i feel like this little reminder is really necessary right now. this is a little cheesy and sentimental, but it’s so important. as you know, there have been some horrid things happening throughout our world recently. the killing of christina, the mass shooting of the gay nightclub in orlando, the rape of the unconscious woman, the syrian refugee crisis, and so many other awful things that happen day-to-day such as suicide and terminal illness. all of these things are undeniably awful and i for one have been personally saddened by all of them. when events like this happen, many people become affected. many people become hopeless. many people become lost. if the event is horrible enough, some people even lose their will to stay alive.
for any of you that are feeling alone, upset or forlorn… i want you to understand that this world is a beautiful place despite what has been happening lately. there is so much wonder and pure beauty in this world, even though it can be hard to see. in times like this, i want everyone to remember that you are loved and that there are so many great things in store for you + the rest of your life. in times like this, keep in touch with what keeps you going, whether it be a band, a role model, your friends and family, anything. in times like this, look after others and hold on to your hope. these times do not last forever.

so i just spent $355 dollars paying for standardized tests i need to take to apply to graduate school. for 2 tests. i’m salty as hell because its not cool that schools require you take these tests to apply, then the testing institutions can charge whatever they want because you have to take the test. more proof regarding how its hard for poor people to pursue a higher education, keeping them poor

everyone in the world is either a democrat or a republican. everyone in the whole wide world is a democrat and a republican and america is the largest and most populous country in the world and america is easily the most culturally diverse country in the world because the middle class white people in my state (like a little country) are very different than the middle class white people over there (another little country, once more called a "state") and you could never understand how bad it is in america, the main country in the world. where are you from again? it's bad in america and america is bad but the way that america is run is the only way a country could possibly be run unfortunately. i don't like it but it's the only right way for a country to be run and you don't get it because the main victims of the main country are all here and you aren't. where are you from again? they never told me about that place. i don't think you get that real people live in america. probably because you're a republican. real people live in america and real people are hurt by america but what can you do? god said america has to be like this. god said this because god is real so god is american. you don't get it because you're over there and we're all here in america, the realest country in the world. where are you from again? how can you talk like this with what's happening in america? you're a democrat, right? where are you from again? my country is so large it stretches over yours and presses down hard. it's not my fault that they never told me about that place. my country covers the world. you don't understand how bad this will be for real people in the real world, the first world, the only world. they never told me—where in america are you from again?

One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.
