How Do Current Events Affect You And What You Should Know

I am one of those women who are frequently asked when I am having children, and I do think about it a lot. What would I say if my boyfriend, Brook was into having babies? Would I want one or not? Why would I even question it? But have you seen what the world is coming to? America is turning into a total shit show including the savages living in it.

These football players who think it is okay to kneel when the National Anthem is playing. Are you kidding me? All over a race issue. You make millions of dollars a year to play football and you cannot stand, but there are Veterans who have nothing. Men and women and dogs literally go out to war and lose their lives for us and these people who do not have enough respect to stand and show their patriotism. Plus, these football players are showing little children who do not understand why thesr football players are kneeling that it is ok. If you do not appreciate what you have then get out. See what other countries would have in store for you.

Well, let me think... the National Anthem is sang for our soldiers and America, and also is meant to bring different races and cultures together. We are supposed to be brothers and sisters. We are supposed to unite together not divide. Stop disrespecting your country!

I spoke with a homeless veteran today. He had many bags and seemed a little screwy in the head, but he was so nice. Why are veterans homeless in America, but we have football players making millions who do not stand for the Anthem? Someone needs to please donate the millions of dollars that the players are making to the Veterans who live in cardboard boxes. I mean because that is what the veterans deserve after what they have all done for us, right? I am pretty certain America got that shit backwards.

In regards to the horrific shooting that happened in Vegas: I am so sorry for all of their families and friends. I could not even imagine, which brings me to the bitch, (that word is probably too nice) or Vice President of CBS. Reports are stating that she was fired for saying she felt no sympathy for the victims and their families because they were at a country concert and that must mean they are Republican. Ummmm... what!?!? The bitch deserved to be fired and thank God CBS did just that. No one deserves to die the way those people did. The people did nothing wrong and innocent lives were lost. Rest in Paradise to all who have passed.

The shooter is said to not be a terrorist, which makes me sick. Doctors reported that he had mental issues. Nahhh... you think!? Anyone who does something that horrific has issues, but my point is if that guy was black, Muslim, or whatever, he would be considered a terrorist. I am white and I am not racist. How do you get almost thirty guns into a hotel room without anyone noticing? We all know the media and government are both hiding shit from us.

Now, everyone needs settle down. I know certain people reading this piece are heated because they are hypocrites and think no one can have his or her own opinion. The article is my opinion.

Rest In Peace to all. Praying for our troops and veterans. Maybe this will all change one day.

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.

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.
