Hurricane Matthew & Other Events Of 2016

This year has been quite eventful

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
