My Generation Doesn't Need The News​

Sitting down everyday for about 2 hours to figure out how we need to go about our day. We are at a point where we can check our phones and withing 2 seconds know exactly the temperature is outside and the hourly updates just that simple.

So waiting an hour to get the information seems like a bit of a stretch for us. When I get caught watching the news, it honestly is such a constant eye roll because it is the same exact thing over and over in that hour.

I could have read at least 20 articles about more relevant things that affect me and could have been way less bored. I just the new doesn't go into to much of the story line. They show you a video no conclusion just some crazy point in that video.

All I am thinking is what led up to this and what happened. These are the questions the news leaves me. Now if I hop onto Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook take about 5 minutes someone will have solved the entire case with facts to back it up.

This is the number one reason why we are no longer interested in the news. More important things are happening out there. We acknowledge it and want to learn the best way we know how.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
