I have a feeling I am not the only one who feels this way.

Things I Wish Would Change in American Society

There are different things that I notice about our society as Americans, and honestly, America is not great anymore. We are a country full of bull headed idiots who somehow cannot figure out how to just work together and actually do something great for once.

1. No one can seem to work together

There are so many people that I see that constantly argue and can never seem to get a single task done. Group members argue over the stupidest things and it can be so frustrating as a person who just wants to get the task done and over with. If people did not talk so much and actually listened to what other members had to say, there wouldn’t be as many arguments and things would actually get done.

2. You cannot say something without someone getting butt hurt

It is so hard to make a joke or be hard on someone without the other crying and calling it a hate crime. The last time I checked, it was not bad for someone to make a joke. People need to grow up and learn to take a joke or constructive criticism. That is just what we do.

3. We cannot come together as a society

Take for example this past election. Sure, no side is ever going to agree, but fighting for hatred with violence is only causing more problems! The world needs to have less hate and we need to just get what we get and not throw a fit. We all need to grow the hell up and work together like adults.

4. People go on rants about things they do not even research

If one more person rants about something that they do not know anything about, I will flip my lid. The next time someone tries to rant about something they do not fully grasp, do not question why I freak out on you. Do your homework.

5. Accusations are flying everywhere

We are all not liars or cheaters or “rats”. Sometimes I wish people would slow down and actually take a look at people and learn all of the facts before they go and accuse someone. This applies everywhere, the workplace, in public or at home.

6. And no one is entitled to anything

So many people walk around thinking that everything is theirs and no one else deserves anything. I see so many children that are raised thinking that the world owes them everything and it is not okay. No one deserves anything and there are hard working Americans that work for everything they have. Try it sometime.

I know this article will get a lot of hate, and it is not geared towards any certain person or persons. I just think that this is something that people can relate to and it is things that I have noticed that I hope someone other than me wants to fix. Rant over.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
