Save Money Pt. 1

Here are some ways you can save money

  • Coupons- You can start couponing, which takes time, but is worth it. Remember to ONLY cut out or get coupons for items you need, as some people spend more money because they buy things they don't need because it has a deal going on.
  • Meal Plans- Take the time to home cook and meal plan everything out, as it saves money to cook at home and because you already know what you'll be eating, you can maybe find good deals on the items you'll have to buy.
  • Shop In Season- When Shopping for veggies and fruits, shop in season. They'll be much cheaper then they'll ever be because they are in season.
  • Go Zero Waste- Not only does it help the enviroment, but buying food in bulk saves a lot, as you'll be able to measure exactly what you need without excess food. And almost all high or extra costs of items are due to packaging.
  • Shut Off All The Lights- Remember to shut off the lights, AC, and heat before leaving your house to save on bills.
  • Buy A Wood Burning Stove- I have one and it's saved a lot of money. You can easily chop your own wood from home and use newspaper to help start the fires. This saves on heat bills you'd otherwise have to pay.
  • Use A Clothesline
  • Have A No Spend Weekend
  • Don't Use Cable- Use Netflix, Hulu, or any other service you want alike
  • DO NOT GO GROCERY SHOPPING WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY
  • Buy Generic Food Brands- Some people are brand loyal, which can make you pay more money. But buying some generic food brands or off brands, you'll be saving so much more money.

Projects

Hello lovelies! 

I’ll be starting weird projects like Going zero waste, going full vegan, and different, just out of my comfort zone kind of projects in 2018. I want to feel more confident about myself and feel more accomplished. So, I want to video tape my journey as well as write about it on here. You can subscribe to my channel, Nyxonian, or read about my journey on here. I wanna do some crazy shit or just stuff that I’ve never done before like bungee jumping, taking boxes to animal and homeless shelters, and other stuff like learning how to dance for the first time. 

Let me know if you want me to do anything as I’ll be taking requests. I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do and how far I wanna better myself! :) 

Love, 

Nyx

Life’s not fair in love and murder. I would know that, considering my mom and step-dad were both murdered by my real dad whenever I was eight. I remember how my dad would creep around our family, he’d stalk us from city to city. Maybe that’s the reason why I am who I am. I remember on her death bed in the hospital, my mother told me the evil she saw in me. Why me? I don’t know. 

My father killed twenty-five women by mutilating their organs with a knife while they were tied up. He would also rape them afterwards as the life faded from their eyes underneath him. 

I wonder if he ever felt remorse. 

But I don’t think he did. He was a killer. the big S.K. One thing is for sure, I wasn’t surprised that he was a psychopath...literally. This story that I’m writing is supposed to be about me, but everything started with him. 

I remember one Christmas, They were giving away kittens for free at the grocery store. I was so excited when I brought one home to show my dad. 

He snapped it’s neck while drowning it in the kitchen sink. Of course I didn’t know that until he was arrested by the FBI and he started spewing out all the fucked up shit he did. 

“Lauren!”, was the only thing I heard before being bitch slapped in the face, finally coming to my senses while writing. I rubbed my face and looked up grouchily. 

“Ow, what the fuck Vikky?”

She snarled at me,taking her cigarette out of her mouth as she glanced down at my diary entry. She snatched it out of my hand. 

“What’s this?”

“Viktorea, Give it back!”, I screamed, hearing Jennifer’s door slam shut because of her “annoying” sisters fighting again.

Vikky blew smoke in my face and looked up at me with her angry, brown eyes. She took her cigarette and put it onto the page, catching it on fire at once. She was silent as she threw it outside on the concrete. I held my breath because my sister was a ticking bomb, always. 

“If I ever,” she said, turning around, poking me in the chest with every word, “catch you writing some bullshit again about your father-”

“He’s your father, too!”, I told her, smacking her hand away from me. 

“He was my father Lauren. Then I grew up.” She simply said, as if it explained her rude behavior. I rolled my eyes as she walked away, no doubt going to grab a beer from the fridge. Then, another one. And another one.

“...until you drink yourself to death.”, I whispered into the air to myself. I spaced out staring at the house we had just unpacked and moved into, already trashed with needles and empty bottles. 

Beep Beep

The school bus outside scared the fuck out of me and I grabbed my backpack and walked to the bottom of the stairs, screaming for my sister to come down. 

“Jennifer, come on, school bus here!” 

nothing. 

“Jennifer!”

nope.

“Do you want to walk or what?”

A groggy thirteen year old with uneven self-cut bangs came out of her room, slugging herself down the stairs at the slowest pace ever. She looked at me as if I was Satan himself. 

“Could be worse; Vikky would’ve thrown a pan at you for not coming down the first screech.”, I told her smiling as she squinted her tired eyes at me, clearly not amused. 

“Fuck off.” 

“Alright then.”

Reasons To Become Vegan

Veganism is more than a diet, it’s a lifestyle, and these are reasons why you should become Vegan! Feel free to share this with people.

