An Open Letter To The World

Why do humans view hatred as a viable response to life?

Dear World,

Please hear me. I want everyone to stop what they are doing right now and just listen.

I know I am not the only one who is hearing the world's pain, hearing its screams as it is forced to watch the hatred and violence that we humans are carrying out daily, hourly -- constantly.

Why do humans still view hatred as a viable response to life?

There is already so much hardship and struggle on this earth. We don't need to add to all of it by acting out of hatred upon others.

Assault. Murder. War. Acts of terror. Why do we put so much effort into harming each other for our differences?

We judge others based on labels: sexuality, ethnicity, religion, etc. when what we should do is love one another for who we are.

This may seem like a secret to many out there, but you don't have to agree with everything someone else believes in order to treat them with love and respect! It is not up to you to force someone into agreement with you. If you feel very strongly about something, you can engage in discussion about it with others, but -- and pay attention closely -- don't use this discussion as an excuse to berate or belittle people with different values or labels than you. Enter into such discussions respectfully with an open mind and love in your heart.

Love and an open mind are key to fostering a better world to which we all belong.

Is it hard to love unconditionally? Of course it seems that way because everyone is bound to get on your nerves on some occasions, but if you take a moment and breathe, you can get past it.

Remove yourself from situations that you find threaten your ability to act out of love rather than hatred.

If we all do this, we will be one step closer to a more peaceful world.

It is up to us to denounce hatred, greed, and violence and to, instead, promote love, peace, and selflessness.

My message to my fellow man is this:

Love. Always love.

I love you!

Sincerely,

Someone Who Wishes For The World To Reach Its Potential To Be A Better Place

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.
