An Open Letter To Society About The Dangers Of Money

Dear fellow humans,

Our world is run by money. People work to earn it and work to spend it. People fight, scream, cry and die over money. Doesn't that sound silly? But when you think about it, you've fought for your money. If you ever got ripped off on your paycheck or were not paid the right amount, you probably screamed and cried because you were upset. That's not all money does.

Money is love of no limits. People love money, sometimes more than living humans. Love in itself is a crazy thing. People will do "whatever" it may be in the name of loving money.

Money harms and destroys. It tears families, friendships, and relationships apart. It can harm people physically, mentally, and emotionally. On a larger scale, wars between countries have begun over monetary disputes. Why do people wish death upon others for money? What good does that do?

Money is greed. People want more and more. There is no end. In today's society and especially in the economy, being greedy with money is common. Every aspect of life revolves around it, resulting in selfishness and the dramatic occurrences we all become acclimated too.

We only wish for peace with one another in terms of money. But until then, every dollar, every cent, means someone out there will "die to have it."

Sincerely,

a fellow human

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
