Dear Money, I Hate You

Sincerely the girl who just wants to love life for what it is worth

Dear Money, I Hate You
ABC News

Dear Money,

You make people ugly. You make people think they need material objects instead of experience. You make society think that love has a price. And for all these things and more I hate you.

I hate the way people become ugly when you (money) is involved. Dollar signs now fill peoples eyes instead of the compassion filling peoples' hearts. Why not give that homeless man a few dollars? Is it really fair to say that he is going to buy drugs with it? Maybe just maybe he is lonely and wants 3 minutes of you time but instead you keep walking by with your head up acting like you never saw him. Money I hate the way you divide this country. We are are human; we should want the best for those who also inhabit this Earth with us.

I hate the way that you make people only feel worthy only when they have a lot of money. Because I can promise the best souls are worth more money than anyone could ever have the amount of cash for.

I hate the way a pay raise is chosen after an experience of going on a vacation.

I am so sorry this article seems so negative, I just think we need a wake up call because the people around us are not always going to be there and we only have one life. So stop worrying about the dollar. Take that vacation. Take a few days off to spend with your cousins. Take a minute and go outside to smell the flowers instead of downloading a flower wallpaper on your phone.

Living > money. Realize this!!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
