We Are The Haters

Haters don't have to hate.

We Are The Haters

The only way to stop the haters is to calm the hatred tornado that swirls around inside each one of us every single day. We all must tame the beast within, if we ever hope to conquer hatred overall.

We all have to stop judging others based on small snapshots of their identity. We have to stop feeding off each other's negative critiques.

Everyone's existence is valid and hating on any form of existence is ridiculous, especially since we are all still figuring out how to be human anyway.

Making snap judgments is the root of the hate our generation likes to throw around. People judge others without taking the time to appreciate the perspective of others. If everyone could accept the fact that every point of view is valid, then hate would not exist. We disapprove of the ways people act because we don't realize that everyone has the right to exist in whatever way they please. Everyone's lifestyle is different and everyone has the right to live differently. Everyone's goal in life should be to live uniquely. Be as different as possible. Be yourself.

Judgment does create most of the hatred that's running rampant in today's world. Another way that hatred is spread is through people whom we admire. Hate is contagious. When someone dislikes something, people tend to follow that trend. Basically, hate is trendy. The problem is, people tend to agree with those who we admire, and people we admire tend to hate on certain ways of living. We need to be more individualistic and focus on thinking for ourselves rather than adopting other people's judgments. Validating each other's opinions is very important in order to end this flurry of hatred that seems to be taking this generation by storm.

We all hate, but we can learn to channel that hatred and judgment into productive outlets that breed appreciation for perspectives and different ways of thinking.

We cannot stop the haters until we stop the hater within ourselves.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
