Demi's 'Sober' Relates Too Closely To Those In Trouble

After six years of being Sober from her alcohol and drug abuse Demi relapsed. She wrote her song "Sober" as a way to apologize for her misstep. Although her song is dedicated to her alcohol and drug abuse it can relate to those who struggle with so many disorders.

Demi has publicly discussed all her struggles as openly as she can throughout her treatment the last six years and her songs reflect all her past setbacks and accomplishments. This song in particular can relate to so many people who struggle with substance abuse or even their worse disorders. When I first heard this song it made me think about when i first started self harm. I have now been three years "sober" in self harm. Music has always been determined and interpreted by those who take all that they are and express them in the music they write, play, or listen to.

Demi's song reminds that we are all humans and we all make mistakes. She may be famous but even a celebrity can admit that she needs help. She has become such an icon in showing that those who need help do not need to be afraid to ask for help. Her song "Sober" shows that those in trouble can still find forgiveness in the darkest of places. She addresses her fans in her song and asks for their forgiveness. They have since showed massive support in her recovery and wish her well as she makes brilliant strides into recovery.

This song shows that you can seek forgiveness from others as well as yourself and to promise to get better. Demi's music in general has become an iconic inspiration to everyone all over the world that you can do anything you set your mind to. So to Demi good luck in recovery and thank you for showing that your music can help those who struggle with substance abuse, self harm, or any trouble that comes their 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.
