Things I Wish Would Change in American Society

I have a feeling I am not the only one who feels this way.

Things I Wish Would Change in American Society

There are different things that I notice about our society as Americans, and honestly, America is not great anymore. We are a country full of bull headed idiots who somehow cannot figure out how to just work together and actually do something great for once.

1. No one can seem to work together

There are so many people that I see that constantly argue and can never seem to get a single task done. Group members argue over the stupidest things and it can be so frustrating as a person who just wants to get the task done and over with. If people did not talk so much and actually listened to what other members had to say, there wouldn’t be as many arguments and things would actually get done.

2. You cannot say something without someone getting butt hurt

It is so hard to make a joke or be hard on someone without the other crying and calling it a hate crime. The last time I checked, it was not bad for someone to make a joke. People need to grow up and learn to take a joke or constructive criticism. That is just what we do.

3. We cannot come together as a society

Take for example this past election. Sure, no side is ever going to agree, but fighting for hatred with violence is only causing more problems! The world needs to have less hate and we need to just get what we get and not throw a fit. We all need to grow the hell up and work together like adults.

4. People go on rants about things they do not even research

If one more person rants about something that they do not know anything about, I will flip my lid. The next time someone tries to rant about something they do not fully grasp, do not question why I freak out on you. Do your homework.

5. Accusations are flying everywhere

We are all not liars or cheaters or “rats”. Sometimes I wish people would slow down and actually take a look at people and learn all of the facts before they go and accuse someone. This applies everywhere, the workplace, in public or at home.

6. And no one is entitled to anything

So many people walk around thinking that everything is theirs and no one else deserves anything. I see so many children that are raised thinking that the world owes them everything and it is not okay. No one deserves anything and there are hard working Americans that work for everything they have. Try it sometime.

I know this article will get a lot of hate, and it is not geared towards any certain person or persons. I just think that this is something that people can relate to and it is things that I have noticed that I hope someone other than me wants to fix. Rant over.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
