This World Is Corrupt
Google

We discovered the world through a text book, raised not to make a difference in this world, raised to be no different. Smart enough to do our job, but not to question why we do it. There are so many things that need to be done and need to be fixed. This world is so corrupt it hurts my heart to live in it.

The rapists think they are entitled and can blame the victim for alcohol abuse. The second amendment has been destroyed through all the mass shootings and innocent deaths and the people have the nerve to blame it on guns. The racism, gender inequality, sexual orientation, and assumptions of people is ruining the freedom. The vehicles think they own the road making bikers scared to go for a bike ride due to possibly not making it back home alive. The possible future presidents are down to Hillary and Trump and there's nothing more Americans want to do then leave the country. The greatest icons in the world all passed away within a week of each other leaving everyone lost. The fact that animals are still being used for entertainment alone and being killed by humans because of humans mistakes, is a whole issue in itself. And how the people think "sharing" the post about the incident is going to bring awareness and fix everything.

This world is corrupt. People don't understand how to be inclusive. People don't understand person first language & it's hurting others more than they realize. People say the younger generations are all babies when all they want is pure respect and they are not quitting until they get that. People don't understand that not everyone is a hundred pounds and curves are actually more beautiful then a stick. People don't understand that not everyone is lucky enough to have their parents help with money related things and that some people have to work for their rewards. People don't understand that not everyone is like them but that's the beauty of the world.

This world is corrupt. We work 9 to 5, eat, shower, sleep, repeat. We lose faith spiritually and physically in others. We lose sight of what our values are and then lose ones closest to us. We sit around hoping someone else is going to do something but realize that everyone thinks that way and now nothing is getting done. People complain and think that's going to fix it. But the world doesn't need to be corrupt. If you believe in making a change, have values and beliefs, and want a better world to live in, then you need to do something. You need to be the change. You need to find that social issue you are passionate about, you need to commit yourself to that social issue, you need to find others with that same common purpose and collaborate to work towards being the change, and then that corrupted world will be one less social issue away from the better world.


So, what would happen if everyone cared? For instance, a woman witnessed three children killed during a political turmoil. Within two days of the tragic event, she obtained 6,000 signatures petitioning for peace. She then led 35,000 people on a peace march to the children's graves. This woman, Betty Williams, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This is just one example of how this now iconic woman found something she was passionate about and made a difference. There are so many other iconic people out there that started as one person who wanted to make a change and did it. They were just like you and still found a way to do more than just "share" it. No more blaming the inanimate objects, the government and officials, the friends and family. The world is corrupt because the people are. Be the change.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
