Let Malia Obama Be Her Age!

Let Malia Obama Be Her Age!

So as the Democratic National Convention was going on there was someone missing. No, it wasn't someone on television who believes republicans are devil majority of them who think like that were front row at the convention. But I digress. The person who was missing in action was none only than Malia Obama. The daughter of President of the United States and first lady Michelle Obama...I know what you are thinking:

1. Why is she not with her father and mother during a time like this?

2. Why Lollapalooza?

3. How old is she again?

Now, as Michelle and Barack were giving their epic speeches Malia was dancing around with her friends at Lollapalooza within her hometown of Chicago! First things first, she is 18, everyone, and just graduated from high school. Yes, I understand she lives in the White House with one of the most famous couples in the world. That does not mean she cannot go out and have fun! She still wants to live her teenage years, but the whole time while she was dancing around, secret service was right there, casually dressed in their plaid. So, at all times she was protected. So, that would be considered safe fun. I mean, let's be real here, the family has not had one scandal....let that sink in. Why is that? Because, the family actually lives their lives outside of the political stuff. I know some of you see it as an issue for Barack to be playing basketball or Michelle riding around in a car singing karaoke with Missy Elliot but what else are they supposed to do? They also want their down time just like normal people, which they are. Their status in life does not make them. It just adds to their daily regimen. Plus, the girl is going to Harvard and we all know how stuck up Harvard is. Let Malia be her age. Let her be young. Get over it. She was not sheltered like some of the other presidents daughters. I knew she was different when back in 2014 she went to the Chance the Rapper concert along with her dressing skills. (Which I approve of). At the end of the day Malia is going to be her age and live like it.

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.
