Anywhere you go, you will find differing social classes. There are definitely evidence of different social classes here at Creighton University. It becomes apparent through a multitude of ways. One of which is the clothes that people wear.

There are some students who wear brands that are known for being extremely expensive and then there are those who wear clothes that are from a thrift shops or even stores that are known for having cheaper alternatives. Those who wear brand names usually are of a higher social class. Another way that social classes are shown are through how much you spend off campus.

You know those friends who are always at Target or eating out and then there are those who stick to there meal plans almost religiously. Usually those who eat out or spend money more often than most are in a higher social class. This is a little trickier to figure out because some students come from affluent families who may not have access to that wealth and by this circumstance are in a different predicament.

That is something I have wondered about. Would you classify someone into the social class of their family or their own as an individual? In my mind I look at everyone as an individual; therefore, I would classify those who come from a wealthy background and still are frugal with their money into a different social class as their family.

In conclusion, there is a variety of social class on this campus; however, sometimes it is difficult to tell just by observing one’s actions and appearance.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
