the perfect spring break body
So spring break is coming up meaning you are in a bikini showing your body off to tons of people! When this time comes around girls are hitting the gym to try to better there body and it is true! Whenever I go to the gym I see so many girls working out so they can have a HOT BODY for spring break. Working out and eating right are some ways girls are trying to lose weight but others take losing weight to a new level by hurting their bodies.
Binge eating, not eating, throwing up etc. These are all common things girls are doing to better themselves and it has become an issue worldwide. Today, the pressure to become skinny is everywhere. Body image has become a big deal on college campuses especially right before spring break. Girls want to have the best body and show it off.
The one main cause of anorexia and bulimia is low self-esteem. Girls feel that they aren’t good enough, or pretty enough and that their lives would get better if they could just lose weight. It’s so sad when you see a beautiful girl hurt their body so they can feel better about themselves… this feeling good about yourself is only a short term happiness though.
One of my best friends in high school was on cheer with me as well as a flyer. She was the cutest smallest girl ever and for some reason she thought she wasn't good enough. She thought she was too heavy for the boys to lift her up in the air. She started to lose some weight, stopped eating meat, stopped eating carbs, and only ate vegetables and fruit. She did drastically lose weight. All her friends tried to help her but she didn't listen to anyone. Everyone at school started to notice and thought she was a freak. Her skin started to look bad, her hair started to fall out, she was basically a walking toothpick. Finally our cheer coach talked to her parents and she finally realized that she had a problem and went into therapy and now she’s back to normal but because she started to binge eat her metabolism slowed down which meant that she can gain weight easily. She has become a much bigger girl than before. It’s sad to see a naturally skinny girl with a fast metabolism mess up her metabolism by trying to better her body image.
Iam sure most people know at least one person that has had a eating disorder. Its so common. I really hate seeing girls that hurt their body just to make themselves feel better. The worst part is these girls don't realize they don't have a problem. I really just want to tell them that anorexia and bulimia will not work in the long run for losing weight! Your just going to gain it all back and its just going to mess your whole metabolism up! So just eat healthy ,work out ,feel good about your self ,accept your body and LOVE YOURSELF!!!

CHEERLEADING. REAL SPORT?
Yesterday I went to the NCA all star nationals cheerleading competition at the convention center it Dallas. It was so excitng especially because I have competed at the same place when i was a competitive cheerleader in high school. It brought back so many memories with the curlers, the hairspray, the bobby pins, the glitter, and the ribbons. It made me want to jump in one team and do the routine with them! I miss it so much!
What made me upset is that when we got back from the competition and told some guys we went to a cheer competition today they just laughed in our faces. It really makes me mad that people think that cheerleading isnt a real sport BECAUSE IT IS.
Cheerleading is one of the few sports that is year round so you barely get any breaks through out the year. Think about running and doing some flips, do a dance, lifting a girl up in the air and than do some more flips and throw a girl up in the air again for two minutes and thirty seconds. ITS A BIG WORK OUT! I feel that people underestimate cheerleading they think it is just a "ra ra" sport and we just go and cheer at games but its not true. We put so many hours in perfecting our tumbling skills and trying to balance a girl up in the air.
As the flyer i was always on top being thrown around. All the pressure was always one me because when your up in the air the judges always look at you. Its nerve racking because every body depends on you. And for some reason you fall in a stunt and even if it isnt your fault your teammates get mad at you. It sucks. Its a lot of pressure and its hard! As hard as it is for a guy to hold a girl up in the air its just as hard for a girl to balance her self on one leg in the air.
I just really want to ask guys that arent in cheer if they could balance a girl with one hand? Because thats what all guys have to do and in unison with the twelve other stunts going up. You only get one chance and if one person bends a knee in a stunt and falls you wont get first place. I just really want all the guys that play sports to just try cheerleading for a day and see how hard it actually is and it isnt a stupid sport. Yes there are teams out there that just cheer at games and arent competitive but the competitive teams that are out there are AWESOME! These people have practice probally 16 hours a week and its hard.
I just want people to appreciate cheerleaders more because it isnt a stupid sport. Its hardcore. Go to a cheer competiton and watch.

