Differences Bring Us Together
Jade Rust

My article this week is about how we need to come together as a culture. I see so many people saying things like I like Marvel, oh well I like DC, well you're stupid. This kind of attitude is what is going on and it needs to be stopped by doing this we are pushing each other away not pulling each other closer. I feel that we have just lost sight of how we are similar and just focus on how we are different. This mentality of hatred and mudslinging needs to stop, the hard part is we have a president that bullies and downgrades people and countries every day. If we look at how our country is reflected upon by the world it is not good and that is what we are doing to each other on a smaller scale we are name calling and dividing ourselves from each other. If we start dividing ourselves from each other then we will live a lonely life filled with hate, if we actually start talking and informing each other we will be able to understand and live more harmoniously with one another. It is a struggle trying to talk with some people because they are so close minded but if we show compassion and understand we can hope that one day they will come around. That is why it is so important to teach our kids not to be afraid of our differences with one another and to love one another so that way they can have a more informed opinion and be open to what others have to share about themselves. Misconceptions start with stereotypes and not having all the information a certain situation or opinion, they end when we start talking to each and get the full story. So if we start doing that and stop seeing our neighbor as an enemy and start seeing them as a friend, we will live happier more fulfilled lives. All in all, we just have to remember to love our neighbor and also be the change we want to see in the world.

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.
