5 Apolitical Facts You Didn't Know About Donald Trump's Past

Given all the media coverage on Donald Trump over the past year, the average American may consider himself/herself an expert on our 45th President. Indeed, due to constant updates on things such as offensive Twitter rants and unexpected firings, America is no longer fazed by the multi-millionaire's questionable and often unpredictable actions. But how many are informed about his intriguing and somewhat hidden past? Here are 5 facts about Donald Trump that may surprise you.


1. He gave Kevin McCallister directions in "Home Alone 2."

Remember watching the "Home Alone" series when you were a kid? We all do. Too bad none of us recalled enough from the movie to realize our current President was in it.

2. He launched his own brand of Vodka, even though he doesn't drink.

Trump doesn't drink as his brother tragically died due to alcoholism at a relatively young age. Nevertheless, he released his own brand of vodka in 2006, only to end production in 2011 due to insignificant sales.

3. Trump has always been outspoken, even as child.

It seems the president's parents weren't so thrilled with his early childhood behavior, seeing as they sent him to New York Military Academy at the meager age of 13. On the bright side, at least we know Trump isn't afraid to speak his mind to anyone, including his parents!

4. He shaved WWE Owner Vince McMahon's head.

In 2007, Trump and WWE Owner Vince McMahon entered a bet known as "The Battle of Billionaires." Each billionaire selected a wrestler to fight on their behalf and the winner earned the privilege of shaving the loser's head. We all know who won.

5. Trump's World Tower used to be the tallest residential building in the world.

Trump World Tower was completed in 2001 as a residential skyscraper in Manhattan. It was ranked the tallest residential building in the world until the 21st Century Tower was built in Dubai.

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.

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.
