Recently, more and more people have been very disrespectful to our country and veterans. On their behalf, I would like to personally say I am sorry that you have to see the country you are risking your life for, courageously (may I add), being so disrespectful to you all. Whether retired, currently serving, deceased, or wounded, you all have put your lives on the line to keep us safe. On that note, I thank you for your service to this country of ours.

It is a shame that some people are not thankful enough to you or appreciate what you do to keep us safe. Some people may argue that the government is the one who keeps us safe, but it is all of you that have done or are currently putting your lives on the line for all of us. Personally, I believe that each and every one of you are true heroes.

Also, I am extremely sorry for how many veterans are living on the streets when you come home. That is absolutely horrendous. For all that you do, you should be able to have a home, no problems finding a job (if need be), etc. I strongly believe that you should receive any treatments you need.

Some people who read this article will strongly disagree with what I have stated, that you should have a home, no issues when finding a job, receiving treatment, etc. Some people who read this article will strongly agree, and some will be stuck somewhere in between the two. Everyone has the freedom of speech; which they are entitled to say what they feel about a subject. This is the exact way of how I feel, and I will say it loud and proud. This is America. “The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.” I, for one, am proud of all that you do. I will stand with you, even if I stand alone. I believe in what I believe, and I believe that this is YOUR home, just as much as any other person’s. Again, I thank all of you for your service and sacrifices that you have made to the United States of America.

Mottos/Sayings of main branches of the U.S. Military:

  • United States Air Force: “Aim High… Fly – Fight – Win”
  • United States Army: “Hooah, Hooah” or “This We’ll Defend”
  • United States Marine Corps: “Semper Fidelis”
  • United States Navy: “Non sibi sed patriae” (“Not self but country”)
  • National Guard: “Always Ready, Always There”

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.

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?

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.
