My Generation Doesn't Need The News

c1.staticflickr.com

Sitting down everyday for about 2 hours to figure out how we need to go about our day. We are at a point where we can check our phones and withing 2 seconds know exactly the temperature is outside and the hourly updates just that simple.

So waiting an hour to get the information seems like a bit of a stretch for us. When I get caught watching the news, it honestly is such a constant eye roll because it is the same exact thing over and over in that hour.

I could have read at least 20 articles about more relevant things that affect me and could have been way less bored. I just the new doesn't go into to much of the story line. They show you a video no conclusion just some crazy point in that video.

All I am thinking is what led up to this and what happened. These are the questions the news leaves me. Now if I hop onto Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook take about 5 minutes someone will have solved the entire case with facts to back it up.

This is the number one reason why we are no longer interested in the news. More important things are happening out there. We acknowledge it and want to learn the best way we know how.

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.

how to adult

Twitter

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
