With trolls, cancel culture, and the general war-zone that is Twitter, it can sometimes feel dangerous to share an opinion. I remember going to a book reading about conflict in this age and I immediately realize that there's conflict in many of our lives, even if you didn't know.

I've always been a person to write off mean comments on my looks or "my questionable choices", but I've seen that the cruel words of an anonymous troll can turn someone into an argumentative monster. Nowadays, it seems impossible to have a productive conversation on any big issue, especially in the world of social media. However, not for this channel.

Jubilee is a YouTube channel that promotes conversation with so many different shows filled with deep content that honestly can be quite inspiring. One example and the inspiration behind this article is their show called "Middle Ground".

"Middle Ground" is a show where two sides of a specific topic, for example, feminists and non-feminists, will talk around topics and have prompted statements to guide them. They start on opposite sides of the room with a circle in the center. If the prompt applied to them, the person would come and sit in a circle and discuss what that prompt means to them.

The reason why I find this channel and this series so great is because it emphasizes something that seems lost in the world, especially on social media: conversation. Clear conversation, not ones filled with yelling or trying to "win", but actually trying to understand one another. There's something powerful about this type of dialogue, especially coming from polarized sides. Yet in a world where we live in constant competition to have the most likes or the most followers, it's no longer what you're saying, but how many people hear it. There's so much more value in a conversation, a productive communication. That's why I say everyone should check out Jubilee. To be inspired to share and to be inspired to learn.

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.
