11 Organizations You Can Donate To Rather Than Kanye West
Kanye West Twitter Picture

Ah, Kanye West loves Kanye West. And you know what he may love more? Money. Lots of it. Because the man who sells sweatshirts riddled with tons of holes — because that's trendy for thousands of dollars is $53 million in debt and has turned to Twitter to express his struggles.

The words of wisdom that West throws up on his Twitter page is gold. It's the equivalence of a pissed off 13-year-old girl's secret diary who talks about boy troubles and how everyone doesn't understand her. And many of his followers still don't understand him because he really just rants and switches his emotions like a hormonal woman in her eighth month of pregnancy.


Not only this, but West turned to Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, to help pay his debts. A millionaire asking a billionaire for money. And what a perfect way to contact the master of Facebook — by Twitter.

West claims to be the reason as to why so many celebrities have a name in the spotlight. He "owns" some of their wives and children too, or so he claims to on his personal virtual diary.

With a man of this stature, everyone should be crawling and draining their accounts to help him and his desires. Could you imagine living in an average home, driving a decent car or wearing alright clothing? The struggles. The absolute struggles.

Him abbreviating his words and talking like a 14-year-old who is texting rather than writing out his thoughts in full, intellectual words should give him some extra time to try to come up with a financial program to help with his funds.

I've had financial struggles and I'm sure everyone who has bills has had struggles, too. It sucks. Welcome to reality. If you choose to donate to West, that is your choice; I won't tell you how to spend your money by any means. But there are so many other organizations, charities and individuals who are truly in need you could donate your money to.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
