As an English major I’ve heard all the digs leveled against my college and my degree. My personal favourite has to be, “What are you going to do with an English degree? Work at Starbucks?” For the record, I’ve tried. They won’t hire me.

“That girl is such a slut.” It’s a common phrase to describe women and it’s one that needs to stop.
It may seem harmless at first, just something said after one too many drinks, but what lies beneath is a fear and resentment of female sexuality. In the simplest terms it’s an example of slut-shaming.

You pump yourself up, telling yourself you are going to crush this paper. This paper is going to be your bitch. You are confident, self-assured. You can do this! You are an intelligent university student, after all.

University is undoubtedly stressful. Between midterms, essays and final exams, it may seem like the only free time left is reserved for losing your mind.
The business and formality of university makes me long for the simpler days of elementary school, where proficiency in finger painting made you a cool kid and you could run free on the playground during recess.
