Meet The Faces Of Manchester

During a time filled with so much hate the best thing we can do is join together and radiate positivity.

Meet The Faces Of Manchester

When I decided to write this article I knew it was very important to go about it the right way. It is important to show compassion, empathy, and respect for all of those affected by what occurred. I decided not to use the words "victims" or "attack" because I think those are the kinds of words that give the horrible person behind this power. I think it is also important I talk as little about this person as possible because in my opinion we should be focusing our energy on celebrating the lives of the people who are no longer with us rather than dwelling on the negativity. During a time filled with so much hate the best thing we can do is join together and radiate positivity.

Georgina Callander

Georgina was an 18-year-old Runshaw College student from Lancashire. She was also known as an Ariana "superfan."

Olivia, just 15 who was thought to be missing when the incident occurred. Her mom took to Facebook writing a post in memory of her daughter who she says will be "singing with the angels".

Kelly Brewster

It was said that Kelly covered her niece from the explosion. At 40 years old she will be remembered as a hero.

May those introduced above as well as any others who were killed rest in the sweetest peace. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with any other people who were injured as well as the families and friends of those who attended this concert. I send my positive thoughts and prayers to everyone involved.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
