Choose Your Own Adventure: Homeless Edition

Homeless people: the acne in America’s clean porcelain face. What have the homeless contributed to society? Nothing but taking the money out of American’s already-rich pocket, and used it for what...jobs, education, clothes. Nothing to do with finding a home, and that's because they already have one. Of course, it’s not in America, but on another planet. For years, we as people have passed by the homeless, and wondered why we continue to see the same ones. Haven’t our fifty cents every other twelve months given them enough to spend on something? We need to not focus our time on giving them money, not that that shouldn’t be too hard for many of us, but focus it on finding ways to send them home, or at least out of U.S.

First, we must gather up all the homeless people together. All the Veterans, who have proudly served the country, yet cannot find a home. All the single mothers, who feed their kids, before themselves, and especially all the senior citizens whose family had abandoned them, and often rely on a meager Social Security check to get them from one homeless shelter to another. These people are the worse, and need to be gathered at once. Soon put them on a boat, doesn’t matter how big most of them are dying anyway, and send them to the nearest island possible. We must make sure though that we make sure media, and any access to books, education, as well as anything that could backfire on the U.S. We do not want them to create a society better than ours, and able to kill us just as quickly. That would be embarrassing for America to go down as the country that was killed by the smelly, poor aliens.

This solution would help the parks become more aesthetically pleasing, as well as draw tourist to our beautiful, and now homeless free attractions. No more would we have to see the stupid signs that say ‘Need food ‘or ‘Need Money to make sure my family eats’. Why would we as Americans, who already can’t fix their own problems, try to fix the ones of the actual people who live there. In conclusion, instead of helping the homeless we could just send them away, and help our children see a bright future one where homeless people are just a sad, sick problem that America never fixed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
