Instead Of Getting Mad, Get Over It Instead

Why get mad when you could be happy instead?

The first thing that comes to mind to write about is feminism. However, that has been super really extremely overdone in the past few weeks.

My first thought is why? Why do people need to make it so known that they do not like something? If someone is going to go to the trouble to learn to knit, spend a few hours knitting a pink hat, and then wear said pink hat resembling female anatomy, I truly do not think they care if you are not down for their cause.

I’m going to propose a revolutionary new idea about what to do when someone or a group of people do something you don’t like.

Do nothing. Ignore it. Take their activities with a grain of salt, and move on.

I know. How can you go about doing this? Who will write long posts on Facebook and compose endless tweets criticizing these wild animals?

What will you do with all of this free time spent not hating something? Maybe you can spend your valuable and now plentiful time doing things you actually like, and if you can handle it, maybe even love.

Do things you love. Watch movies you like. Only care and rail about things that make you wildly happy.

I’m not suggesting that we all gather in a circle and sing “Kumbaya”, but maybe we can stop putting so much unnecessary effort and just not pay attention to things that cause us distress.

Perhaps with this newly acquired free time, you will rediscover how amazing and beautiful life can be. You will notice the little things, and you will smile at how simple life can be when you make it so.

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.
