Newtown Documentary Airs On PBS April 3
News Week

On April 3, 2017, the documentary of Newtown airs public on PBS. The documentary that has been in the making for three years will air on PBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT, 8 p.m. CT/MT

Although April 3rd will be the first time I personally will be seeing the documentary, I highly advise others to watch it.

In a post by Sandy Hook Promise:

"The filmmakers behind Newtown use unique access and never-before-heard testimonies to tell a story of the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting of school children in American history on December 14, 2012. Newtown documents a traumatized community fractured by grief and driven toward a sense of purpose."

With being a Sandy Hook resident a part of the town of Newtown, Connecticut, I have witnessed first-hand the 'beauty that comes from ashes' and what it means to be a part of a loving and close-knit community. And most of all... LOVE WINS.

I am eager to see the film and how it has traced the events of what happened on December 14th of 2012 in my hometown of Sandy Hook. I find it very important for others to learn about the tragedy as well as how critical it is to remain together in our communities. I also find it imperative to understand how precious life is and the importance of loving one another.

Please, if any of you have availability during this time on April 3, to please consider watching the Newtown documentary, as it is something in life very dear to my heart and the hearts of many.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
