A Call For Humanity, A Call For World Peace

A Call For Humanity, A Call For World Peace
WallPaperCave

What happened to the world? What happened to us?

Where did humanity go?

Whether it’s domestic or international, or whether an action is defined as a terrorist attack or a hate crime…

they both translate to fear.

It’s time to understand that peace is what we need.

to see it as the call that the world needs to hear.

A fear that unfortunately can not be taken away because regardless as to whether or not you're at home, out on vacation or simply exploring something new,

We are in danger.

It’s time to come together and find a solution-

One that will act as a life changer.

This is a fear that co-exists within us, because regardless of whether or not you knew it existed it,

it’s out there.

It’s time for us to stop shedding tears,

And to get rid of all these fears.

A fear that regardless of whether you know the “attacker” or not, it can touch you personally. It can happen to you or anyone of your loved ones.

It saddens me to see the home, the society and the world in which my children, grandchildren and future generations will grow up in.

It’s the scariest I’ve ever been.

Let our children run free in a world without worries

Where all they feel is the wind hitting their adorable faces,

And where they can withhold and retell only fun stories.

To be able to hold hands with one another, for them to understand that we all come from different places,

but smile in the same language.

Let them learn the beauty of a peaceful world and to look far beyond from the terror.

Let them experience its prettiness

And teach them the language of happiness

We’re creating a world that foresees the unthinkable but forgets the innocence that once lived within us. We live in a world that was meant to be kept and was once created to be our planet.

It was supposed to be a beautiful place in which we were to be safe,

So let us stop the hate,

Let us get rid of all this terror.

Let us create a better place.

Enough is Enough…

Love is LOVE.

Faith is FAITH.

We are all ONE.

**Istanbul... Orlando.... Paris.... Families... Victims... World.. we are with you.**

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
