This election has been ridiculous by all accounts, and it has been more tense than any election I have been alive to experience. Instead of all of the hype with the election being on the 8th, let's take a look back through some of the funniest headlines I have ever seen.

None of these are from the Onion or any other satirical websites. Check for the link to each article below.

Now we all know that the internet thinks Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, but what about an alien? Who else would by 100 cans of soup except a being that hasn't grasped our way of life? Apparently, Ted Cruz did.

Nope. Guess he's the Zodiac Killer. Thanks, Florida.

I'm not sure how Hitler got brought into line with Jeb Bush, but here we go. Doctor Who already shows us how this works out, Jeb. Let's leave this one alone.

Can we please leave Pepe out of this? He didn't do anything to you. Though Hillary's website says differently.

Google, this is not policy. The fact that Deez Nuts ran for president at all is the best thing about this election cycle.

On a more positive note, Hillary might be looking for a girlfriend, ladies! Better take a look.


Come on then, Hulk Hogan. We've seen weird this election season. You would be better than Mike Pence.


And here I thought we were bigger than these sort of jokes.

Now I'm a Bernie supporter myself, but this is a bit much. At least they both looked sharp for the big night.

If you were interested in keeping Bernie with you all the time though, I think this is a far better option. Might be a little awkward to explain to your significant other..


I hope you're doing alright, Pope Francis. Don't let him scare you too much!

I'm lucky to remember my own parents' birthdays. Oops..

To save the day, a giant meteor! They had to clarify that this was not the Onion because almost 25% of us millennials would prefer a meteor strike to either of our big choices.

This one isn't quite from the election, but I couldn't resist. I hope I don't have toupee the price.


We all need ponies, after all. And time travel research, zombie preparedness, and mandatory tooth brushing laws. That's his platform anyways. #VerminSupreme2016


Now I know this is only fifteen headlines, but there's so many more. The Week has a list of 95 headlines they've published about Donald Trump in the last year alone that will give everyone a giggle.

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.
