4 Times We Missed Harambe

I think we all know what I mean when I say the beloved name, Harambe. If not, allow me to explain. When a three-year-old boy climbed into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, an employee of the zoo fatally shot our hero, Harambe. One day after his 17th birthday, our good friend Harambe left the Earth. Whether or not you feel that his death was just or unjust, we will be taking a moment of silence for our departed.

Thank you.

It has become clear that since May, when the late and great Harambe passed away, that he will forever be remembered. A cultural icon was taken away from the Cincinnati Zoo, but also from this world.

So now, let us take a moment to recollect 4 times that we missed Harambe. (Even though we miss him daily and will never forget.)

1. When we were not able to trust Fox News, because they refused to show an accomplished Harambe.


Harambe was a brilliant gorilla, and was even accepted to many high level colleges which included the University of Montana and UCLA. Until this legend is brought back to us, we will not rest. We as a nation cannot rest. As a universe... will never back down! This brings us now to point #2.

2. The pictures taken right before the tragic death of Harambe.

Do not let your eyes fool you! Harambe was a very nurturing gorilla and was willing to raise the young boy who climbed into his enclosure single-handedly. He was heavily inspired by Mowgli and Baloo from The Jungle Book. To be fair, who wasn't inspired by the legendary friendship that was cultivated through Mowgli and Baloo? It was only a matter of time until the three-year-old would be kidnapped and brought to Cincinnati's equivalent of King Louie.

3. Once again, the media was not a trustworthy source, because they have a political agenda against Harambe.

The media does not want you to see this side of Harambe. They will only show you the negative allegations (as per usual) because of their own political agendas. Instead of showing him as the nurturing, loving Harambe that we all remember, Fox News reported this:

It is sickening to think that the media has resorted to stereotypes and racial profiling instead of cold-hard facts.

4. The political consequences of the death of Harambe.

This was not just cold-blooded murder. This was an assassination.

This political assassination was a devastating event and will have a huge impact on the rest of America as we know it.


Now that you know the severity of the situation, let's make it a point to continue missing the one and only Harambe. Let us continue to fight until Harambe sees justice!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
