It's OK to cry.

The World is Suffering And Crying For You
Telemundo

Omran, little angel with no voice and no tears, the world finally got to know you. Though under the most unfortunate circumstances but we're glad to know that you are alive.

The world became aware of your existence as we saw you wipe off the blood from your little forehead, and we are praying for you- praying for you and for all the lives that have been taken away.

Your image has gone around causing even the most cold-hearted person to shed tears for you- the world is crying for you.

At your young age you have learned the full definition of cruelty and evilness. you became aware of the terror that's caused by people who walk around carrying hate in their hearts. You have learned the dark colors of the world you live in losing faith in the humanity that no longer surrounds.

You were in the most awful situation and got to first hand experience what you could've seen on television in a scary movie or maybe while playing a video game during your teenage years. You were able to experience and see your own beloved ones suffer and that is heartbreaking. You have learned hate in a matter of seconds and were shocked by the reality of our society while you saw your family being rescued one by one

At such a young age you were forced to become silent in a place where words asking for peace are ignored and taken for granted. You were unable to cry as you felt your own pain and shock. it's okay to cry and scream how you feel.

Through all the heart-breaking images we were not only able to see how terrified you were as you were pulled out from the many bricks laying over you, but you showed how brave a tiny human being like you can be.

You have been unfortunate enough to live in a place where all that children witness are the sparks that airstrikes cause instead of fireworks in the sky. You have been forced to grow during an era in which children like you no longer play with toys but with guns and other "grown up" things they find on the streets, which caused the destruction of places and their families.

You have been through a lot and have known nothing but war. You have opened up people's eyes to the millions of people who have had it easier. Though you have only experienced war and will continue to do so as long as you live in your country, you have been one of the fortunate to survive and gladly not part of the 4,500 children who have been killed by airstrikes according to the Syrian observatory Human Rights Est. as of 8/16.

Your story has touched many around the world and we are aware that we have failed humanity. We have failed little angels like you. Though you are now probably laying down in bed recovering, just know that there are still people left in the world with kind hearts who are only willing to share love and no suffering.

From the bottom of my heart I tell you that things will get better and though you will never forget that horrible day in your life, your pain will slowly heal.

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.
