Some People Suck, Don't Be One of Those People
Hayley Marie White

I'm going to come right out and say it: Some people suck.

It's just how it is. Some people are impervious to the world around them to the point they don't realize how they affect others. Some people are solely focused on themselves, putting others down in the process. Some people are caught up in the hatred of the world, succumbing to violence and desperation. Some people are flat out rude, unapologetic, unthinking and unconcerned for others. Some people suck.

So let's not be one of those people.

In a world consumed by hatred and fueled by fear, it is easy to succumb to the malicious ways of the people that surround us. It is easy to succumb to the negative thoughts that result in negative actions. It is easy to succumb to thinking solely about oneself, ignoring all others.

So let's not do that.

Acts of kindness are an extremely underrated form of bringing good vibes back into the world. An act of kindness can be the simplest thing of holding the door for someone or offering an extra hand, or can be of greater lengths like doing something inconvenient to make the life of someone else better. All it takes is a tiny ounce of effort and the result can change a person's aspect for the rest of the day. We often hear of the term, pay it forward. This is an ongoing idea that if and when a person does an act of kindness in your favor, you, in turn, fulfill an act of kindness in the favor of someone else.

I am sure that by now, most everyone has seen the video of the man ranting after he kindly paid for the car behind him at Taco Bell, then afterwards realizing that the check came out to be $50. If you have not seen it, go watch it because it is pretty funny. I mean, who orders fifty dollars worth of Taco Bell? Anyways, the point is, that man fulfilled an act of kindness for the car behind him. Think about that car, with that ungodly Taco Bell ticket, and how happy and blessed they probably felt once realizing their ticket had been paid for. Also, the man who paid has some extremely good karma coming his way.

No matter what act of kindness you choose to fulfill, whether small or large, the impact it will have will be double. The impact will influence the continuance of kindness throughout the community. The impact will grant one warm fuzzies and warm the hearts of those who see. The impact can change someone's day, someone's heart, someone's way of thinking.

So let's stop this never ending cycle in which people suck. Let's fulfill random acts of kindness to brighten each other's days. Some people suck, but we don't have to be like those people.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
