The United States of America on college education
Student: I'm not going to go to college because I don't want to go into debt.
USA: YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU'RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH.
Student: I'm just going to attend a small community college instead.
USA: HAHAHA YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO GET INTO A GOOD UNIVERSITY. ENJOY YOUR MCDONALD'S DIPLOMA.
Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt.
USA: YOU DUMBASS. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT? YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHOOSE A USEFUL MAJOR EITHER. GOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK.

Step 1: Write about people who aren’t white.

You will very rarely see me curse, tumblypoos, but…but…I mean, what the fuck? How is this even possible? This reads like an Onion article.

No Other Way
I wanted her to love me only for myself, not because she felt some strange obligation. I wanted her to love me, not from fear, only because she wanted me, my heart and soul. She wanted to love me, for she felt obligated, she feared losing me, my heart and soul. She wanted to love me, not because her heart, had been stolen; she had given it away.

Promise me, warrior, that you will never give up, never give in, never...

How many friends do you have in your life that will be there for the long haul? That, 10, 20 years from now, you can imagine being in your life? These are the people you need to hold on to. These are the ones you need to cherish, for...
