Hunger in Nepal.

Hunger is a problem in Nepal! We all as people and the government of United States should help people in Nepal who are in need of food. The U.S. government should provide more help by bringing awareness to people in the U.S. And they should also send good food resources that are healthy for everyone who live there.

The people in Nepal are getting insufficient help from their government, seeing as governmental help is too little and the population is too large. Nepal’s government isn’t dealing the earthquake effectively.

Many citizens of Nepal believe that the government is just a fraud for them. A former resident of Nepal named Ganga Ghimirey, who is now living in America, has given us her perspective on how her everyday life used to be.

She stated, “There are some issues that lead Nepal to experience more hunger. It is not just the earthquake, but it’s the government that is not doing enough for the country. One of the reasons is that the government betrays Nepal, by not handing out the full funds other governments send for the people there, who have experienced a tremendous loss and hunger from the 2015 earthquake. Corruption is happening in Nepal.

I agree with Ganga Ghimirey. The government is not really helping Nepal the way it should be helped!ABC News tells us that there has been a delay in rebuilding the houses. I am also a citizen of Nepal, although I now live in America. Based on my point of view, I haven't really seen the people of Nepal liking the government because the government hasn't brought any feelings of security. The police in Nepal beat the people there. It is unfair to beat a person really badly that they almost die!

According to Ganga Ghimirey the president there is changed in various different months and years, so it really is a bad influence on the people there. There is not a fixed date for election in Nepal. The election in Nepal has been rescheduled.

Ganga stated, "If election date is going to be rescheduled many times then it is extremely bad for the country because the president doesn’t have enough time to reduce or lower down the rate of hunger in Nepal, and even if he did have the time to do something big for the country I don’t think he will do anything really big and helpful for the country based on what I have experienced and still see today!"

Why should there be laws and a president if those laws don’t positively impact the country and if the president doesn't bring happiness to the country?

Because of the earthquake, more than 7,000 people have died and more than 15,000 people have been injured. The World Food Program U.S.A (WFP) has been importing some food to Nepal.

WFP has been a lot of help to the people of Nepal, but I think we as people, who live in the United States should need to stand up instead of sitting down and help Nepal by actually buying foods and importing it to Nepal or maybe donating some money for the victims of the earthquake and hunger. If some people can’t do that, then please share things about what is happening in Nepal.

It is important that people share this information because it brings more awareness to people who haven’t heard about it. This injustice might continue like it has been if it is not told to the people around you.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