Chicka Chicka Yeah Fake I.D. Fake I.D.
When i hear the work fake i.d. it is so common. Mostly all the people i know own one. But it is SO ILLEGAL! Last week i went to a bar with my friend and the police walked to the bar and saw that my friend was wearing an SMU hat. The police walked straight up to him and asked if he was 21 because he was holding a beer. He denied it at first but after he looked at his i.d. he was taken outside. That night my friend went to jail for the night for public intoxication and he said it was one of the worst experiences of his life.
The law is that if you are caught purchasing or possessing any type of alcoholic beverages Violators of this section are guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor and, upon conviction, face a fine of at least $500 or fifty hours of community service, and can lose their driver's license for up to a year. My friend that night didnt lose his liscence but basically he has to pay a fine and to community service.
I dont really know what to say about this situation because so many people in college own fake i.d.s to get drinks and get into bars. Its more of a social thing and to think that it is actually really illegal makes me feel really bad about everyone i know that has one. But alot of the bars on greenville wouldnt get as much service if so many people didnt own fake i.d.s.
I mean i know its a bad thing to own one but when it comes to owning one when you want to go out and be social i feel that its okay.
In another case my wallet was stolen last year and some one used my credit card and liscence and spent over 200 dollars of things. My i.d. wasnt fake but they pretended it was me. This made me so mad and we could never find the person. I feel that when you use an i.d. and it is hurting some one else its bad but when you use a fake i.d. to try to get into a bar it isnt harming anyone else really. Your just trying to have fun.
Today it is so easy to get a fake i.d.s you can ask anyone on campus and they would know of one person that could get one to you. I heard of a story once that a person was working at the D.M.V and he went in one night and stole the hole machine that makes fake i.d.s. He started making them for alot of people and making LOTS OF MONEY. i dont know what happend to him or if he got caught but when i heard that i was so surprised! That is so risky!
But today it is so common to own a fake i.d. and sometimes if you do get caught the worst that happens is that it gets taken away. But if you get caught by the cops its s different story.
After what happened to my friend it made me realize that carrying a fake i.d. is actually really bad and illegal and you could get into some major trouble but its weird because its so common. I know having a fake i.d. will just get more and more common. Maybe the cops will bust the people that make them or maybe they wont. We will see.

RUMORS?
This weekend while i was out i heard rumors about some new recommendations for the campus.
SMU might build an on-campus pub and may allow frats to have parties in the houses with professional bartenders under one circumstance: they must hire police to monitor the parties.
This is quite interesting. I have not heard of a campus with a bar in it! I mean thats kinda cool? but i would feel really weird saying "hey tonight were going to the smu bar!" That is just weird. We are all so used to going to off campus bars. I would feel like I'am getting in trouble if I drink at the on-campus pub.
I'm not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing to have police in the houses. SMU is a dry campus but who listens to that? Every weekend people are pregaming in their dorm and in the frat houses and most of the time you can get away with it. I know my friends at other schools get suprised when I tell them SMU has parties at bars because most colleges with a greek system throw all their parties in the fraternity houses. I actually really like going off campus to different bars its a different scene and i definitely feel older going to bars.
Having police in the houses would definitely be safer for everyone but not as fun. I dont think we need professional bartenders in the house it is too much of a hastle waiting for drinks when you can just get one in any of the rooms of the frat. I could not imagine going into a frat house getting my i.d. checked and walking around the house with a wrist band or x's on your hand. Most of my friends have fake i.d's and it is pretty easy to get into bars with them but with the cops checking our i.d's they could be taken away pretty fast.
Having cops monitor parties would definitely make going out not as fun. I dont think it really matters though. I think that even if there are bartenders at the houses the frats would still throw parties at other bars. I wonder if this reccomendation will happen in the future. And if it does i wonder how it will change the SMU night life.
