Truth Is The Way To Go

Honesty is the best policy.

Truth Is The Way To Go
BsnSCB

What bothers you the most? Is it the way people dress, or the way they talk? How about the words that come from their mouth? Personally, the thing that bothers me the most is being lied to. Even little white lies, they begin to add up over time. Nowadays, you can never be too sure whether a person speaks the truth or not. What exactly drives them to do this? No one knows; I guess they all have their “reasoning.”

As people, we don’t always want to hear the truth. We grew up where everyone said, “the truth hurts.” Although, sometimes that is true, I believe that honesty is the best policy. For instance, if there is not any honesty in a friendship, is there a friendship at all? Some people say they believe their friends all the time. If we weren’t there when it happened, how do we know for sure that it is what happened? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that all people are liars or that they would come up with some excuse. Simply, it is just a question to think about.

All too often, we try to spare each other’s feelings as much as possible. We don’t want to sound as if we are ignorant. Many people want to hear those little white lies, because in some odd way, they say that it boosts their confidence. Being lied to makes you feel confident? Honestly, as a person who receives lies every day, I feel as if that would drop your confidence. Just be honest and don’t spare each other’s feelings because it will save the argument that will come later.

Honesty is always the best policy. Just be truthful.

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.
