Dear Money, I Hate You

Sincerely the girl who just wants to love life for what it is worth

Dear Money, I Hate You
ABC News

Dear Money,

You make people ugly. You make people think they need material objects instead of experience. You make society think that love has a price. And for all these things and more I hate you.

I hate the way people become ugly when you (money) is involved. Dollar signs now fill peoples eyes instead of the compassion filling peoples' hearts. Why not give that homeless man a few dollars? Is it really fair to say that he is going to buy drugs with it? Maybe just maybe he is lonely and wants 3 minutes of you time but instead you keep walking by with your head up acting like you never saw him. Money I hate the way you divide this country. We are are human; we should want the best for those who also inhabit this Earth with us.

I hate the way that you make people only feel worthy only when they have a lot of money. Because I can promise the best souls are worth more money than anyone could ever have the amount of cash for.

I hate the way a pay raise is chosen after an experience of going on a vacation.

I am so sorry this article seems so negative, I just think we need a wake up call because the people around us are not always going to be there and we only have one life. So stop worrying about the dollar. Take that vacation. Take a few days off to spend with your cousins. Take a minute and go outside to smell the flowers instead of downloading a flower wallpaper on your phone.

Living > money. Realize this!!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
