The final weeks

In the final few days of this semester, I have become more in touch with myself. I have been learning, slowly but surely, that I can in fact handle a boatload of work. I think the most important thing I learned about myself I that I am capable of anything and that I am proud to be doing what I am. I think it's important for someone my age to find themselves before they move on with their lives.

My feelings on what is going on in Ferguson are simple: Darren Wilson needs to go to jail. I feel like he is getting away with murder. It also feels like the Grand Jury had a secret trial about the case and made the decision that he is not guilty. I'm also SO MAD that people on campus aren't protesting it. I wonder if they don't want to make waves or they just don't know. This is a really important event and will go down in History Books.
I believe the protests are necessary but not rioting. Violence is not the answer here, just as Mike Brown's parents said, and the president said. There is a bigger problem here that is only solved by peaceful conversations and peaceful protests. There is absolutely no reason for the violence that has been going on.
I LOVED what was going on during the Black Friday shopping. Apparently, sales were down 7%, which I think is great. I try to shop small anyway because I think promoting small businesses are really important.
I really don't want to get too into it because I will just get really mad.
