Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever

Forever wondering when the economy is in a surplus or shortage.

Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever
bezinga.com

Economics has to be literally the worst subject ever. Seriously, you wouldn't think it would be that hard (oh, but it is). You start with some simple concepts learning who are the consumers and who are the producers. You know, the people who buy stuff and the people that sell it. Everything is going swell, you even understand surpluses and shortages. But then... there's math and equations and literally it all hits the fan.

You manage to pass your microeconomic class... oh but you have to know about macroeconomics. To tell you how relevant this class is to my business administration degree, my father who also has a business administration degree can only tell you that he learned about the bird's view and worm's view of the economy. If only my college professors made it that simple.


Somehow in macroeconomics I had to figure out what would happen if this producer produced this amount of money or who would have the comparative advantage (okay comparative advantage is easy) but that's not the point. Seriously, there's even MORE math and MORE equations I have to know. Honestly accounting is more pleasurable than both of these classes combined.

Now here I am, two years later sitting in an International Economics class. I thought it would be cool to get "international" thrown into my degree, so I have to take basically the same classes I've already taken, but just with the fancy international spin on it. To keep this very long story short: I am literally the only student in that class who isn't specializing in economics. You know the kind of people who are good at economics? Only the people that get a degree in economics. My teacher has even made comments on why I don't join in on discussion days. This is why:


This is literally all I know and why I hate economics. Oh, and if any of my professors read this, I'm sorry I love you but I hate econ <3. Much love, peace, and less econ.

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.
