A Letter To Disney About Their New Tattoo Policy

Disney has recently banned visible tattoos on park grounds, so here's what I think about that.

A Letter To Disney About Their New Tattoo Policy

Ah yes, Disneyland and Disneyworld, the "Happiest Place(s) on Earth."

Well, you guys messed up big and made a lot of people pretty unhappy.

As many of you may or may not know, Disney Parks has recently issued a ban on all visible tattoos on any park property. You see, this is completely legal, as stupid as it may be. The Disney parks in California and Florida are both privately owned by the Disney corporation, so they can essentially do or say whatever they want to guests as long as they don't violate their rights as a human being.

Granted they did not violate the rights of any human being by saying that the tattoos can no longer be seen on or around Disney property, but that doesn't make this call any better. Disney is being what we call, and I mean this politely, a big corporation still run by old-fashioned-absolute morons.

In today's society, tattoos are very much more so publicly accepted. There are fathers and mothers who love their kids and will do anything to make them happy and comfortable. Disney needs to wake up and realize this. In fact, the CEO of the company has come out and blatantly stated that he doesn't like tattoos, which is totally OK. However, going as far as to ban those families and loving parents from the parks that their kids enjoy so much? That is just cruel.

Yes, I have tattoos. Yes, I very much enjoy the Disney parks, as I have went a few times with my family, and I am eagerly anticipating the new "Star Wars"-themed park. No, Disney will not receive mine or any other tattooed individual's support as long as this rule stands.

Wake up, Disney. It's 2016, we have tattoos, we are paying customers, and we are people too.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
