We've Talked. Now Let's Do Something.

How many more deaths do we need to show us that there is a problem?

We've Talked. Now Let's Do Something.

Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora and now Orlando. How many more people have to die for america to realize that we need to fix this. 13 year olds should not be able to get a gun just as easily as getting their license to drive. These 4 mass shooting combined have well over 100 people that have died for a senseless reason.


Their should be no questions about how many more it will take for the people to do something. It should only be a question of when.

All the people that died were someones sibling, parents, significant others, friends and even children.

Their deaths should'nt be something that america just sat idle by to watch. Unfortunately they were but we as a nation can change that for future mass shootings. Of course while hoping they will never happen again but unfortunately it is likely that they will happen but at the most less often.


In this case their are several websites to get more information on gun control.

To name a few.

Please talk to your local officials about gun control. This mens facebook them, tweet them, email them and write them a letter telling them enough is enough. Several states in the United States still allow you to carry a gun without a license. Here is a link to a map telling you if your state is one of them.

Enough is enough.

No more deaths, just love.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
