The thing with my roommate and I is that we're like best friends. No, we didn't know each before coming to school, we just connected immediately and basically do everything together. She left somewhat spontaneously, as did most other girls on my floor. I've been alone since I woke up this morning...and I hate it. Eating alone is not fun, and while it seems nice to lay in bed all day watching Netflix, it gets boring. So, the moral of this story is be careful what you wish for. Until next time friends,
