Peace Be With Manchester

Praying for the lives lost in the Manchester attack.

Peace Be With Manchester
The Blaze

On May 22, in Manchester at an Ariana Grande concert, a bomb went off that killed 22 people, injured 119 and hurt the hearts of many across the globe.

Police responded to a bomb that went off at 10:33 p.m. in Manchester that people could only describe as a "big bomb". The explosive went off in the main area that was filled with kids as young as 8 years old. The person responsible was carrying the homemade bomb when it went off and died at the scene.

This left the pop star singer "broken," she had later tweeted that she was speechless, "I don`t have words." Her and many other famous people across the world tweeted and shouted out about the poor lives that were taken.

I think Grande spoke for us all when she tweeted, "broken" and "I don`t have words." Because who would really expect going into a concert that it would be bombed? It is really hard to wrap your head around the idea that there are actually people out there who would set off a homemade bomb knowing that there would be children, families, and young adults at this scene.

The feeling of being completely powerless was spread across the globe. The truth is there was nothing the victims could of done to prevent this. They were just living out their lives, trying to have the time of their life at a concert where their lives would end up being taken.

Over 400 police have been deployed throughout Manchester. Even though the attack was there to divide them, it only united them more and the world. We should all keep our thoughts on the ones who were lost and their families. Even though ISIS claims responsibility for this attack there is no evidence making this claim true. This only makes officials to think there might be another attack. Thats exactly what they want you to think though just remember, terrorist can not win if we do not fear. Live your life to the fullest with lots of love, passion, and confidence. Do not give in to the cowardness of this attack but find a way to bring more love in the world to prevent any more hatred into the world.

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.
