I proudly fly my flag high to honor our country, all of the service men and women, and the first responders that do so much for us.

Why Respect The American Flag?
Matzav

As an American, respecting the nation's flag is very important. These are the three most important reasons you should respect and honor the American flag.

1. To honor our service men and women.

We respect the American flag to honor all of the service men and women who are overseas, who died in the line of duty, disabled veterans, or retired veterans. These men and women put their lives on the line defending our country.

2. To honor America's first responders.

We continue to respect the Nation's flag to honor all police officers, firefighters, and EMT's who respond in our most desperate times of need to keep us safe and out of harm's way. These people ought to have more respect than they are getting and that's a shame.

3. To respect the country itself.

Our country deserves more respect because of its natural historic beauty. The office of the President of the United States is to be respected no matter who holds it. People get aggravated at President Trump and start causing violent and destructive riots. some people even burn the American flag. That is sickening, those people need to grow up. I feel since they are going against the nation's flag, they should be charged with treason.

Recently, I went out, bought parts and constructed a flagpole. I proudly fly my flag high to honor our country, all of the service men and women, and the first responders that do so much for us.

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.
