Thursday, April 20th - commonly referred to as 420 - was the annual unofficial celebration of cannabis for the nation’s marijuana users and supporters. Many people used the day to argue for marijuana decriminalization and legalization. Nevada’s own Dina Titus tweeted in support of protecting the marijuana business.

One standout tweet came from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) National account who tweeted a “Happy 420” along with a few of their stances on marijuana and drugs in general.

One twitter user replied to the tweet saying that he agreed but that their tweet implied that drugs with no practical medical application, like meth and heroine, would also be allowed. ACLU then quoted the tweet reiterating that their position was that “all drug use should be decriminalized”.

The ACLU did not tweet more support for the topic at the time. Their website, however, contains some support for their position on decriminalizing all drugs, but support for the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana is more present and focused on in their fight for drug law reform.

The American Civil Liberties Union works to “defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States.” It has recently gained more attention for its case stopping Trump’s original travel ban.

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.

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.
