Choose Your Own Adventure: Homeless Edition

Homeless people: the acne in America’s clean porcelain face. What have the homeless contributed to society? Nothing but taking the money out of American’s already-rich pocket, and used it for what...jobs, education, clothes. Nothing to do with finding a home, and that's because they already have one. Of course, it’s not in America, but on another planet. For years, we as people have passed by the homeless, and wondered why we continue to see the same ones. Haven’t our fifty cents every other twelve months given them enough to spend on something? We need to not focus our time on giving them money, not that that shouldn’t be too hard for many of us, but focus it on finding ways to send them home, or at least out of U.S.

First, we must gather up all the homeless people together. All the Veterans, who have proudly served the country, yet cannot find a home. All the single mothers, who feed their kids, before themselves, and especially all the senior citizens whose family had abandoned them, and often rely on a meager Social Security check to get them from one homeless shelter to another. These people are the worse, and need to be gathered at once. Soon put them on a boat, doesn’t matter how big most of them are dying anyway, and send them to the nearest island possible. We must make sure though that we make sure media, and any access to books, education, as well as anything that could backfire on the U.S. We do not want them to create a society better than ours, and able to kill us just as quickly. That would be embarrassing for America to go down as the country that was killed by the smelly, poor aliens.

This solution would help the parks become more aesthetically pleasing, as well as draw tourist to our beautiful, and now homeless free attractions. No more would we have to see the stupid signs that say ‘Need food ‘or ‘Need Money to make sure my family eats’. Why would we as Americans, who already can’t fix their own problems, try to fix the ones of the actual people who live there. In conclusion, instead of helping the homeless we could just send them away, and help our children see a bright future one where homeless people are just a sad, sick problem that America never fixed.

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.
