"All you are is mean."

An Open Letter To Bullies Everywhere
Indulgy

Dear Bullies,

You keep trying to bring me down with your words.

You say, "Nobody likes you," or "You have no friends."

You try to bring me down to put yourself up.

You bully me to make yourself feel better.

You try to take away my friends so that I feel isolated.

You try to make me feel depressed and lonely as if nobody is there for me, except you don't realize that what you say can have a lasting effect on me.

You call other people names and insult and demean them for your pleasure.

You do your best to make sure I have nobody, but you don't realize the repercussions your words have.

I never stood up to you out of fear, but I do not fear you anymore. I realize that you're only doing this because you feel bad about yourself so you lash out at other people. I don't think you realize the lasting effect your words have on other people. I have chosen to kill you with kindness and be the bigger person instead of responding to you. I am always going to be kind to you instead of rude or mean back because I know that's exactly what you want me to do.

It's time for all of us who have been affected because of your words to take a stand. Bullying someone is never okay and it should no longer be tolerable to people. This isn't one of those, "Girls will be girls," or "Boys will be boys."

Your words hurt people and sometimes they have unexpected consequences such as people wanting to commit suicide or wishing they were dead. What's it going to take to make you stop for a second and realize that you need to apologize and grow up?

Does someone really need to try and commit suicide or actually commit suicide for you to realize that what you did or have been doing is wrong?

It's time we take a stand against bullying. Whether it be cyberbullying, harassment, or messing with people, it's wrong. So all of you who have bullied people in the past or who have been bullied, let's stand together to unite with one another and make it stop.

As Taylor Swift would say, "All you are is mean."

Sincerely,

A Victim of Bullying

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
