I think we can get along just fine.

Liberals, Being Offended By *Everything* Takes The Joy Out Of Life
Macey Mullins

Listen, guys... I hate to break it to you but I can't seem to say or do anything right. I can't post or share a single tweet or Facebook post without someone being offended — let me tell you, it takes the joy out of life.

There's no doubt, we're all entitled to our opinion... or whatever. But please, for the love of (I won't say G*d because everyone may get offended) whatever, STOP being offended by every gosh darn thing.

I promise we don't need Facebook warriors to remind us that they hate when people post about Trump. We also don't need you to tell us how offensive country music is... or how offensive it is that we don't refer to your sisters' boyfriends dogs best friend as the correct letter of the LGBTQIA+ alphabet.

We love guns, we love our country, we love our president and that is also OK... I swear up and down that we aren't going to come into your house and take the life of your kitten.

We really don't care about how great you think Hillary would have been if she was elected to be POTUS... but we would appreciate it if you didn’t keel over and have a heart attack when we share a photo of a father and daughter wearing MAGA shirts.

It’s not that serious.

Yes, I know the conservatives annoy the hell out of you... our crazy beliefs and what not, but you, me, and the fella next door would be a heck of a lot happier if y'all didn't get offended by everything.

With that being said... I think we can get along just fine.

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.
