6 Simple Reasons Why You Should Stop Having Large Parties And Gatherings During The COVID-19 Pandemic

“You’re the reason why the pandemic is taking forever to end.”

People throwing large parties and having large gatherings are honestly selfish during the COVID-19 crisis. The disregard to not keep others safe blows my mind. Reasons why you should not be throwing parties and have large gatherings are because:

1. You can kill people

You can kill people even if you think you are not: you can not feel symptoms but still have COVID-19 and pass it to others without know and get others sick.

2. You are keeping COVID around longer

Again, you can have COVID and pass it to others. And others can pass it to others. And so on.

3. You can get sick

Stop having an “I can't get it" attitude. Anyone can get it and you can get very sick.

4. It’s selfish and stupid

Why are you having large gatherings during a national crisis that can affect your health?

5. You are showing no respect

https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-07-02/Prague-stages-COVID-19-party-to-celebrate-end-of-crisis--RMcGD0z4I0/share_amp.html

You are going against CDC guidelines to decrease COVID-19... And you're doing the opposite.

6. People want to get back to normal

Everyone is sick of this sh*t. Follow regulations so we can combat COVID-19 for good.

Stop having parties and being dumb. No offense. We need to beat this. I'm sure you're tired of the pandemic, too, but it won't stop unless the parties stop.

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.