  • When you use products, eat meat, or dairy products that obviously cause cruelty towards animals, you’re encouraging this behavior. Could you imagine watching your dog or cat being slaughtered and beaten to death just for some kind of sick enjoyment? Now I’m not saying you should just change your diet, but I mean your lifestyle. Its more than meat and more than dairy products. It’s daily products you use that are testing on animals. I dare you to search up pictures of animals being breed and tested on with the products you most likely use.
  • You’ll start to feel more healthier and energetic. More awake and able to get through the day. Only a few months ago I used products that weren’t animal cruelty free, I ate meat, and I ate dairy products. I don’t even like vegetables, but this diet makes me feel a lot less depressed and better.
  • There’s really healthy and tasty vegan foods. I used to avoid vegan things thinking they’d be completely gross until I became vegan. Even the vegan “chicken” nuggets taste like meat and helped me change and transition over to being vegan.
  • There are different kinds of vegan diets you can follow. I’m a Paris vegan, which means I eat vegan at home, but whenever I go out I try to eat as Vegan or vegetarian as possible because of how hard it is sometimes to find vegan foods at fast food and just restaurants in general.
  • You can save yourself from heart disease which is our number one killer.
  • Save the lives of dairy cows that are killed at 2 or 3 years old because they are not as productive.
  • Save yourself from obesity and obesity related diseases.  
  • Meat is worse for global warming than cars
  • The hormones in meat and in diary that can cause you sickness and disease.
  • The grain used for livestock could feed the world’s hungry
  • If it’s wrong to eat a dog, it’s wrong to eat a chicken.
  • Scientific research shows that vegans are the healthiest group of people on earth.
  • Animals are a someone, not a something for us to use and treat however we please.
  • Animals don’t get a choice
  • The antibiotics in animals that are eaten
  • Do you really want to support animal abuse?
  • You go from being a life taker to a life saver
  • Lower risk of Diabetes
  • Lower cholesterol level than meat eaters
  • Lower blood pressure
  • “Think about the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight”
  • There are so many alternatives you can use when you become vegan
  • Something new and healthier, a better diet even if you don’t want the lifestyle that comes with being Vegan
  • Your eyes will be open to what you’ve been shutting out
  • Baby male chicken, after hatched, and identified as male, are taken on a converter belt where they’ll fall into a shredder and be chopped up into bits because they were born male. This happens to 22 million and most likely more chicks a year.
  • This quote: “You shouldn’t assume I’m a bad person just because I’m not vegan!” “Actually, I’m trying to convince you to become vegan because I assume you’re a good person. That’s just an assumption though.”
  • Because you alone can make a difference, you just have to make your move.

Criminal Justice Online Degrees

So I'm not a very social person and I have horrible anxiety, so I wanted to do online college. I got interested into CRJ and now that it's my senior year, I've been looking for colleges that had said online degrees. What I noticed is that a lot were hybrids or they cost so much money I might as well go to a college in-person. So I started researching different degrees that are at least 8,000 and down ranging from an AS, BS, and a MS as I want to eventually get my Master's degrees as well.

 Associate of Science degree in CRJ:

  • $2,074 Penn Foster College
  • $3,897 Ashworth College
  • $3,800 Aspen University

Bachelor of Science degree in CRJ:

  • Again, Penn Foster as they only have one annual tuition 
  • Again Aspen, same price

Master of Science degree in CRJ:

And finally Aspen Uni as the same price as it always is.

This is my own personal plan-

  • AS & BS - Penn Foster
  • MS - Aspen Uni

Total Cost= $7,948

Mistakes

While going or at least slowly trying to become fully Vegan I’ve made some mistakes. 

-Without checking food labels and assuming something is Vegan because most of the things are 

-Going out to eat and trying to eat Vegan stuff, before giving up, and eating things that I know aren’t Vegan 

-Not asking questions 

-Not doing research

Accidental Vegan Foods

So transitioning to being Vegan is kind of hard because I’m only sixteen, my family are not Vegan, and would definitely not change anytime, like ever soon, and trying to figure out a grocery list that works for me, but is on a budget. Cause we broke. 

So you can do what I’m doing, which I get Soy Milk while my family gets normal milk. But, there are a few food items I’ve noticed that we can share because they’re both accidentally vegan and something they’ve eaten or would eat.

Here is my list of accidental vegan foods: 

  • Golden Grahams
  • Kellogg’s Mini Wheats Unfrosted
  • Unfrosted Poptarts
  • Cap’n Crunch
  • Oatmeal 
  • Quaker Life Cereals 
  • Fruity Pebbles 
  • Probably many more cereals, which you can easily look up to see if they’re vegan 
  • Dr. Pepper
  • Coca-Cola 
  • Pepsi
  •  Kool-Aid 
  • Monster Energy Drinks 
  • Fruit by the Foot
  • lay’s potato chips
  • Skinny pop popcorn 
  • Salsa

This is a story I want to write chapter by chapter on here: Sarah Fayette was a normal girl, with a normal life, but what most people didn't know, is that she was being watched. A predator waiting to strike his prey and one day, he did. Seven years later, Sarah's younger sister, Niki, now twenty-three, wants to catch this predator, especially when they realize he has a new target: Nicki. With new found evidence and notes that he leaves her while he watches her, she finally has hope that maybe Sarah is still alive...but she herself now has to deal with the predator that took her sister seven years ago.
