Giving Plasma

College students are known to need money and most of the time they desire quick money. College students usually don't have time to pick up a full time job so getting quick and easy cash is almost a dream. Plasma clinics know this fact. 

 They also know people outside of college students that are looking for easy cash. These people are the poorer people in rural areas. This where the plasma set their location. They want to be around as many college or poorer people as they can. Plasma donor can make up to 75 dollars a donation.

  Donating plasma sometimes is safe; however, over a period of time it can wear out the body. They can have collapsed veins or it might take longer duration to find veins for donation, especially in people who regularly donate. 

 The donation center does not allow a patient to leave unless they are physically fit, and these conditions might make them stay back longer. The rates here start at $50 but $55 for students. The first few times you go but $25is always added when you refer someone else. Then after about five visits you get $25 dollars and an extra $5 dollars if you’re in school. 

 The whole thing is about making money, creating desperate people to go to desperate measures in order to save their health.

On this very day I am.

A few days ago I felt so uncertain. I felt overwhelmed that my life may not actually turn out the way I desire it to. The next day I tried to keep myself busy in order to delay the thoughts of negativity. Then yesterday, I felt like things were actually getting better and although my busy schedule didn't change I don't feel as sad and unsure. Today, well today was the best day. It was full of laughs and certainty. This is hard. This roller coaster ride is not something I want to be on forever. My life motto is everything happens for a reason. Everything won't be peachy but I know it will have a reason behind it.
