9 Things I Would Do If I Ruled The World

Did you know that water covers around 70% of Earths’ surface and we have only discovered 5% of that?

9 Things I Would Do If I Ruled The World
Sara Riaño

What would be the one thing you could wish happen to you? I know what mine is and that would be to rule the world, with the ability to do anything I wanted. I believe this is better than any amount of money or any super power, and I would definitely use it to my advantage, and yours too of course! So, here is what I would do:

1. Free chocolate

It’s healthy to have some chocolate every once in a while, so why not make it free? It’s the perfect midnight snack as well.

2. No zoos

I don’t know about you, but I believe that animals should be kept in the wild where they are supposed to be. You would not want to be taken from your home and put in captivity, would you? So, FREE THE ANIMALS!

3. Safety

I would work my hardest to give everyone a place to live and a sense of security in their lives! Giving everyone shelter is also giving them safety, because living on the streets is no home for anyone.

4. Free (cheaper) education


As an education major myself, I do not see the reasoning behind such a high priced college education. Most colleges kids go to; they are paying off student loans for 10+ years after they graduate! That is ridiculous, and if I could take away this problem I would do it in a heartbeat. Everyone deserves an education, no matter how much money you have.

5. Put money towards discovering things we haven’t yet

Did you know that water covers around 70% of Earths’ surface and we have only discovered 5% of that? That is INSANE! Who knows what is out there or down below in the deep blue sea. I have always been fascinated in exploring what we have not seen yet and this would be pretty fantastic. There would probably be millions of new species discovered during this as well!

6. Parks in every neighborhood

As a young child, I remember playing on the playground every single day and my parents begging me to come home when the street lights came on. For young children today, I feel like they are so consumed by social media and technology. So, I would like to create more unique playgrounds for kids to enjoy near their homes or neighborhoods!

7. Get rid of cigarettes

As I get older, I realize how kids my age and even younger are starting to get in the habit of smoking cigarettes. I have also had family members become addicted and I believe it is one of the biggest problems in our society today. Getting rid of them would be amazing! Don’t you agree?

8. Make books free

Reading can really help your education, so making books free would just allow kids to read more and not have to worry about the prices tagged along with it!

9. Get rid of stereotypes

Our society is based on stereotypes and judgment. Getting rid of the stereotypes that make people separate in society could bring us all together to make a stronger group of people I believe! Who needs stereotypes when you have free chocolate, am I right?

Now, I know if you ruled the world you would probably have your own interesting ideas! But, here are some of mine and I hope this opens your mind to help you think about yours!

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
