Entitlement: the silent killer
Rachel Witt

Entitlement: the fact of having a right to something. What exactly are we entitled to? The right to have an opinion, and the right to vote. These are a few examples, but I have noticed a few things in society that we feel entitled to but are in fact not.

The Lord promises us His will be done in our lives, which if we are faithful in prayer for Him to reveal that to us He will. But when we go off making our own plan for our life this can leave many of us disappointed. He doesn't say that everyone will get married have children, and have a job that has a high paying salary. That's okay.

We as people need to start looking at the things in our life as blessings, rather than must haves. There are people everyday who struggle with not having a certain opportunities. Many children aren't getting educated. Many couples aren't able to get pregnant, and many people aren't in relationships. If you have the blessing of knowledge use it to teach others. If you have the gift of children, raise them to love others. If you are blessed with a boyfriend/girlfriend, change the world together.

To see a change in society, We need to lose the thought of entitlement. We need to be faithful in prayer seeking the Will of the Father. He guides us to love deeply, and that will allow change in hearts of people. Be a servant and use the gift that our Lord has given. That's where we can see true growth in people, because we are growing for the beauty of the Kingdom.

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.
