We are the 99%

Some worrying major concerns are going on right now in the streets and it is spread worldwide, but it is about to dry up. Occupy Wall Street is a movement against government's greed and corruption towards us, ripped off middle class. These protesters proclaim themselves as '' the 99%''. I think we're all part of this 99 percent, and I admire people who bother to take their time, energy and money to protest. Here is an insteresting link for you to browse.

In Saskatoon last week, the tiny encampment dropped from 30 to only a dozen because of the temperature  cooling down. At other place like in Ottawa, some people gave up over philosophical conflicts. Sadly, most of the participants abandoned the movement because they had to deal with people affected by mental health issues that were taking over the wealth appropriate distribution. Moreover, two deaths encountered since the beginning the protests, one in Vancouver and the other in Oklahoma City. Therefore, people part of the 1 percent, seeking any opporunity to draw an end to the movement, take advantage of these unfornatunate mishappenings.

 It is really sad that the message probably won't even have been worth it because of all the things that came to affect the 99% of people that actually care about a change because they will have shut down the activities for the bad reasons. I am worried about my future now that I know that eventually there might be no bridge anymore beetwen middle and poor class and that rich people will own the power that we deserve over us, because they will have exploited us.

What are your thoughts about this movement?

College life

This post is not intended to get pitied on, it is simply intended to praising the merits of us guys, particularly overwhelmed college students!!


In my opinion, college time is one of the most very important period of a lifetime where most of us get to know themselves as grown ups and start their adult lifehood alone, or with their loved one. We have to make an important amount of choices that will affect the rest of our lives and and follow us in a way. Some of us have to quit their families, friends and pets in order to get this college education done. All of a sudden, those people have to learn how to cook, how to clean, how to shop how to be a college student,  how to combine making money, managing keeping a healthy social life and going to school and how to live on their own. On top of that, there are some hard break-ups to get through, rough patches to go through, some sleepless nights in order to fulfill every teacher's desire. Furthermor,e you still wanna keep smiling and keep some moment to take care of yourself. For those who don't own a car, they have to care about getting a ride home every now and then when they need their home to comfort them.

In short, college time is when means stepping out of your confort zone and starting all over while keeping your head up to the challenge. Congratulations guys, we're five weeks from having the third quarter of college done!


''The truth is, I don't really like to think about college. Cause that means high school's over.
After graduation, everyone will probably go play basketball. Or sing or start record labels, -and I'll have to start all over. Alone. I'm sure I'll be fine. But like I said, I don't like to think about it.''
