...of being “broke” is the state in which you have no, or very little money. It is also similar in nature to being poor where you lack enough money to live comfortably in society. Being broke is usually a common sight in today’s world where everybody needs to have the newest and most expensive item on the market. They go ahead and purchase it while they’re still in “impulse shopping” mode and when it wears off they wonder where all their money went. People in today’s society judge others based on appearances while walking past each other on the street and the thing the brain judges most is if you have the newest fashion apparel. Or if you have the same old hand-me-downs your brother gave you when you were fourteen. You can become broke...

What a blow to my self-esteem, out of all the years and all the men, I have never walked out on a bill. Look what I’ve resorted to. Sure, I’ve had men not pay, but I would just pick up the bill and never talk to them again. This time was different, I had no income and no way to ensure I could replace what I lose. Back to square one again, I hit up all my usual places (the restaurants, high class hotels, networking events) and come back with only one date. Kevin, a thirty four year old investment banker. Although, he lead with all the right lines. Using words like spoil and take care of. I soon learned that everything that Kevin offered came with a price.

...“How is Your Personal Economy? Abstract The discussion of the book entitled “The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke” by Suze Orman, and “Let’s Get Real About Money” by Eric Tyson is one that measures an individual’s knowledge on how to handle their money and ways to make it grow to benefit them. Key points found in both books deals with a lot of the economic aspects of our society today. By using both books as references and knowledge gained from the microeconomics book, This paper discusses the benefits of both books for one’s overall ability to be financially sound, even if you think you may live in an un-financially sound society. Although, both books are geared toward readers in different stages of their lives, they do bring up the questions of whether or not these individuals understand the concept of money, or how it should be a benefit and not a hindrance, and also that it is truly not the happiness factor for life that several millions believe the case to be. The one idea that should be taken from this paper is the knowing whether or not you are financially healthy enough to fit your needs, goals, and desires. What is an economy? It is a type of management of one’s resources. Whether its money, oil, food, land, or a type of service, knowing how to manage one’s own resources, is key to having a great personal economy, even when your countries’ economy isn’t doing so well. To make it even simpler, when talking about one’s personal economy, I talk about...

...Practical In today’s graduating high school class everyone thinks the same. They are required to do just about everything the same. Students are not taught to think outside the box. By the time they leave high school they are not an individual yet. Yes, they can write a paper but it isn't their own thought. Yes they can spend money, but do they know how to manage and save it. Because of the lack of outside world knowledge, high school should shift to a more practical and individualized curriculum. It would benefit the high school students to learn more practical things because, they need to learn the everyday tasks that are required as adults. When students graduate, most if not all do not know how to balance a checkbook, manage a bank account, or even know how to budget. They need to be taught how to resit the never ending urge to buy something they know they do not need. A money management class will teach them how to be responsible with their money and teach them the benefits of saving. If I had of learned these tools while in high school, I would most likely have a car and my license by mid summer. But because I lack in these traits I will have to save and wait until next march to drive. If they are taught these things they will not have to face the burden of feeling and being unprepared for life. By teaching them time management there would be fewer mistakes made. They would have the proper time to be able to process their thoughts, and write them down for them to be understood...

... Part I: Mom, you know how much I love animals, right? Well, yesterday I just happened to be passing by an animal shelter, and wanted to stop in and take a look at all of those poor dogs that are going to be put to sleep. I know you told me that I couldn’t have any more pets, but there was this one dog; his name is “Butterscotch," and he was scheduled to be executed that same day, and well; I just couldn’t let them stick those huge needles in him, hurting him, and killing him for no reason. Anyway, I hope you don’t mind, but I brought him home with me. You know; I remember you telling me when you were a kid; you did the same thing, so I can’t see how this would be any different from what you used to do. Besides, I’ll take care of him, feed him, and you won’t have to do anything; I promise. If you let me keep him, I will promise to do all of my chores and never argue with you again, please! You know; I was talking to my friend the other day, and she told me that shelters actually like killing dogs, they sell the dog remains to a company that makes dog food out of them. I’m not sure where she heard this, but she loves dogs, so I know she’s right. My friend said they make more money that way, so they really don’t care about these dogs at all; it’s always about people's greed and how much money they can make. If I can save at least one dog from becoming dog food, I would be happy. You never listen to me; you always do what you want to do. You don’t care about...

...look on their face no matter what they were doing which always troubled me. As I stepped out onto the walk towards the parking lot my mind went back to its usual high anxiety state. I began to ask myself how much money will you make today, will you lose money, will you get to greedy like last time and lose it all, will you not play your hot streaks, and will you end up angry afterwards. As I hailed a cab towards the casino and paid the driver for the 15 minute ride, I continued to think about how our society will always revolve around money, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. I always wondered what a world without money would be like, but I could not imagine a world where everyone is equally it did not seem possible. As the driver pulled up towards the front, all I see is rich people continuously trying to show off their money throw their cars and the materials they are wearing. This constant need of always having to flaunt your wealth seemed to be more puzzling to me at this moment....

