If love is love..what's the fuss?

If love is love..what's the fuss?

So the group of people who fight so hard for equality, who want to be treated like every other couple, to have the same rights or to be seen as just people and not as a label....for that group of people, they're kind of judgmental. I wanted to write this article about an issue I see in the LGBT community. What Love Is Love is pretty much saying is that rather you love someone of the same sex or a different one it's still love and you don't choose the person you Fall in love with, however if you identify as a member of the LGBT community and find yourself being attracted to someone of the opposite sex or in any situation where it will appear that you have a "normal" straight relationship the LGBT community a lot of times will eat you alive. Me personally, as a member of the lgbtq ..I'm very happy the way that I am or that I choose to identify as but if I have a friend who identifies as lesbian and all the sudden she finds herself in love with a man I'm not going to judge her too harshly I'll probably be a little confused but that's about it. The lgbt community can be a bit hypocritical at times. Even tho I do understand, when people switch back and forth between labels it makes it seem like its all trivial like all gay people can just choose not to be gay..which isn't true.

One of the huge issues in the LGBT community is labels. What you decide to label yourself with or identify with greatly weighs on how you will be perceived in the lgbt spectrum. In the lesbian Community if you are going to identify yourself as a stud or butch or a more derogatory term like dyke you'll be perceived as masculine, in every way, emotional, mental, personality, etcetera. unfortunately some are still very feminine and if they want to do anything that is considered girly or pretty they're judged harshly for it and vice versa if you identify as a fem you're supposed to be very girly and submissive; pretty patriarchal don't you think? and you know I can't speak on the gay, as in male community, but I know that they have their own labels that cause issues in friendships and relationships. The point is if we could truly accept that love is love, people are people and that everyone is alike and that everyone is different and just let everybody be, then may be at that point love can truly be love. 💓

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.
