The Effects of Corrupt Government

I see the people around me, living their daily lives, not caring. The most outspoken ones hushed in fear that their actions will be deemed too daring but the truth dared to be revealed. We had no choice (both of our fears exposed) by a new president, a new government where basically anything is a go! Where public schools will purposely be unequal in both education and money measures, and protecting the climate will be replaced by other so-called humanly pleasures, such as sacrificing the Earth and its resources in order to make more money. But the man who thinks he will be rich without the trees is real funny, okay with environmental waste, fraud, and abuse this isn't Ferngully, we will create problems bigger than an ozone hole.

Yes, this man will die rich but impoverished in spirit and soul, unable to become a diamond for he only seen his profit in coal, which is a nonrenewable resource less vital than the air that we breathe, the water we drink, and the food that we eat. You'd think pesticides would be illegal but these are the laws that congress keeps, or should we call it for what it is; legislation constructed for our destruction. We're convinced our government cares because they cover up all the bad with Mc'lovin, our foods contaminated and our minds filled with lies. Our health clearly disregarded because veggies somehow cost more than french fries but I refuse to be deep fried in the evils that make this country "great". I refuse to be standard when the standard nowadays is to hate thy neighbor, the motive to conquer and divide. Realizing that the difference between where I'm from and Flint, Michigan is more than just clean water but an everlasting pride to help those who are unlike ourselves. But until man can do that he will never acquire enough wealth, can't you see where the problem unfolds? Choosing to hate rather than love is basically chasing fools gold.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

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.
