How Hungry Are You?

How much do you love pizza? I mean, we all know what wonderful magic pizza works on our taste buds, but do you love it enough to trade your gun for an extra-large? It sounds like a hypothetical situation that wouldn’t really happen, and it also kind of sounds like a situation you would see in an advertisement if Klondike ever decided to make pizzas. But if you ever find yourself in Indianapolis with a gun you’re willing to give up, you may just be able to make a trade that will excite your taste buds.

We’ve all heard about all the gun-related tragedies that have happened this year. Many of these unfortunate events have led people to push legislators to make more gun control laws, but, our national legislators are too divided on the issue to really do much about the situation. One man, however, has decided to take matters into his own hands.

According to Bravo TV, the owner of an Indianapolis pizzeria called D & C Pizza, Donald Dancy, “the neighborhood around the pizzeria is like a ‘war zone,’” and Dancy also comments that he “’can see kids 14 through 18 coming in here and buying a pizza and their guns fall out.’” As a victim himself, Dancy decided to try to team up with the local police to fight gun violence by offering coupons that allow customers to trade “’any gun’” for “’any extra-large pizza.’” However, according to Grub Street, Dancy is still working with the police to finalize all the details.

Dancy’s effort to fight gun violence is truly unique. I’ve never heard of anything like it, and I believe that it will be incredibly interesting to see what happens with this pizza exchange. It’s also refreshing to hear about someone actually trying to do something about an issue instead of complaining and demanding that someone do something. No matter how you feel about guns, I’m sure you can respect the fact that Dancy is taking action instead of complaining. I hope that this promotion really works to help make a difference in his community.

If a piece of pizza can bring a little peace, I’m all for it. So, good luck to you, Donald Dancy.

And on that note, I think I’m going to go get a slice of pizza. Writing this article seems to have made me hungry.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
