Let's Make America Whole Again


I began writing this days after the election as I was so distraught over the election results.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Preamble of the United States Constitution(1787)

breathe. all will be well is what everyone keeps telling the crying children of immigrant parents, the people of LGBQT communities, african americans, and anyone that cares about these groups of people. why are so many people so distraught? `As of Wednesday morning November 9, 2016, donald trump was announced the next president of the United States of America. Granted, he won't officially be the president until January 20, 2017. BUT he still resides as the next president until 2020.

some keep saying at this point what's to be done, "let's keep on keeping on". No. let's not. let's contemplate what America just did and how this could have happened.

donald john trump is 70 years old. He was born In New York City in 1946. He grew up in an upper-class family. He got his bachelor's in economics. His father "gave him a small loan of a million dollars". He is a business man, a hollwyood star, and producer... but nowhere in his resume does he provide the qualifications to run a country or even be in politics at all. He announced he would run for the presidency June 2015. Still early enough in the election process, the Republican party had many runners for the presidency. One by one many began to drop out of the race within the following year. By July 2016 the only two candidates left were donald trump and Hillary Clinton. donald trump was endorsed by the Republican party while hillary Clinton was endorsed by the democratic party.

Now, July 2017, I reflect on the seven months of this man's presidency. Has he fulfilled his promises? Has he stopped tweeting non comprehensive tweets?(yes the president tweets when he's angry how childish) Does he still believe in "Fake News"? Yes, you CNN. Well this what I've gathered through numerous articles and news stories(some even by the famous "Fake News" CNN. He has fulfilled some of his campaign promises. Depending on how you feel about him that could be good or bad. His tweets are still misogynistic and offensive.




This was tweeted in May!! The audacity the president has to call out credible news castors and news sites as "Fake News". its disgusting.

Donald Trump can not be allowed to run for another term. As a country, we the people owe it to ourselves to do better.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
