Let's Stop Attacking Others For What They Believe
Spanish Classes Online

We all have them. There is no right or wrong with them. Some may have the same as you. Some may be different. Some you may find hard to understand. Some may just seem insane. Some people may fight for hours about them. Others may keep quiet about them. And others may hide behind their computer screen attacking others about them. Opinions.

Lately many have been taking to Twitter and Facebook to share their feelings about Ohio’s new, Heartbeat Bill and if your feeds have been like mine, it is getting out of control. People are attacking others opinions because they are different then there’s and even worse, attacking them personally. Instead of focusing on the point of this bill they just decide to say well you’re a bad person for thinking this or how could anybody believe something like that. But have you ever sat back and wondered why you believe what you do? Maybe you take after your parent’s beliefs and have never considered why you actually believe some of it. Maybe you grew up in a town that everyone had the same beliefs and you just never thought about what those beliefs really are. Either way, you should always respect other’s opinions and stop attacking them for what they believe. You should always listen to what they have to say because in the end it could make so much more sense to you. Then after they have finished you can share yours and afterwards, just end it. Don’t fight with them and tell them they are wrong and you are right because what is the point of that? Why are we all fighting and tearing each other down just because somebody has an opposing opinion to us? Why can’t we just listen to what they have to say and ask questions? Not questions that will hurt their feelings, but questions to find out more of why they believe this. In the end you may be surprised. You may start questioning your own opinions and find out you don’t really feel as strongly about them anymore. You may learn something new. Maybe your opinion will even grow stronger. But either way, listening is the easiest way to understand something. Instead of calling someone names and attacking them, why not try to understand where they are coming from? The most important part of your opinion should be understanding the other side of it because if you don’t understand the other side then do you really know anything about it all together?

So stop taking to social media to argue with someone about what they believe in. Stop trying to bullying someone into believing what you do. Sit back and listen. Then sit back and explain how you feel. Go into it understanding that neither of you have to change your beliefs. Go into it just to get more knowledge on the subject. If one of you decides that your opinion might have changed, great. If you both decide to have separate opinions, great. That is what is so amazing about this world, we can believe whatever we want to and not be wrong.

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.
