Both hands On the Wheel
Driving

Most of the people in the world today have a cell phone, but most of all they have a smartphone, where you can go online and go on different apps, text, and even take pictures but it doesn't stop there. People today do more than just using their cell phone, they are eating drinking, even doing makeup. This is shouldn't be happening on the road, we all should have both hands on the wheel, I think people should get a ticket for not having both hands on the wheel.

Even knowing I don't have my license yet, but I do have a permit. You see a lot of things on the road that you shouldn't be doing on the road.

Working on getting everything set is hard when you don't have anyone helping you and not enough money to get things done right away. But that doesn't mean anything. I set in my mom's truck and I look out the window and see people passing by eating, drinking, doing makeup, and even just doing something on their phone no matter if they are driving or stopped at a red light. It annoys me that people would rather be on their phones than actually drive the right way on the roads. But it's more than just that. People in the world today are so obsessed with the phones and social media that they have to be on their phones every second, yet people are on their personal phones at the work place too. I understand that but using your phone in any way while driving is something that I will never do.

My friends and family have asked me why don't I have my license yet, and I tell them the truth, The money for classes and I don't have the time with me going to school and working. But then they tell me well you can just go and take the test and get it and be done with it and then work for a car. yes I know, I can take my test up at any of the driving schools and go get my license since I have a permit, BUT I don't want to be one of those drivers that don't know how to drive! I want to actually be a good driver and not be someone that almost runs over someone, or hitting over cars, etc because they are on a cell phone, or eating or doing anything else instead of having two hands on the wheel.

For anyone that doesn't have two hands on the wheel, I really think they should get a ticket for not having two hands on the wheel because you are an endangerment to other drives and also people who have to walk. That one second you look away from the road or even to grab something that is in your car, you could be taking a life away from this world who should still be here. Your phone and people and food can wait It's not the end of the world when you're not on your cell phone or even. It will still be there once you are getting where you need to go.

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.
