Why Karma Is Real
viralnovelty.net

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, karma is defined as “the force created by a person’s actions that some people believe causes good or bad things to happen to that person.” While it is common for people to completely disregard this phenomenon, I believe karma is 100 percent real, and here is why.

Karma is a principle that originates from the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism and describes how an individual’s overall behavior and actions will determine their destiny in a future life/existence. Although I am not from either of these religious backgrounds, I don’t think they’re necessary to living out the root fundamentals of karma. The universe is suspended in a very delicate balance of good and evil, resulting from the premeditated actions of individuals. By cultivating negative energy and expelling it out into the world, you are generating a cycle of adversity, which will ultimately come back to bite you. On the opposite spectrum, if you exude positivity and optimism into your surroundings, you will reap the benefits from your actions. I strongly believe that what you put forth into the universe is what you’ll get back, whether it be almost immediately or after a substantial period of time. From my own personal experiences, I can definitely attest to the fact being a genuine person with good intentions will get you so much farther in life. Negative people automatically attract pessimistic things, and that’s all there is to it.

Even if you still think the idea of karma is a load of crap, you can’t deny that it teaches responsibility for your actions, which is never a bad thing. Whether you’re in tune with my karmic beliefs or not, I encourage you to radiate positivity simply because you strive to be the best person you can be.

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.
