We Need To Menstruation Hygiene Products be Made Free

On February 26th, 2020, Scotland became the first country to make Menstruation Hygiene Products free and accessible to all women. They should be free everywhere regardless.

We Need To Menstruation Hygiene Products be Made Free

In a world of capitalism, we see so many companies rip off customers by price gouging and bootlegging products that should be accessible. Many of these products don't cost a fraction of the cost you spend on buying it as a consumer.

Feminine Menstruation Products have been in the hot spot of overpricing for decades and we as women need to push and start a fight and put an end to the overpricing of these products. Many women cannot even afford to buy good quality products because they sell a low quantity in the box for a high price.

These products are essential, and the lack of sanitization leads to a spread of bacteria that can harm others. The lack of accessibility of these products makes it all the worst. We need to see change and put a stop to capitalism and sexism in the process.

Scotland was named the first country to make them free but we should be seeing this law placed in countries with high poverty rates and the millions of Americans who can't afford the products is what makes the issue worse.

No excuses make feminine hygiene products free and accessible for everyone. Take off the price tag and make them accessible.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
