At Manchester Pride, Ariana Grande Proves Her Strength Once Again

After breaking off her engagement, losing her ex-boyfriend (and close friend), and surviving a terrorist attack at her own concert, Ariana Grande has every reason to be broken and lost. However, she has proved to be the exact opposite.

Opening 2019 with multiple hit singles and now a chart-topping album, Grande has proved to be one of the strongest in the industry. She has received endless criticism but has yet to fall to the level that her criticizers attempt to push her too. Now, as if she needed to prove her strength anymore, it has been announced that she will be the headliner at the 2019 Manchester Pride event.

For most artists, this would not be a big deal, but after the year Grande had — and this being the exact city she survived a terrorist attack in — she couldn't be making a bolder statement. However, no good thing comes without some type of backlash.

According to many reports, the ticket prices of the event have nearly doubled and people are blaming this on Grande's appearance. Many acknowledge her bravery and thank her for her support, but then go on to accuse her of exploiting the event for her own personal gain.

However, as always, Grande handled the chatter with grace and respect as seen in the response below.

She captioned the response, "I saw many people discussing this and wanted to chime in...hope that's okay." Her understanding and patience with the harshness of social media are mature beyond her years and she continues to prove it over and over again.

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.
