To The Person Who Is Continuously Spreading Negativity During This Time: Please Stop

It truly is making things worse.

To The Person Who Is Continuously Spreading Negativity During This Time: Please Stop

We are all stuck in the same situation.

Staying home for weeks is not an ideal situation for anyone. However, having a negative mindset will just make matters worse. I understand we all have our own demons to fight, but why don't we spread more positivity? As I sit here, reading through social media posts and scrolling through text messages, I can't help but be upset. You are saying that if we return to school in the fall, we will all fall sick and many of us will die. This is truly blowing things out of proportion.

No one knows what happens next.

Three months ago, no one would've believed us if we said a global pandemic was about to occur. Therefore, we cannot make assumptions about what life will be like three months from now. Negativity may affect someone more than you think. Being anxious is okay, and being optimistic about the future is also okay. When this whole mess began, I found myself reading through fake news and feeling my body become more and more stressed. However, after almost eight weeks, I've learned to not believe everything social media tells me. The constant reminders about everything going wrong doesn't help a single individual. None of us have ever experienced something like this, so all we can make are educated guesses.

Don't worry, there are brighter days ahead.

So, to whoever is reading this, I'm here for you. I'm here to say that things will get better. No one knows when and how but things will return back to normal. If you think you've been having a negative outlook, try making a list of things that make you happy. Dwelling on the negatives will not makes those negatives go away. It'll make them worse. Spreading anxiety will be much less impactful than spreading love and positivity. I dare you to do one kind act for someone else. It'll make everyone's day.

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.
