Time To Put Down Your Juul: It's Officially Bad For You

For years, smoking cigarettes plagued the nation, with little to no research to make people aware that cigarettes are deadly, causing cancer and gum disease. Even once the research surfaced to tell people they could die from smoking, people continued to smoke.

Flash forward to today: smoking cigarettes seemed to be something that wouldn't carry onto the next generation. However, it now appears that all hope is lost because vaping has taken over the market.

Vaping, also known as Juuling thanks to the popular brand, is the electronic way of smoking that causes no smoke. While in retrospect this may seem safer, and is often even branded as a healthy alternative to smoking that still provides the nicotine many become addicted to, Juuling is extremely dangerous to one's health.

There are many unknown substances that go into a Juul that can cause cancer, but the main issue is that Juuls, like cigarettes, still have nicotine in them. Nicotine is an addictive substance that completely alters your brain and leads to unforeseen side affects that people do not consider when picking up a Juul pod.

One of the worst issues with Juuling today is that it has targeted the younger audience that many thought would be spared from cigarettes. High schoolers and even middle schoolers who can easily buy Juuls at gas stations who don't ask for ID's, or ask others to buy Juuls for them, are using Juuls in school.

The FDA is currently focusing on measures to regulate Juuls to keep them away from youth, but in the meantime I beg everyone, college students as well, to stop Juuling. It's not "cool" and it's not "fun," it's just harmful. Do you really want to die one day knowing you could have kept yourself healthy if you just wouldn't have participated in Juuling?

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.
