So I was having a calm and lazy day on New Year's day and then decide to go on YouTube to see new updates. I look at the trending page and at the top spot was a video from Logan Paul that has been recently deleted. The caption read...

We Found A Dead Body in the Suicide Forest in Japan

The thumb-nail had Paul in a selfie with a dead body and the face blurred out. The body looked appeared to not have begun decomposing and was blue, meaning the person had recently committed suicide. I didn't watch it but over six million people had watched it in the twenty-eight hour period it was uploaded to his channel.

He has since taken down the video and issued two public apologies on his social media accounts. However, many people are disgusted at the lack of respect and disregard for the serious subject of suicide.

The online community is in outrage at the platform YouTube for allowing the video to be online in the midst of their ongoing witch-hunt for taking down videos that supposedly do not meet the appropriate guidelines. The video was taken down by Paul's Team and not the platform themselves.

Logan Paul is one of the many famous top-tier YouTubers who is considered the "Kardashians" of YouTube. The majority of his followers are young kids and many of them are wrapped up and consumed by the technology.

These kids were shocked and traumatized by this video. And people are protesting for YouTube to take down his channel. And there will be more consequences soon to come in the coming weeks.

Now all I can simply say is that this is a lesson to millennials. This shows how the sense of entitlement, the corruption on technology on the psyche and lack of consideration of human life can make someone so wrapped up in their own world that they can't tell what is right from wrong. I hope that this teaches Logan Paul, as well as, fellow YouTubers and content creators, that they should really think about their actions before they commit them.

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.
