Last week, I wrote about the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, so you might be wondering why I decided to write about the British royal family again this week. It's not because I'm possibly their biggest fan (even though that might be true), but instead, it's because I have seen something become a constant on my social media pages and even in the actual media that needs to stop.

It's time to quit comparing Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

I have seen people comparing their wedding dresses (Can you believe Meghan wore something so simple to a ROYAL wedding? Wow, Kate's was way out there, she was trying too hard). Katy Perry even said that Kate "won" the contest between who had the better wedding dress. (Last I checked, there wasn't a contest.) People have compared their hair, their makeup, their style choices, and if Meghan and Harry ever have children, then there will surely be comparisons of who is the better mother and whose children would make better kings or queens.

Surely the queen must like Meghan better since she was allowed to join the royal family for their Christmas service before she was married into the family, right? (Honestly, Harry was probably so head over heels for her so the queen made an exception). Well, Kate remembered to curtsey after marrying William, while Meghan didn't, so the queen is probably bitter about that. (I'm sure Meghan was just nervous as are most women on their wedding day and simply forgot, and I'm sure the queen understands that. She got married once too, you know?)

There was even an ordeal about what Kate wore to Harry and Meghan's wedding because people thought she was trying to upstage the bride. (Her dress was lemon colored people, I promise). It's almost like the media is trying to create an issue between the two Duchesses where there is no issue.

These comparisons and fake rivalries need to stop.

Both Kate and Meghan seem like amazing women who care deeply about the role they have stepped into. They care about the issues their country faces, and they care about doing their part to ensure changes are made. They are both beautiful in whatever they choose to wear that particular day. Kate seems like a great mother, and should Meghan ever decide to have children, I'm sure she will also make an amazing mother.

Don't get me wrong, they are two different women with two very different backgrounds, who both just happened to marry a prince. They are passionate about different things, and it's those things that people and the media should be focusing on.

Instead of focusing on these ladies' clothing and hair decisions, let's talk about the different things they are each doing to try and make the world a better place, because THAT is worth being in the media. Who wore what better is not.

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.
