Society Needs To Evolve

The violence needs to stop and together we can make it end.

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.

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.
