8 Reminders That Love Trumps Hate
CNN

After a shocking and frightening election result, it can be hard to remember that there is still good in the world. As Obama said, "The sun will rise in the morning." Here are a few things that prove that truly, love trumps hate.

1. This video of a little girl inspiring us all to be better people.

She's unafraid to speak her mind, regardless of her age, gender, and race, and inspiration to us all.

2. People wrote love notes to America at a subway station.

A reminder that not everyone in the world is so bad.

3. A gay man proposed to his boyfriend after Election Day.

4. Hillary Clinton's speech that reminds us that all hope is not lost.

Even though she may not be the first female president, we'll make well sure that there will be a female president soon.

5. This pug that proudly declares his love for "bones over bigots."

"Pugs Against Trump" seriously needs to become a movement asap. Love and cute pugs, what more do you need?

6. Children wrote sweet messages to Hillary Clinton in chalk outside of her headquarters.

The messages include everything from simple, heartfelt thanks, to restatements of her campaign slogan.

7. This community got together to get rid of the racist vandalism on one family's property.

After the Phillips' family property was covered in racist, hateful, and obscene language, the community got together to help them out and show solidarity with them.

8. After a young Muslim girl was scared by Trump's Islamophobia, these vets reminded her that they would protect her.

Using the hashtag #IWillProtectYou, army vets pledged that they would not let their citizens feel unsafe.

No matter how terrible it seems to get, there are always people in the world who are actively trying to make it a better, safer, and more accepting place. If you can't find a helper, be one. And remember, that we are always stronger together.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
