9/11: A Day That Will Never Be Forgotten
Google

Fifteen years ago when I was only 3-years-old, the world changed forever. It appeared to be a normal Tuesday morning, but 19 terrorists associated with Al-Qaeda had other plans — 2,296 people were killed, and 6,000 were injured on this day. People lost husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, moms and dads.

This day is the worst act of terrorism the world has ever seen. Planes were hijacked buildings destroyed and lives changed forever. It took firefighters 100 days to fully put out all flames caused by the attacks in New York. It took nine months to clean up the wreckage of the World Trade Center. Respiratory problems started developing quickly for those in and around the World Trade Center during and after the attack. This day caused the world to come together as one. Everyone helped everyone.

We can't let this day be forgotten. We as a nation have to bind together again with all of the insight into the mass shootings that have occurred over the past few years. Terrorists are constantly trying to attack other parts of the world. 9/11 is a prime example of this. We have to stay bound together. We have to stop thinking as separates and think as one. To the families who lost loved ones, I'm sincerely sorry. To the world: Never let 9/11 be forgotten. We can do this by:

1. Stopping the fighting for stupid reasons and against each other and come together as one.

2. Praying. Pray for the families affected and lives lost. Pray for the nation. Pray for our leaders.

3. Keeping the story alive. It doesn't need to stop being spread after the generations that experienced it past on.

4. Honoring the day. Every year we celebrate Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, etc. If we can celebrate on those days we can honor this one.

9/11 will never be forgotten.

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.
