Let's Not Be Too Quick To Judge

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Let's Not Be Too Quick To Judge
Kiersten Ulversoy

The phrase, "don't judge a book by its cover" may sound corny but it is true and we should consider following it.

Let's face it, we're all guilty of judging someone before we even get to know them or we judge them as we get to know them. It's only human nature, but we shouldn't be so harsh and critical about why people do the things they do. We don't know the reasons behind people's actions so we should be open minded and not worry so much. Once we get to know a person we'll begin to understand why they are the way they are.


For example, I went to a concert a couple weeks ago and everyone had their own way of having fun that night. Some people were just dancing to the beat, others were clapping their hands to the beat calmly, while others went all out and were taking selfies, snap chats, Instagram videos , and everything else you can imagine. I over heard someone in our circle of people talking about how some people didn't seem like they were having fun because they weren't going all out like other people. I really wanted to say something but I knew it wasn't my place so I kept what I wanted to say to myself.


Hopefully, everyones parents taught them about judgement and how mis-interpretations of others can lead to false assumptions because we were to quick to judge. I'm guilty of it: I've been a little too quick to judge sometimes and then end up finding out the real reason behind things. We're not perfect and no one expects us to be.

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.
