15,000 children are diagnosed with Cancer each year. Each year, 15,000 children aren't given any other choice but to fight.

They become their own hero and a hero to so many others who are witnesses to their strength.

The University of Dayton Love Your Melon Campus Crew is a group of students who are driven to connect to these little hearts of gold by granting them the support in beating each battle. With every purchase you make on LYM apparel, 50 percent of the proceeds go directly to our non-profit partners and it grants us credits to visit children in the midst of their battle against Cancer, dressed as superheroes.

Walking into each room, as a child’s face lights up, they see us as “heroes”. What they don't realize is that a costume doesn't mold what lies within. They are the ones who carry all the strength in the world, a strength inside them that is irreplaceable and unmistakable. A strength that deserves to be nurtured in any way we can.

While we, college students, are learning in the classroom… These children are learning lessons that life alone can only teach. These children are learning the true meaning of sacrifice, perseverance, faith, and how to truly value life. The breaths we breathe each day.

... Before many of them even step foot in a classroom.

Each Child. Each heart of Gold that beats every day, fighting Cancer. Is our Superhero. They are the heroes.

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.
