Pleasing Stop Juuling, It's Not Cool Or Edgy In The Slightest

You really don't look as cool as you think.

Until the fall semester of this past year, I had never heard of Juul before.

I was in an international business class and we had group projects where we had to bring a product to a country it wasn't already in.

One of the groups did their project on bringing Juul to a country that had one of the highest populations of smokers in the world (though I now forget which country that was).

The basis of their proposal was to bring this product to this country to help those people stop smoking. However, upon researching, it seems that "Juuling" is worse for you and more addictive than smoking actual cigarettes.

This semester has seemed like everyone was doing it.

Thus, I have compiled a list of my top five reasons to stop this Juuling obsession.

1. It's extremely stupid.

I simply cannot express how much I hate smoking. So to me, any kind of smoking or vaping or whatever is automatically the worst.

My brother has seen a video where a person at a party offers a Wii remote to other people, pretending it's a Juul and people actually take to it, hopefully realizing how stupid they look.

I have seen videos where one person at a party walks around offering an actual flash drive to people and they put their mouth on it, thinking it's a Juul until they release in surprise. I just think that's pretty ridiculous (yet also pretty hilarious).

2. Juul is very bad for you.

I've done a little research, and according to Vox, a single Juul pod delivers as much nicotine as up to two packs of cigarettes.

Searching through some Reddit responses, I see that one pod lasts most people somewhere between 1 and 3 days.

That would be the equivalent of smoking around 6 packs of cigarettes a week. Now, of course, different people have different habits, but that's just something to think about.

I'm not sure if these people don't realize this, or if they just don't care.

3. I hate finding Juul pods in the laundry machines at school.

On at least three separate occasions I went to put laundry in the washing machine or dryer in my dorm building and found a stupid, empty Juul pod sitting in the bottom of the drum. You better bet I did not use that machine. I honestly wasn't sure if it was safe to.

4. It's making people think it's okay to smoke inside.

You're not getting away from smoking cigarettes by smoking Juul. It's basically the same thing and as I said, Juul is even worse.

If you made the switch because you think it's better for you, take a big step back and do your research.

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.
