In today's world where anything and everything is posted, it makes it incredibly easy to comment unnecessary opinions and judgment onto others. Everyone feels like they're being watched, and for good reason. Nothing is private which allows judgment to be easier than ever.

Everyone, including myself, is guilty of looking at other people's posts and thinking negative thoughts. "Is she really wearing that?" "Why would he post that?" Judging people is an inevitable part of being human. It's natural and normal.

I can't sit here and say "never judge someone again. If you do, then you're a bad person." That would be ridiculous and frankly, impossible. Instead of trying to be perfect human beings, we should simply try to get out of the habit.

Of course, negative and judgmental thoughts will come across our minds no matter what. But we can control how much and the actions of letting our thoughts be known. Next time you catch yourself unnecessarily judging someone, just tell yourself "hey, that person is a human being too. This is completely unnecessary to think this."

Though it may sound silly, people don't realize what a negative affect judging others has. Limiting those thoughts and snide comments allows for more positivity to sweep in. And this world can always use more positivity.

Try to get into the habit of only thinking of positive comments of other people. Doing so will make it hard to let judgement pour in. Yes, thinking positively 24/7 is impossible. But practicing those habits can only do good for your life and for other people's lives.

Thoughts affect everything. They effect your physical actions even unconsciously. Getting out of the habit of judging people will create someone who is more patient, kind, and loving.

There are already so many negative things in this world. We should make a continuous effort to bring more light and positvity. By limiting the amount of judgement we have of other people, a change will definitely be made. It is so easy to judge and think harshly but it creates so much insecurities and pain.

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.
