I'm gonna let you finish but...

A rant to Kanye.

I'm gonna let you finish but...

Dear Kanye,

I'm gonna let you finish but... you're the worst.

From hating on Taylor Swift to asking for money via Twitter from Mark Zuckerberg, you are such an interesting person. I wonder if you have any concept of the real world, and if you know any current events. Recent pictures of Kim Kardashian don't count as news.

Declaring you are 53 million dollars in debt is not acceptable in any way, because you aren't. Just because you invested in a failed fashion line because people don't want to buy $800 sweatpants does not mean that the creator of Facebook owes you money. Leave the poor guy alone. Did you know people in Central America have to live off of $2 a day? Do you know the suffering that is happening right now in Syria? Those are the people who need financial help, not you. If you want to dress your family in furs and buy expensive cars, that's your call, but going around asking for money when you don't need it is a crummy thing to do. And to top it off, it's nobody's fault but your own that your fashion line was a failure.

Also, you should probably get to know your children. You have multiple now, and it never seems like you are with them. Do you know their favorite food? Do you know what time they go to bed? You should stop tweeting for a second to see what kind of children you are raising. Would you want your child to read your Twitter rants? Do you think they would be proud of that? Maybe even put some of your fur money toward their future education.

What happened to your humbleness, Kanye? I bet you were humble at the beginning of your music career. You probably took into account every single penny that you came in contact with, and now you have too many, so you forgot the value of them. When I listen to your early music (and yes, as a white female I have listened to some of it) you seem clever, but not angry. Now you seem angry and ranting, and when I listen to your music, I hear a muddled vision for the future. I hate to burst your bubble, but you are not the future president, you are not the most innovative artist out there, and you won't ever be someone I admire.

Kanye, it seems like you want to be a call to change, which I respect, but you need to do it in a more positive way. Having a 12-minute lecture/rant on stage at a concert is just agitating people, not helping whatever social change you want to have.

And please, please, please stop tweeting. Conflict in the Middle East needs to be televised more, not your tweets that don't make any sense.

Sincerely,

A white female you probably dislike

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
