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.

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
