Why Pope Francis Has The Best Twitter Account

@Pontifex, in my opinion, offers any individual short blurbs of guidance every time he tweets. Although he is the main figurehead for the Catholic Church, Pope Francis is a cute, older man who not only has wisdom beyond words, but is able to communicate Catholic teachings to everyday people. No matter what religious affiliation you may have, it is possible to gain insight on how to live better through his posts, even if they may be Catholic in nature. Even in a world that has somewhat strayed from religion, Pope Francis is able to communicate Bible passages to those who may not be fully educated on them. The Bible is often steered away from just because it is considered to be too strict or too conservative, but it offers lessons that any individual, religious or not, could follow. Whether you are in a tough spot in life, or are looking for ways to enlighten yourself and become a better person all around, Pope Francis is speaking to you. Here are some examples, of my personal favorites, that I believe everyone deserves to see.

@Pontifex: January 9th, 2017: There can be no true peace if everyone claims always and exclusively his or her own rights, without caring for the good of others.

@Pontifex: May 9th, 20: Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

@Pontifex: December 21st, 2016: Mercy gives rise to joy, because our hearts are opened to the hope of a new life.

@Pontifex: April 14th, 2016: Love is the only light which can constantly illuminate a world grown dim.


@Pontifex: June 18th, 2015: Let us sing as we go. May our struggles and our concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope.

@Pontifex: October 11th, 2016: To live joyfully we must let go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge.

@Pontifex: July 28th, 2016: A merciful heart has the courage to leave comforts behind and to encounter others, embracing everyone

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.
