Don't Be A Karen, Just Wear Your Flippin' Mask

The longer you don't wear a mask, the longer the rest of us will have to.

Don't Be A Karen, Just Wear Your Flippin' Mask

It's official! The US now has more coronavirus cases than all of Europe! Even with three months of staying at home, working from our bedrooms, and ordering take-out, we still manage to keep spreading this virus.

If I see one more video of someone refusing to wear a mask into a business, I might just scream.

First of all, any business has the right to deny entry. So, you aren't entitled to call the police any more than they are. Secondly, we know you don't have a "disability" that prevents you from wearing a mask safely. And if you did have that said disability, you sure as heck wouldn't want to get this virus.

But most of all, I don't understand what the hassle of wearing a mask is all about.

It's a piece of cloth that covers half your face and can save lives. Not to mention, if you stay at home like you should be doing, you wouldn't have to wear one! Now isn't really the time to be shopping for fun or drinking at the bar with strangers. Let's save the mask-wearing for the grocery stores. While you're there, you might thank the employees who have masks on for eight-hour shifts and don't complain about it.

Masks can even be fun if you allow them to be. I picked out some crazy patterns from my local Joann's and used it to make a variety of masks I can pair with my outfits. And if that isn't your thing, then stick with the classic blue ones. Either way, you'd be making a difference.

Being in any establishment is a privilege and if you don't follow the rules, you don't deserve to be there. By not wearing a mask, you're putting others at risk who are following the correct precautions. Unless you want this to go on until January of next year, I suggest you get your priorities straight. The longer you don't wear a mask, the longer the rest of us will have to.

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.
