I was scrolling through instragram the other day and I realised that our generation is focused mainly on looks. The majority of people does not even look at the caption below the photo, they just like it becouse they like what they see. With time people started to post pictures of themselves on social media. It created a system where the prettier the person is considered to be by a big number of people, the more likes he or she gets. That led to a creation of beauty standards. People want to be seen as beautiful. Therefor, since now it is easy to see who is considered the most beautiful by the number of likes they get, people want to look like the ones whose profiles have the most of them. I feel like becouse of that, nowadays people do not want to bring out what is special/unique in them. They simply try to blend in. People are desperetly trying to fit into one unachivable beauty standard. It makes me sad to think about it becouse what really is beautiful in this world is that eve...

Recently I heard that this year only about 5000 people got into med schools in Poland. That thought made me quite stressed. If out of 30 000 students writing the Matura Exam in field which could possibly help them to become a med student (Matura Exam in biology and chemistry), only 5000 people actually got in, what are the chances that I will make it? Naturally I am aware of the fact that not all these people have to apply to med schools, however the ods are still not in my favour. what happens to the popole who don't get in? Do they rewrite Matura Exam and try a year later or do they decide to change their major? And what if I don't get in? What am I going to do then? Is 16 the right age to think about all that anyways?

One day on my way home I saw about 3 homeless people. I have never seen so many people so clearly in need in such a short amount of time. That got me wondering what is the reason of that occurrence. What causes people to live on a street? I started to think about how lucky I am and the people around me. We often don't realise how fortunate we are to have something warm to eat or to have a cozy bed to sleep in or even to have a roof over our heads. All the goods that inhere us are not dependent on us. It is pure luck and becouse of that we should try to help those who did not get to be so lucky. We should not judge those who happen to be less fortunate than us. We can never truly know what got them to the situation in which they currently are. Did they earn their present state or was it just fate that treated them unkindly?
