Stop The Madness

One bad person doesn't reflect everyone.

Stop The Madness

This past week a lot of newsworthy stuff has happened. Everything that has happened in Dallas, cops shot during routine traffic stops, the Falcon Heights shooting, the shooting in Fresno, and ect. It's horrid that I have to say "and ect." when talking about tragedy in this great nation.

All over Facebook and Twitter, people have been very vocal with their opinions about everything that is going on. People are asking for prayer. I have seen so many arguments break out over the "causes" of what's behind all of the violence. Lets be real, it's people.

People are so hung up on their own beliefs and their own lives that they can't see what is happening. ISIS doesn't even have to do anything because we are killing ourselves. Stop looking at others based on preconceived notions. If you don't like someone or something, avoid it. You don't have to make a scene.

I am so sick of scrolling and seeing "black lives matter, blue lives matter, and all lives matter," everywhere. No matter where you turn someone is posting about it. No matter which you post, someone won't like it. People complain about black lives matter, people complain about blue lives matter, and people complain with all lives matter. I don't see the problem with "All lives matter." It isn't belittling anyone. It isn't saying one is more important. It's simply stating a fact. Quit being so offended because someone isn't 100 percent supporting whichever you support.

Yes, Black lives matter needs to happen. They are singled out in society. Yes, I also see the point of blue lives matter, because people keep getting offended and killing officers. I also see the point when people say All lives matter. This is honestly the first I have posted/said my opinion on any of this.

People need to realize that they are killing are real people. They have families who are going to be hurt and resentful forever. This resent is just going to keep the endless cycle of violence going. It won't ever stop until someone decides they are going to change it. It just doesn't seem as if that is going to happen anytime soon.

Quit searching for motives simply to judge them. Quit blaming the guns when it's clearly the people who are at fault.

People are people. Pray, if that's what you believe. Quit being so negative when others don't fit into your idea of what society should be like. Stop the hate. Stop the madness.

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.
