Classics Should Be Cherished, Not Forgotten
Meredy

In light of the recent deaths of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, there are many different emotions that are spreading across multiple generations. For some, Debbie Reynolds was part of the wonderful trio in "Singin' In The Rain," while for others she was the grandma in "Halloweentown." Yet for Carrie Fisher, most knew her has the amazing and fierce princess in "Star Wars." Even though many people are crushed by the deaths of these two wonderful ladies, as well as the other actors and singers that passed away during 2016, there is something we must all remember. Don't let the classics die with those who are gone. Now, I know this is something that always gets said about great legends, but it shouldn't apply to just the greats, it should apply to all. In this case, you aren't going to stop watching "Harry Potter" because Alan Rickman is gone or stop listening to music because David Bowie died. No you're probably going to watch and listen to them even more.

This is the reason why we need to cherish classics such as "Singin' In The Rain," "Halloweentown," "Harry Potter," and "Star Wars." These movies all have memorable actors and stories in them, and just because someone from the movie is lost, does not mean we should blame unwanted things. In the end, we should be teaching the younger generation about the great actors that have come and gone because even though the greats may be gone, we can have a hand in who the next greats will be. By being able to cherish, appreciate, and teach from these great classics, we can go on to inspire the next generation to take on those roles of being the next Carrie Fishers or David Bowies.

So no matter what happens or who is gone and who isn't, we should still cherish the works of those who have passed. These different pieces have helped shape our entertainment's history and what it is today, as well as many of these actors. We can even honor these actors by helping keep their legacies alive through continuing to watch and appreciate their works. Plus, who doesn't love watching a movie or maybe binge watching all of the "Star Wars" movies in one day. No matter what, the classics will always stay the classics and they will never cease to not be wonderful.

In the end, we must look back on the classics, in order to be able to grow in the future. It is never a bad thing to look back to the classics for help to grow and get better. No matter what, the classics are always going to be around and there are many reasons to cherish the classics. But after everything that has happened, it is always fun to go and have a classic movie night and just sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful movies that we grew up on.

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.

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.
