Liberty And Justice For All

We need to be united as a country now more than ever before.

Tuesday night, or should I say Wednesday morning’s results were nothing less than shocking. Throughout the entire campaign, never did I think that this would be the outcome. Take a deep breath, hug your neighbor, and try to stay calm the best you possibly can. As much as people would like to say otherwise, the majority of President-elect supporters were influenced by his portrayal in the media. Whether that be by a funny meme or a misinterpreted article, at least half of his supporters were swayed by these messages.

There is nothing more we can do to change the outcome. I know many of us are scared and worried about our rights being taken away, I am with you. Although, we have to have at least a shred of hope that it will not be as bad as we think. We as a nation need to come together and hope that he treats us right. Hope that no one here gets hurt by any of his or his vice president's policies.

Stand up and let your voice be heard. Let the world know how you feel. Unfortunate for some, this will be our lives for the next four years and we need to come to understand and accept this. Have faith in Obama that he will help Trump in becoming our next leader. Have faith that Melania will be a role model to all the little girls out there. Most especially, have faith that this country will grow strong.

As I do agree that love trumps hate, protesting about it will do nothing more than start more fights. Trump has done many hateful things, the media made sure to yell it to world. These things he has done deserves to be heard. This is part of the reason why Hillary Clinton actually won the popular vote. The people elected Clinton, but the system elected Trump. People need to understand what we are dealing with so we can proceed with caution. Thankfully, Trump has begun to repeal a few of his policies he promised during his campaign. Hopefully, he will start handling his job will less hatred and more poise, like President Obama did.

Do I support Trump's views and policies? No. Do I support his vice president's views and policies? No. But the one thing I will do it hope that he becomes the man that the system elected him to be. All we can do now is hope that he will calm down, and become a more friendly face like Obama has to the rest of the country. Stay strong, friends.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
