Let alone the fact they are now four time soccer world champions.

We Should All Bow Down To The US Women's National Team

Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe...you've probably heard these names multiple times at least in the past month, if not longer. If you haven't, these are two women on the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) for soccer, which just won the Women's World Cup. The team of women on the USWNT are not only incredible athletes but role models and straight up bada**es. The USWNT filed a lawsuit against FIFA for equal pay between the women's and men's teams and have fought countless times for gender equality in sports. They were not scared to fight for what they believe in and change the lives of those around them. That in itself is incredible.

Rapinoe, a Women's World Cup champion, Golden Boot winner, and Golden Ball winner has not been afraid to speak her mind. During an interview, she said she's not going to the White House if the team wins. This turned heads, and some people thought it was great and others inappropriate. Regardless of your view, she was not afraid to speak her mind and stood by her views when she was questioned.

Ashlyn Harris is also a big name on the USWNT. She has been documenting via Instagram stories the team's excitement of winning completely candidly. It shows a personal level of love the team has for each other and shows how this group of highly elite athletes still has fun and loves the support fans, friends, and family give.

Aside from the "off-field" activities, players like Crystal Dunn and Rose Lavelle are showing their insane athleticism throughout the entire World Cup along with the rest of the team. This group of women has not only shown how good they are on the field, but they also are not afraid to tell it how it is and fight for what is right. It is truly inspiring to see them thrive and care so much about our country as well as not care about what others think of them. They are an absolutely amazing team inside and out and deserve this win (and many more to come) on and off the field.

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.
