It breaks my heart to see such awful things happening. People are getting hurt. People are hating, dying, being injured for almost no reason at all. It's okay to have your own thoughts and opinions. It's your rights as humans. However, there is a fine line between separating your beliefs from people based strictly on the color of their skin.

It deeply saddens me to have to see videos and photos on Facebook of veterans who have fought to make each person equal, people who fought to get out of concentration camps, the abolition of slavery. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."

This is not the first supremacy issue we have had recently. Hatred against the LGBTQ+ community is also a growing problem. Upon the ending of Barack Obama's presidency, hatred against people of color and transgender individuals has been growing.

No matter what your beliefs are, you have to sit back and think at least once that it is not the color of our skin or the makeup of our personalities that make us different. At the end of the day we are always human. That is what we will always be no matter what.

We need to put a stop to this and go back to when we all loved each other despite what we look like, sound like, or what our personalities have to offer. We achieved this by coming together as one—helping each other out and succeeding in becoming equal and letting love win. We have to do this for our future generation. We have to stop letting hate win. And the only way that will happen is if we come together again and fight against this; rise above this, and discriminate hate once and for all.

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.

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.