She gave the wedding ring real value off her finger. What a brave dame! 2. After Melanie was back to Tara with Scarlett after delivering a baby, one day a Yankee soldier broke into their house to rob and even intended to rape Scarlett. Scarlett shot the Yankee to death. Melanie was so brave to hold a sword in hand ready for fighting against the soldier at the same time. She was so brave without any scare when she saw Scarlett shot the soldier saying: “you killed him. I am glad you killed him.” She just delivered a baby not long ago and was very weak. In such a situation, she behaved like a fighter without any fear facing the enemy. What a brave dame! 3.

...Mars expresses the consequences of his decisions throughout different concepts such as broken hearth, regrets and betrayal; also they are represented by using symbolism, irony and metaphor, in order to show his depressive mental state. Firstly “Grenade” by Mars, generalizing about the lyrics of this song, it is about a broken heart guy just got dumped by a girl, who did not love him and made him suffer a lot. The lyrics expressed show that the speaker is very sad and depressed, which are the same to a failure stage in a relationship like every other unhappy couples. The first sentence of this song, which says “Easy come, easy go/That's just how you live oohh” (1-2), makes you immediately think that this is the type of girl who doesn’t view relationship as anything serious, which causes a lot pain and stress for Bruno when he tries to save their failing relationship. The artist says he willingly gave the other person his all in the relationship, he treated her with respect but she instead took advantage of his love. She treated Bruno’s undying love and devotion like a piece of rubbish and threw it away without thinking. This person that Bruno was really into must have been really something to him...

...are three southern gothic books that show southern gothic writing. In “A Worn Path”, “A Rose for Emily”, and To Kill A Mockingbird the authors use the element of horror to scare and surprise the reader. Without a doubt there are many ways to make someone think of what you want them to think of just by using words. Eudora Welty makes you think that someone is going to get killed and that the story will end sad. In “A Worn Path” the main character Phoenix goes on this journey to get her grandson’s medication. Phoenix is an old negro woman, she has hallucinations on her journey and isn’t afraid of anything. This story shows horror being used because on her journey she runs into a young white hunter and his dog. When she is walking, she hears a dog and turns around. The dog then jumps up and pushes her into a ditch. The dog’s owner comes along and helps her up. However,when he finds out where she is going,(into town), he tells her to go home because it is too far. When she refuses to go home he points his gun at her.

...Walgreens Pharmacy. This pharmacy has been around since 1901. The way Walgreens is able to appeal to a wide audience is interesting. (The way they manage as a whole) They make money off of adults and children of all ages. The size of profit income can be different if this skill is changed. Next, the finance is key when running a business. Knowing when you have money, knowing where to spend it, and knowing how to use it can play a big role. Not many people know when the first Walgreens even opened. The history of a company should be one of the things a consumer looks into before wasting their money at that place. Who runs the business, were there any public threats against health, what products can be available in each pharmacy, etc. Therefore, Walgreens way of managing, financing, and history are three key parts of the organization. First, if I had to come up with one word explaining the way Walgreens manages themselves is around adaptability. They simply meet the needs of the audience and target different audience, from selling toys for the kids and medicine for the senior citizens. For example, they appeal to families because with good deals, families can do their shopping in the Pharmacy where they can search for medicines, food, drinks, make up and others types of products. This brings the business money and final consumers are happy. Children would also want to go to Walgreens because they can find snacks, toys, his/her favorite drinks, medice and others. The happy meals plus...

...In a world where money is the driving force of life for some people, is it worth the risk of not getting your college degree? I personally am not biased towards either side. I can think of a lot of benefits and disadvantages to players getting paid. Many people fight against it they don’t think kids should be making that much money because they’re already basically getting a full ride to whatever college they’re attending. Then again it could be the only hope for some kids that grew up with nothing and have enough talent to make it pro and their ultimate decision to go pro is to have money when they had nothing growing up. I also think though that if I were in their shoes I would want the money. I mean who wouldn’t love to be paid to play a...

...Addiction becomes relevant to psychiatry as it enables one to understand how an addict thinks and acts according to his or her condition. If one will be able to evaluate and examine the conditions of addiction with the use of psychiatry, many will be able to come out with solutions and answers to such a problem. Finding solutions would not only help the addcits, be soft or hard, but would also help reduce the incidence of crime in the society. With this, many societies will be able to promote a unified and peaceful community, which are inhabited by productive and unified citizens. Many people say that soft addictions can turn to hard addictions. Once a person begins finding comfort in drinking coffee or staying on social media all the time, you wrap your entire life around it. Others also start their soft addictions by taking in sips of drinks to gain apetite before eating. All these can gradually degenerate in a hard addiction. Making it a psychiatric issue, very difficult to resolve. In their breakthrough work Dying to Drink, Harvard researcher Henry Wechsler and science writer Bernice Wuethrich explore the problem of binge drinking. They state, “Two out of every five college students regularly binge drink resulting in approximately 1,400 student deaths, a distressing number of assaults and rapes, a shameful amount of vandalism, and countless cases of academic suicide” (Wechsler and Wuethrich, 2002). There are many addictions that people are bedeviled with daily. In most cases...
