Dear Facebook,

Never before in my life have I seen so much hate between people. Thanks to Facebook, all of you feel like you can scream at each other with no consequences simply because you are protected through your computer screen. I hope you've all realized that you aren't protected, or that you've actually hurt people through all this election crap.

I think I've seen all ends of it.

"How could you vote for this person?? I am seriously offended that you would vote for this person when you know me personally and know what my beliefs are. We can no longer be friends!"

"Don't worry Women, someday we will get that bully out of office and show our daughters that they can become president!"

"How could you pick someone so Racist and evil?"

"You voted for Hilary? She murders babies!"

"I'm from Mexico, how dare you vote for Trump!"

"Not trusting our president is the worst thing you Americans can do!"

Though many of these Facebook posts have made me laugh, I kind of want everyone to just take a step back and think for a moment. I'm pretty sure that whoever voted for trump did not think "Hey, I like sexual assaults. I'm racist. I'm gonna vote for Trump!" and I don't think people who voted for Hilary were thinking "I hate babies, I want a liar for a president, I'm going to vote for Hilary!"

I really don't think anyone was thinking that. Everyone voted for who they felt would do the best job as president. I'm sure not everyone agreed with every single idea that their candidate presented, but they agreed with some of their ideas and decided that was best for their vote. I don't think anyone voted to hurt someone else.

I don't think most of the rumors spread about Trump and Hilary are true. Trump will say one thing, the media will twist and warp that until it's a dead beaten dog. Hilary will present one idea and the media will turn her into a blood sucking demon.

This blood bath is kind of ridiculous. Can't we go back to the days when we voted, and then we all kept quiet about who we voted for and supported whatever we ended up with? Because if a country is going to function, we all need to unite. Oh yeah, that's right, that never happened.

I understand that we all want to state our opinions. That is fine. I also know that all of our parents/teachers have trained us to approach our opinions with research, maturity and thoughtfulness. You are not looking to stab people with your opinions. You are looking to state an opinion you have with understanding and tactfulness.

So, next time you are thinking about posting your opinion, make sure you are being tactful and inspirational. Be careful with your words.

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.
