There is absolutely no reason to shame her or her fans.

Demi Lovato was hospitalized for an apparent heroin overdose on Tuesday, July 24. Though she is reportedly stable and awake, many of her fans are still worried for her. It was no secret that she had a troubled past with drugs, but she was supposedly sober and was living a healthy life. Demi has been an inspiration to many and her recovery was merely a part of it. Personally, I found her story to be quite empowering and applauded her for making her life so public in order for her fans to know the hard truth. This relapse has been just another one of those truths.

What I have truly hated about everything is the people that have been so quick in making her a scapegoat for all those artists that have had shortcomings, or worse, died but no one has defended. The most common being XXXTentacion, people tried shaming Demi's fans for supporting her during this tough time with comments like "Sure, but when X died, everyone kept saying he had it coming!" This is truly unacceptable. Though I'm sure the death of XXXTentacion hurt many of his fans, the fact that some are willing to use their anger to blind and even overpower the positivity that Demi's fans have been trying to show is beyond me. I feel for your loss, but time has passed and so has that conversation. Though moving on is hard, you should not let your feelings blind you and let people support who they support in peace. Everyone has the freedom to love whichever artist they choose, let them do it in peace.

I truly hope the Demi Lovato understands that her fans love and support her throughout this tough journey. I wish her a speedy recovery and send much positivity her way.

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.
