Recently, I volunteered at a 5k that was raising money for St. Jude. Let me just say right off the bat that volunteering at the run gave me SO much joy! My assigned job was to cheer on the participants and direct them through the course.

As I cheered them on, their faces lit up, and I couldn't help but smile as well.

There were kiddos that attended who were receiving help from St. Jude. Lots of them shared their stories, but many of them were unable to. St. Jude was there to be their voice and speak for the mute.

It was very touching. Seeing where our donations go and seeing the lives it impacts was eye-opening. I saw that the donations we give are actually going to an amazing cause and making a difference.

St. Judes provides millions of people with life-changing procedures and medical treatments. They also conduct research on everything from cancer to genetic disorders. Their work would not be possible without supporters like you and me.

Support doesn't need to be in the form of money, though. Here are some ways you can give to St. Jude:



Donations

Donations are a great way to give. Your money can go to help research thrive and help people recover from illnesses.

Prayers or good vibes

Whatever you believe in, these are always an option. You can pray for success in St. Jude's research, health in the individuals, and groundbreaking comebacks.

Volunteering

St. Jude hosts many volunteer opportunities just like the one I volunteered at. Give your time to St. Jude and get to know them more personally. Go to the events and talk to the children, learn more about St. Jude, and cheer them on. A smile goes a long way.

There is something for everyone.

However, you choose to give to St. Jude is perfect. Anything and everything helps. If you don't get anything out of this article, just take away this one thing: support St. Jude, please.

It doesn't matter how. We need as many supporters as we can. I believe that St. Jude can break barriers and heal the impossible. It all starts with you. Make the decision today to support St. Jude.

Donations can be given to St. Jude online here. Thank you for all your help! St. Jude, the patients, and I are very appreciative of your gracious gifts and time.

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.
