An Open Letter to A Trump Supporter
ABC

Dear Trump Supporter,

I’m writing you this letter because Election Day is right around the corner and I’d like to know if you are still standing by your candidate.

Not sure whether you supported him from day one or somewhere along the way, but I’m curious to know where you stand at this point. As you know, your candidate has been under fire for the past few weeks for several different controversies, ranging from a lewd tape to possibly refusing to accept the result of the election. Regardless of what it may be, I guess I’d like to pick your brain a bit to find out how you argue to support his claim.

I’ve heard the “what Bill did was much worse” argument, and although it may be a valid claim, he isn’t the person being discussed. Diverting the attention to someone that isn’t running for office doesn’t really answer the question. Mr. Trump says that what the women are saying are all “lies” and that there is no evidence to support their claim. While it is true that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, do you believe that Mr. Trump has evidence to support his claim? Is there evidence to prove that what the women are saying is false? As far as the tape goes, he admits to kissing women and touching women inappropriately, so how do you argue for that? These are all questions that I’ve asked myself lately, but because I am not a Trump supporter, I can’t come up with an unbiased answer, so I’d like your help.

There are so many things that I’m unsure about concerning Mr. Trump. There’s been so many outlandish statements along the way that I’m not really sure how to narrow it down to one to ask you about, but I’m confident you know what I mean. One of the wildest claims so far – at least in my opinion – is the claim of a “rigged” election. Several experts have stated publically that it would be incredibly difficult for a U.S. election to be “rigged.” So where is Mr. Trump getting his information to make such a claim? Is there unknown, unseen evidence for that, too? Mr. Trump is insulting the very basis of our democracy – a free and open election. American voters across the nation will go out on Election Day and support the candidate that they believe will do the best job at running our nation. Mr. Trump, like Mrs. Clinton, ran a yearlong campaign that he and his team managed the way they thought best. So to say that the election is “rigged,” just because he is behind in the polls, sounds a little bit like whining to me.

So, I say to you Mr./Mrs. Trump Supporter, please help me by offering me your opinion for support of Donald Trump for President of the United States.

Sincerely,

A Decided Voter

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.
