Dear Money, I Hate You

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!!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
