Dear Kemp Administration.. Have A Heart

About fifteen U.S. states have now either passed or are in the process of passing new abortion law(s) that prohibit women from being legally able to have an abortion after a doctor has detected a heartbeat in their womb. This past Tuesday, Georgia's newly elected Governor Republican Brain Kemp signed House Bill 481, the "Heartbeat Bill" which also prevents abortion after a heartbeat is detected. Some even are calling this bill one of the most restrictive abortion bills in America.

I do agree that every living being should have a fair shot at life. This bill honestly has sparked conversation not only in my own home but also around the nation. Thinking twice about who we lay down with might have to become a norm because it's looking like you may not have a choice later on...

Prior to this bill, Women in Georgia could legally get an abortion all the way up until their 20th week of pregnancy. Starting on January 1st, this new bill will begin to hinder women from being able to make their own decision as to whether they want to bring their child into the world or not.

Under the right circumstances, Women should always be allowed to do as they please with their own bodies, especially regarding their own children. Not just legally, but also psychologically forcing Women to keep a child that they do not feel is ready for the world (for whatever personal reason) should be unconstitutional! We should have enough faith in our Women to decide if the world that they are bringing their child into is the world they want their child to exist in. From financial issues to parental issues, to even personal issues like mental health, all these play a major factor in this child's life before it even leaves the womb. Railroading not only children but also Mothers and Fathers into realities that they know are not ideal may not be illegal technically, but it sure is inhumane.

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.
