The Beginning...

So this is my first time making a blog. I have no clue what I'm supposed to do, although I'm sure that there are no rules. So this is for all who will read my blog in advance...Bear with me. Lol. Ok, so the name of my blog is Young Women of Society and that is exactly what I want this blog to be about. I'm a junior in college and I attend an HBCU, Historically Black College or University. Walking around campus, I witness many things that are not becoming of a young woman whose goal is to have a successful future. I look in awe at how young women and men act or carry themselves. I'm not here to say "That's wrong. You should change who you are." I will say however, that we all wish to have a career and possibly get married one day. In my opinion, society has shaped us to think only about the now. In order to obtain what society shows, you have to think about the future as well. I'm not at all saying to be boring and never have any fun. I have tons of fun and live in the moment, but I am constantly thinking about my future. 

I wanted to start this blog because I am tired of seeing young women degrade themselves or act any kind of way and then expect to find a mate that respects them. Respect starts with yourself. Many girls look to people like Rihanna and Lady Gaga as role models. I have respect for and love both artists' music, but they are not positive role models for young women in 2013, in my opinion. Rihanna has her own set of issues without involving Chris Brown and Lady Gaga is currently in hiatus after having to cancel her tour. No one is perfect, but I rather have Michelle Obama or even Beyonce as role models. They try to uplift the youth and send out positive messages. 

Guys like the short shorts and the tight clothes that girls are wearing, but it only lasts for so long. At some point, guys stop going after the girls with no clothes on and start looking for girls that carry themselves well and who are confident. They start looking for a woman to settle down with. After talking with my older brother, I thought of how many girls are just living in the moment. Out of that... Young Women of Society was born.

I hope y'all like and will continue to read. I have many thoughts that I would like to share and I thought a blog would be a great way. Comment and let me know what y'all think.
