Why We March

The 2017 March for Life might have seen its best turnout yet. Celebrating over 40 years of marching has marked a glorious day for those who believe "life is winning" as Mike Pence does.

The march itself lasted just under three hours while the rally began early in the morning. Guest speakers spoke in terms of high hopes for the future generations. The march was expressed through people of all ages. Children, teens and adults worked together to march for what they believe in. The march itself was full of life and love even through the bitter cold weather.

People who accepted interviews openly discussed why they believe abortion is a misfortune. Pro-life marchers attend the march to be the voice for the voiceless. The march itself is a different type of march. No one is marching for their own rights, but for those whose were taken from them. A strong group of men and women stood at the beginning of the march with signs that read "I regret my abortion" or "I regret missing out on fatherhood". Whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, these men and women are pure examples of the consequences that come with abortion.

Abortion is a topic that many people try to avoid discussing, and I don't blame them. It is yet another topic that is so difficult to discuss without offending someone else's beliefs and political views. Many people who were pro-choice also attended the march and held signs by the supreme court. These two differences in opinion did not collide. They respectfully saw each others' claims on the topic and moved along with their own. This march is globally known as one of the most peaceful marches to walk through our capitol. This election and march might just be the start of a new founding hope for these pro-life supporters.

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.
