Why Are We Wrong For Our Views And Beliefs

I am just a tad confused

I understand that everyone is going to have different views and that everyone deals with something different. What I don't understand is why everyone can't grasp that 17-word sentence and accept it.

We were all raised in a different home which means we all have our different ways of doing things, understanding things and that also includes the views we have and stand behind. Yes, we are all different we clean differently than everyone else, we cook some dishes differently, we do laundry differently, we don't eat certain foods, we have different household rules, we put our dishes away in the cabinet differently, literally everything we do is different opposed to someone else. With that being said why can't we all understand that we have different lives, political views, we have different things we go through to give us reasons to stand behind those different things and why can't we respect someone else's opinion knowing those things influence their views? Why do we get hate when we publicize our opinions that are different from someone else's, why am I told I am wrong or stupid for believing in the things that I do?

Yes some of us do not like who is now our President but some of us also did not like the other candidate and then some of us didn't like either candidate, yet people still are getting judged, hated against, being told they're wrong and so forth. How is this fair? Just because you don't believe in the marches that happened the protests that happened doesn't mean you can't give them props for actually caring about the things that they do because what if roles were reversed and you were the one being targeted? You probably wouldn't like it. Why can't we all just respect the fact that there is always going to be someone who doesn't agree with you and see things the way you do. Why do we tell children to be different and stand out when they are younger and growing up to turn around and tell them they're wrong for being different in their futures.

I guess I will never understand why can't we all just give it up already and know that this diverse, great, free country we live in has different opinions, views, and people making it go around.

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.
