Kim Kardashian West's Robbery Is Far From Funny

Let's Stop Treating it Like a Joke

Kim Kardashian West's Robbery Is Far From Funny
huffingtonpost.com

Whether you love them, hate them, want to be them, or try really hard not to keep up with them, you more than likely heard about Kim Kardashian West's robbery in Paris this past weekend. Think what you might about the famous family, but let's get one thing straight: At the end of the day, Kim is a person like you and me and she just experienced the most horrific thing of her life.

Let's try to set the scene a little bit here. Men whom you don't know from a country where they don't speak your native language enter your apartment. They tie you up and they start gagging you. You have a husband, two little kids at home, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews. At that point in time, they have no idea what is happening to you. At the exact moment, the apartment was broken into, your mom could have been eating dinner just like any other day. Your brother could have been just taking a shower or going for a ride in his car. All while you are being robbed and they have no idea.

Not to mention the gun being pointed at your head. While you're being yelled at and held hostage and giving up your belongings to strangers, you think about how at any moment these men could take your life faster than you could beg for them not to. At any moment, your husband could be left without his wife and your children to grow up without their mother.

You can't yell for help, you can't defend yourself, and you can't think of anything other than wanting it all to be over.

A PERSON WAS ROBBED. And harassed. And embarrassed. And taken advantage of. And treated like a piece of property. And was left feeling week and helpless. Not a celebrity, not someone with millions of followers. A person. A mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend, a loved one.

And it could happen to anyone.

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.
