Michael Sam

Michael Sam

There’s so much talk going on about Michael Sam and him being openly gay. I don’t see why this is such a huge deal. Reading this article didn’t make me feel too easy about this whole situation.

The hottest selling rookie jersey in the NFL is Johnny Manziel’s. The second best-selling is Sam’s. It turns out NFL fans can’t wait to buy — and presumably wear — the jersey of a gay man. Who would have predicted that?

The jersey of a gay man…. Sam is human, you know. It’s not like something is drastically wrong with him. So what if people want to wear his jersey. I guess I am just happy that Sam is being open about his identity going on with his life, but what bothers me is how some people react to his situation or any other LGBTQ issues. I was also watching the news when I was on break not too long ago and they were talking about Sam being drafted and “The Kiss” (he kissed his partner and it’s on video). I am pretty sure if it was heterosexual couple showing any type of affection, then it would not be such a huge deal. I feel like social issues like these should be talked about considering that most people do not like talking about it and simply brush it off. It is part of our culture and our society. But I do have to admit that I am glad Michael Sam is being viewed as a positive and influential role model for those who struggle with “coming out” etc… What do you all think?

2 things

First,

I can’t stop thinking about graduation this weekend. It is NOW starting to really sink in that I am graduating from college. It still seems so surreal to me. 4 more days! So close.

and

Second,

Today my Jake left me a letter tucked in my car door and it was honestly such a great feeling as I read it. Before him, I was such a hopeless romantic, but things have fallen into place so effortlessly. I couldn’t be any happier.

 

That is all.

5 more days

Until graduation!!!! I still cannot believe it. This has been a goal and dream of mine since I was younger.  And I’ll be the first to graduate from college in my family which means a lot. My family is super proud of everything I have accomplished thus far and I too am proud and thankful for this accomplishment. This is just the beginning to a new chapter in my life and i can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me!  I’ll make sure to post pictures from graduation,  etc.

My Jake

These are only some of the texts I received this morning. It’s the little things that mean the most to me. I still don’t know how I got so lucky to meet someone so amazing. I can go on about this for hours and write about it endlessly, but I’ll save it…..for now. I am just so amazed that another individual is able to bring that amount of joy to my life.
