An Open Letter To Society About The Dangers Of Money

Dear fellow humans,

Our world is run by money. People work to earn it and work to spend it. People fight, scream, cry and die over money. Doesn't that sound silly? But when you think about it, you've fought for your money. If you ever got ripped off on your paycheck or were not paid the right amount, you probably screamed and cried because you were upset. That's not all money does.

Money is love of no limits. People love money, sometimes more than living humans. Love in itself is a crazy thing. People will do "whatever" it may be in the name of loving money.

Money harms and destroys. It tears families, friendships, and relationships apart. It can harm people physically, mentally, and emotionally. On a larger scale, wars between countries have begun over monetary disputes. Why do people wish death upon others for money? What good does that do?

Money is greed. People want more and more. There is no end. In today's society and especially in the economy, being greedy with money is common. Every aspect of life revolves around it, resulting in selfishness and the dramatic occurrences we all become acclimated too.

We only wish for peace with one another in terms of money. But until then, every dollar, every cent, means someone out there will "die to have it."

Sincerely,

a fellow human

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.
