Society Needs To Evolve
Now Here This

I’m tired. I’m upset. I’m sad. I’m angry. I’m tired of all of the needless deaths. The discrimination that happens to people everyday. The obvious racism and sexism in today’s world. I’m so tired of it. People aren’t treated equally. There is no fair treatment and the love that is supposed to be around is few and far between.

I’m upset that no one feels safe especially minorities. I’m upset that some people support this and don’t want them to feel safe. I’m upset that some people don’t care. That it’s just looked over. Those are the same people that would be upset and indignant that they were looked over. I’m upset over all the hypocrisy that part of society is showing.

I’m sad that people are killed for no reason. That acts of terrorism are happening and killing so many. I’m sad that racial stereotypes are causing people to be killed daily. I’m sad over all the deaths. I’m sad that everything in the news is about senseless murders. People who didn’t need to be killed. They had families and friends who are now devastated.

I’m angry that society hasn’t evolved enough for everyone to think this is not okay. I’m angry there isn’t more peace in the world and acts of terrorism are happening more often. I’m angry that these things have to he said because people still belittle so many things.

I cannot imagine how these families feel whose family member was killed due to racial stereotypes. I’m sorry about how unsafe you feel by just going outside. I cannot imagine how the families of the 84 people who were killed in Paris feel. Terrorism is a deplorable act and I am sorry for your loss.

By not doing anything or saying anything, you are letting racial stereotyping happen. You are not helping anyone learn and evolve that skin color does not describe how someone will act. Everyone needs to an equal chance.

Everyone needs to come together against terrorism. It’s unacceptable and devastating. It doesn't need to be worried about. It should not even be a thing. I hope this reaches someone who needs it or wants to learn.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
