We all need to take a break.

Some Thoughts Besides The U.S. Election
Wallpapers High Quality

It's been a chaotic time with the U.S. Election. There's been so much to think, say, do and I admire all the effort and involvement that's being taken in to the affairs and current events.

However, amidst all the noise, there's a lot of stress and overwhelming emotion. I feel the best thing to do is to try and step back for awhile. Take a break and relax. Do what you enjoy or something that you have been putting off for awhile. Go read a book, take a walk in a park, exercise, or find a new hobby! Compared to the entire observable universe, the issue of politics and current affairs are petty.

If we are concerned about every little thing that centers around our lives, we should also be concerned about the sun eventually dying out and becoming a supernova that will wipe out humanity, climate change and asteroids that could cause humans to be extinct.

My point is that there is no point in dwelling on so many things, especially things we have no control over. I think there is so much frustration, anger, stress, confusion and negativity in general that is building up all over the world. What people need to realize is that we are all on this planet Earth (that is heating up) together. In order to be significant, we need to be significant to each other. I hope to see a world where there is more positivity and happiness while being involved in the current affairs and issues.

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.
