“Money is the key to happiness”, this is something that most people hear at least once a day. The real question is if this statement is true. Most people agree because they think that even if the money doesn’t make them happy that they can buy something using the money that will make them happy. On the website PsychologyToday, Greenberg states that money can most definitely cause people to be happier, but it is not the “key” to a person’s happiness. She also talks about the best way that money can make you happy is when you use your money to take a family vacation or do something nice for someone else.

Some things that most kids, including myself, don’t realize is the stresses and complications that come with the College experience. They can’t wait to get out into the world on their own, but that in itself is the most stressful part in my college life. What most people don’t realize is that when you go off to college that is one of the biggest transitions that you will experience in your life. You have to learn to grow up so fast, pay your own bills and learn how to live without your parents constantly by your side. In the article “What Are the Reasons Why College Life Can Be Stressful”, Kokemuller talks about the many different causes of stress in a College student and what it’s caused by.

Everyone always has that one celebrity, or in my case multiple, that they always wanted to be exactly like them, no matter their behavior. This seems to be the same with video games. When a kid sees a videogame player that is really good at basketball and he never misses, it makes that kid want to be just like him.
