Every Story Has Two Sides, Neither Is Wrong

So don't tell others in the argument that they are wrong.

The statement "there are always two sides of the story" is definitely true. However, if you have heard this before you also know that this doesn’t mean that one side of the store is false and the other side is true. Instead, what this means is that every person involved in a situation is going to have a slightly different view of what happened because not everyone is going to interpret things the exact same way.

When you are talking to someone after an event has happened you don’t get to tell them that what they saw and what they know to be true is not what happened or is false. You have your side and they have their side.

Neither is wrong.

You don’t get to tell someone that what they know to be true didn’t happen or that it isn’t the way something went down. You don’t get to do that to someone because when you do, not only are you telling them that they are wrong, but you are also telling them that something might be wrong with their brain and their memory.

There are two sides to every story, neither are wrong. The second people start to take sides is the second that people start to get hurt and throw a fit.

The second people take sides is the second that someone loses all their friends.

The second people start to pick sides is the second families get split into two different sides. Every story has two sides. Don’t hurt others by making people pick sides.

In the end, every party involved in a conflict has a part of the story and they think that things went down a little differently than others. No one that was involved is going to agree on what happened and no one should be blamed for what happened. However, no one has the right to tell anyone involved in the situation that they are wrong in how it went down.

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.
