I asked 15 Americans to fill out a questionnaire that I made asking them questions about the election and how they felt in regard to it. I asked a variety of people of differing backgrounds, political party associations, and different geological aspects.

One of the first questions I asked was if they had voted. I gave them the option to not say, but they all of them responded, and 86.7% said they voted while 13.3% said that they did not.

I then asked whether or not they were happy with how the election turned out, with the knowledge that Biden would win the 2020 presidency. 60% of the responses stated that they were happy with the results and 40% said that they were not happy with the results.

I also wanted to know whether or not they identified with a political party and how that impacted their answers. 63.3% of the responses said that they identified with a different party than the main two parties. 9.1% said that they were full democrats and 27.3% said that they were full republicans. Forms response chart. Question title: What political party do you align with?. Number of responses: 11 responses.

There has been a lot of discussions about how some think there has been a large amount of voter fraud or cheating in this election. 33.33% answered no, saying there was no voter fraud or cheating, and the exact same amount said yes, there was voter fraud and cheating. 13.3% said that maybe there was and 20% said they were unsure.

Another major part of this election was riots. Many were worried that there would be rioting all over the country if President Trump had won again. I asked both to make sure it was equal on whether or not they would riot if Trump had won and again if Biden won. Only 6.7% said that they would riot if Trump had won and 13.3% said that they were unsure, but there was a possibility of them rioting. On the contrary, 6.7% said that there was a small chance of rioting if Biden won and 93.3% stated that they would not riot against Joe Biden. Forms response chart.

One final question regarding the election was whether or not the president, no matter who won, would fight the victory of the other candidate. 66.7% believed that President Trump should NOT fight the victory of Biden but 33.3% said that he should fight it. On the other hand, 40% said that Biden shouldn't fight against a Donald Trump victory, 26.7% said that he should fight, and 33.3% said maybe. Forms response chart.

I did ask a variety of other questions as well, but those go more in-depth and actually have them stating their opinions and what they think. These will be in another article that will be released soon with all of these responses as well.

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.

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.
