Are We Really The Same?

We claim we are the same species, but we carry numerous genes which make us different.

Are We Really The Same?

We had class presentations in Biology and one student showed a video of multiple people walking to get to wherever they needed to go and it got me thinking- humans are a type of species and are classified as mammals.

We are animals and have the ability to repopulate because nothing puts our species in danger besides ourselves. But even then, there are still billions of people who exist and are able to repopulate the Earth.

When you start to think about the fact that humans kill off species to maintain dominance and find a way of living through greed and money, acting as if no life matters but our own. We are more of an invasive species that has come to run the world, rather than grow along side it.

We have lost our connection with what gave us, well, life.

We act as if we need all this land and housing, but in reality, we really need to reconnect with our roots and realize we are not who we think we are.

The only thing that makes us similar to each other are our organs and our form of self. No one looks entirely the same, even when you are related. Everyone has numerous amounts of genes that differ from each other. Something about us is different from the person you are standing or sitting next too.

Some people carry forms of diseases, while others are born with disabilities.

We are the same species, but with different grounds of form.

Bacteria, viruses and forms of diseases are our predators, but with time, they will be overcome the human species.

We will be wiped out, the same thing we have done to other livings forms.

Only time can tell when.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
