A World Full of Somebodies

Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody. ~Kid President

Can we make this our new national anthem? Please? I love this! Can you even imagine if this is how we all lived our lives? I want to propose one result: there wouldn't be any more school shootings.

I don't think there'd be any more shootings period.

If we were constantly considering how everybody is a somebody -

no matter their race,

no matter their religion,

no matter their personality,

no matter their talents or lack thereof,

no matter what hurtful thing they did to us,

no matter our feelings -

I think this world's news would sound a lot different.

I think our hearts would look a lot different.

Sure, there are some people out there who have such rough outsides it's hard to find and bring out the good in them. But I think if we were all honest with ourselves, there are some rough things about each and every one of us that we have been very blessed to have people put up with. We've been blessed with support systems and resources that have helped us with our rough situations. Not everyone has that.

If we were always looking for ways to celebrate others and make them appreciate themselves, I think there'd be fewer suicide victims.

I think we'd be finding more cures to disease, more options for our government, more brilliant inventions if we were encouraging others to use their strengths.

I think there'd be less pride in our own abilities and more reliance on others.

At the same time, there'd be less insecurity and less pressure to maintain an image if we weren't under the impression that we needed to earn our "somebody" status.

All in all, I think this quote sums it up.

All the problems, the unrest, the despair, and tension.

It all comes down to mentally and actively making this world full of somebodies.

And it's something that every single person can do on their own to make a difference.

No government action needed.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
