Click For A Change
Change.org

Can you change the world with the click of a mouse? Yes, yes you can.

Change.org is the name. It is a website, a powerful tool used by people from every single corner of the world to promote or support just about any cause. How the process works is incredibly simple. However, the impact that it has goes far beyond any simplicity.

This website is a way to help a change take place, to contribute to the world, which sometimes is a hard thing to do. How you stand up to what is fair is just by clicking "sign" and sharing. How much easier can it get? One signature at a time and big things can happen, and yours can be the decisive one.

There are about too-many-to-count petitions going on as you are reading this. The topics range from Animal Rights to Human Trafficking to Criminal justice, etc. There is a topic that will surely attract your attention and make you want to contribute to be part of that cause and make a change.

That is what it is all about: Change. Making your voice count and fight for what is right. When the system fails the people or when the voiceless animals are getting abused, when discrimination is taking place, it is up to you to make justice prevail. If nobody does, then who will?

As the website opens, the trending petitions will show, as well as the possibility to start a petition. There are also some victory cases, such as one of two unjustly imprisoned US citizens arrested in Kuwait, released after the petition reached 172,447 supporters. Here, it is to see that change can happen, only it has to be made.

Take a look at the petition, click on the "read more" link and inform yourself about what is happening in the petition. Sign it if you feel that there is a change that needs to happen. No matter how many signatures there are, your's counts more than you can even imagine. Do not stop there. You have the option of sharing it with your friends and acquaintances through social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter. Then share!

Help make your community, country, and the world a better and fair place to live. Many things need fixing around us, things that are not right and have to have a modification. Change.org is indeed the best place to start.

Join the 147,758,959 people that are already making their voices count. You do not need to go anywhere or to take anything out of your wallet. All that is required is a heart and a sense of righteousness, and the simple click of a mouse. After all, Change.org helps no one else but ourselves because, yes, we are part of the same world.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
