Time to Shine!?!

Let God Shine!

Time to Shine!?!
Alicia Sansone

Sunday Was Easter! Everyone has a different outlook on it. The one thing most of us have in common is when our families gather together! Some go to the park for an Easter egg hunt, or have a family dinner, or maybe go to church. For me and my family we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! I know most people including myself have overlooked the true meaning of Easter! Not everything is about the items we get each other. No, it's about the thought we put into it and the way we express our feelings! Most importantly to praise our Lord for everything he has given us and done for us!



It's hard sometimes to be grateful for the bad things but the fact is, if we aren't grateful, then how will the bad things ever turn into something good? You can always have a rude comment in your head, but it's your choice to say it. Our car could break down on us, but we have the money in a fund, (for something more important). Why get so mad over that when it's replaceable? Words can be altered. So can our feelings. I have found out first hand that the bad things I say or even think changed my whole outlook on life. Why not try and make our thoughts pleasant? What's the harm? All it will do is make you feel so much better!



God Saved my soul, saved me from this world and gave me eternal life with him! One day I will be seated with him at his table! I can't thank him enough for his sacrifice! And that is the real meaning of Easter, showing God the glory!



Happy Easter Everyone!!

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:

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.
