Every Life Matters

Equality Matters
XRSCORPIO

What does equality mean to you? There are so many television shows, news broadcasts, and social media information about black lives matter! The fact is every life matters. If you are African American you matter! Caucasian, native Americans, Chinese, all lives matter! I am a Caucasian female that works in retail. Let me tell you one thing, men do not want a female to be a sales person. If a male walks in and stands by us the customer automatically starts asking him questions, which he has no idea what they are, because he doesn't even work there.

Everyone has something to say about racism, sexism, exc. The problem is when we obsess over things like that we don't see the beauty in our own lives. Each life matters. Every single one of them. If we stop thinking about our backgrounds then we can make our lives what we want them to be.

There are a lot of people that want to commit suicide because of how hard there lives are. Most of the time based on race. I am 19 years old and I know what it feels like to feel miserable. I know what it feels like to just want to curl up, cry, and just lay there and feel the pain deepen and worsen as the day grows into night. We should never even think about suicide. It will just make everything worse. You won't have a chance to know God. If you don't believe in God, think about the people that care about you! It would hurt them like crazy! Even if it doesn't feel like it now somewhere out there someone loves you!

Every single life matters! Let's all try to help those in need! I will always help someone that needs it! That is who I am.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
