This is a response to ‘As A Young Woman In College, I Think It's Important To Admit Ted Bundy Is Hot’

After reading the article about the admittance of Ted Bundy as an attractive male, I was left with many thoughts, specifically about how younger generations and people who are online tend to romanticize serial killers.

On an app such as TikTok, there are often trends where people tend to glamorize serial killers and also forget their crimes. By making edits, videos, and leaving comments regarding the attractiveness of a serial killer, people obsess on the wrong qualities.

Admitting that a serial killer’s attractiveness may be a reason why they got away with their crimes is one thing. What most people do though is undermine the crime of the serial killer by hyperfixating on their attractiveness.

Being a chronically online generation often leads to the desensitization of many things, and serial killers and their crimes may be one of those. As a generation, we tend to overlook a lot of things in order to become infatuated with the trendy and new things. The glamorization of serial killers was a trend on TikTok just like any other thing but that is not something that should be overlooked.

It's important to acknowledge the crimes of a person before labeling them as attractive and making them famous again for all the wrong reasons.

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.
