Hurricane Matthew & Other Events Of 2016
Mykindarain

So far this year there have been many worldwide events that have occurred including presidential debates, Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint in Paris, clowns terrorizing our streets, and more recently, with Hurricane Matthew having ravaged everything in its path. There has been so much going on, and 2016 is not yet over, warranting for many other things to come.

In regards to the presidential debates, elections are coming up next month in November, so results are that are pending. I don't know about you, but I definitely do not want Trump running our country with his racist, cynical, and sexist opinions.

As far as Kim Kardashian West on the other side of the world, what happened to her is something that I would not wish on my worst enemy, so sympathy and regards go out to her and her family. May Kim's bodyguard fulfill his promise to the Kardashian family and find those who brought on this havoc.

As far as the whole clown thing goes, everyone better know that I'll be staying home in my comfy bed on Halloween night and not facing the dangers out there brought on by this disguise consuming the country. I have seen enough horror movies in my lifetime to know that those who go out looking for trouble will most surely find it.

Onto another issue, there were many evacuations taking place in South Carolina and Georgia as Florida was being demolished by Hurricane Matthew. As far as news reports go, flooding took place in most of the regions in the South East, and not only has it affected America, but it has affected Haiti as well. Many lives have been lost, as well as many homes. Over 500 lives were lost in Haiti, and 43 were lost in the United States, so prayers out to those lives lost and to their families.

With only a few months left in 2016, there is still much room for more events like these to occur. The hurricane season is still ongoing, Kim Kardashian West's assailants are still at large, clowns are still terrorizing the country, and elections are still yet to take place. 2016 has been one heck of a ride, so fasten your seatbelts folks, and be prepared for more to come.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
