Satire On Narrative: How I Learned To Let Go Of Things And Treat People As A Means To An End

Forgotten and stressed as I found myself, I learned how to let go of things.

Satire On Narrative: How I Learned To Let Go Of Things And Treat People As A Means To An End

I realized that I have power in this world, a power that is unfounded by anyone else: I am a writer.

I get to express myself and put emphasis on me and my story

Born to an untroubled past, I find it hard to get anyone to listen to me properly. I envy people who have had hardships in the past, how their character has grown and changed over time. Then, I realized something: I can live vicariously through other people, treating people as if I have lived with them. Not only does this secure me as an empath, as I am able to understand other people's hardships and feelings, but this gives me character development. I am able to adapt other's perspectives as my own. Not only does this give other people meaning within my worldview, but it also creates these people as my worldview.

I learned to let go and write

I found myself troubled and alone in this world, I had nothing to grasp. My life is just too perfect for this horrible and cruel world. With this perfection that I possess, I decided long ago that I would become a famous writer. I can't just become a lowly writer, I must become famous as I need to impact as many numbers as I can. I have made so many friends these past few years, and using their stories in my writing creates a flavorful combination of words that attract many different types of readers. I need to appeal to multiple people at a time.

Writing has given me a special privilege in this world

As a writer, I receive little to no financial support (besides the checks in the mail that my parents send me every semester), so, in lieu of an income, I expect the world do me favors. I know there is a God out there, and since I am writing scripture, He will bend the free will of others in order to give me convenience. No one truly knows how important my influence on this world will get.

The objectification, the materialism of my work cements it as a true work of art. I am a product of my time, and I will produce as much as possible in order to make a deadline. I will get my head start in any way possible, even if I have to post on a predatory forum.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
