7 Reasons Why We’ll Be Happy When the Election is Over

Although Election day is one of the most important days in US politics and, as Trump would say, a HUGE symbol for our country’s freedom and democracy, but this is why we’ll feel some liberation as this year’s election comes to a close.

1. The negativity in the news and social media will soon cease.

… for now. As the election grows closer citizens, celebrities, news reporters, and politician have made up their minds about this year election. This only fueling the controversies and heated arguments.

2. An end to the low morale.

Particularly towards the US politics and governmental systems. Too many voters are embarrassed and disappointed with the way our government has handled some issues in the election. Polarized parties, FBI investigations and all, it is safe to say we’ll all be happier with them once they finally come to a conclusion about Hillary’s emails and literally everything else.

3. The memes...

Yes, goodbye to the epic Trump and Hillary memes that were funny at first, but are now in the graveyard of all bad overshared memes: your mother’s Facebook.

4. The angry, over-sharing Facebook friends.

Love you all, but please stop.

5. Snide Campaign ads.

Boisterous celebrity endorsements and mostly untruthful or exaggerated commercial campaigns about each of the candidates will soon be over and replaced with a nicer, lighter-hearted Shamwow commercial or something.

6. The Presidential election being the #1 topic of small talk.

I know we just met but…

7. After all these months, a decision will finally be made.

Whether you are With Her or him we will finally have an answer to the question, who is going to be the next leader of the free world?

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.
