Who Is To Blame?
https://clipartfest.com/categories/view/YW1lcmljYW4gc29sZGllciBjbGlwYXJ0/american-soldier-clipart.html

We live in a world today where your here today, and you may be gone tomorrow. I never imagine growing up that the world would be a place that is in today. It saddens me that the world is full of evil and instead of us trying to change what is happening, we sit back and complain and judge. But what do we do if somebody is asking for help and we turned a blind eye and act like it never happened. I understand that some people don't know how to get, locate , or start to find assistance with some issue they may be dealing with; but we need to wake up and and realize that our world is crumbling in front of our eyes. For instance the shooting that just recently happened last week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where 5 people lost their lives and 8 others were injured had previously went in for an evaluation and stated that he was hearing voices so they committed him for four days and released him after that and gave him back his weapons according to his brother. But from further information released he was discharged from the military 4 months ago because of his mental state. So who is responsible for this tragedy , the shooter or the people who didn't recognize that he wasn't work with a full deck of cards? We need better assistance for people who are in the military or government service that need to be accommodated back into civilian life. From personal experience I know some people who were in some sort of branch of the military and it was hard for them to get back into civilian or a normal life. And one thing that all my friends stated was they didn't have the necessary help after leaving the military. If they are protecting and serving us ,and protecting our freedom what are we doing to protect them when they have been discharge or misplaced because of tragedy that occurred when they were in the field as they call it. We have to many veterans and military officers that are left without help and when someone of their stature needs help we turn a blind-eyeThe question I want to posed in this article is who is the blame when a tragedy occurs from a mentally ill person ?

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.
