7 Reasons The 'Fifty Shades' Series Is 50 Shades Of Wrong

Call me crazy, but I find the idea of these movies disturbing.

I may be one of the few people who are not obsessed with the latest release of "Fifty Shades Freed." I have not read one of the books nor seen the movies.

At first, the series simply didn’t interest me. As the hype increased over the years, I wanted to see what the big deal was. I read up on the series and watched the trailers.

From what I’ve read and seen, I do not ever want to see a single one of these movies. Some may argue that it is just pure entertainment and that’s fine. It’s whatever floats your boat. Personally, I find it all disturbing, but that’s just my opinion.

1. Christian Grey’s character is not attractive

Yes, you read that right. I do not think Mr. Grey is attractive. Sure, his physical appearance is easy on the eyes, but he has poor character. He’s manipulative, obsessive, angry and abusive. I’m sorry, but those qualities are awful.

"Mr. Grey will see you now." Hmmm... no thank you!

2. Physical and emotional abuse is glamorized

From what I’ve read, Christian is emotionally and physically abusive towards Ana. Hollywood takes this and glamorizes it. It turns into something people perceive as “fun” or “hot.” In no way should a woman being put down be glamorized.

3. The series does not show men the proper way to treat women

Men see how women are crazy about the books and movies. For some, they may think they need to act like Christian Grey to get a girl’s attention.

4. Women can become confused on how they should be treated

On the other hand, women see Christian Grey in the movies and think his demeanor towards Ana is “hot.” This leads girls to think being abused is OK.

5. I do not want to see these characters nude

Must I say more? It’s basically porn! The number of times Dakota Johnson is supposed to be shown nude in these movies is insane. Seeing her is just not at the top of my priority list.

6. It could cause disassociation from others

Let’s say you’re watching this movie with your boyfriend. Who do you think he’s thinking about? You or what is on screen? Let’s just ponder that for a while…

7. Parts of the books were left out of the movies

This part is downright disturbing. There were parts of the books that were not included in the movies because they were too explicit and graphic to be filmed. That speaks for itself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
