You Need To Hear What I'm Saying

This Is A Politically Charged Article
PNGall

This is a politically charged article.

I am using my rights for freedom of speech to make my followers uncomfortable. Some of you may agree with my wholeheartedly, while others will make valid, and not so valid points in the comments. I may talk about the election and what may or may not be, but let this be known. I. Am. Angry.

I am angry because this country has such divided opinions and everyone is pointing fingers at one another. I may look to the liberals to blame, or the democratic agenda, or the extreme conservatives. I am going to mention something about white privilege, what it is like to live in a society where a minority such as being a woman, in the LGBTQ community, or a race that isn't white is being oppressed- because they are. I may be a white male that is saying what I believe in and I might be terribly wrong, or I may be right. I will dismiss others opinions because this is my article and this is what I believe in.

Fingers are being pointed at me.

I am getting hate in the comments, I am trying to get my point across while others are telling me every other viable option. Caps lock is probably turned on. There are people scrolling right now, reading this article, and wondering why they even clicked on it. I am very politically charged.

Sound familiar?

We are tearing this country apart.

Everyone is angry at what is going on. Minority groups and those that are left out are cry, screaming out at this election.

I have scrolled through many Facebook Newsfeeds of mine that have all consisted of something that resembles what is above. Whether it is someone telling to who to vote for, who to not vote for, or not to vote at all, they all still have the same tone.

Politically charged and angry.

Angry about what this country is being boiled down to, angry with themselves, angry at laughing when the candidates first took the stand, angry at America.

But instead of being angry, we all need to just think about what is best for us, and what is best for our country. I know it is getting down to the wire, and we are scared. We are scared of what is to come for our country. Our country that we say is the best in the world, and that we would do anything for.

We are in the land of the free and the home of the brave. So let's be brave and stand together.

Go vote in this election.

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

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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!)
