I previously wrote an article about how much publicity Donald Trump was getting during the elections. Well this past Tuesday Novemeber 8, the entire nation witnessed the moment in which a businessman with no political background became the 45th president.

It was something a lot of people did not see coming mainly because why could we trust someone with little political background to lead the country specially when it came to handling conflicts with other countries and other types of negotiations.

Now the important questions are what is he going to do to improve the country? If we think about all the things he promised, what is he going to truly accomplish? No matter if you voted for him or not, now we have to think about all the things that he could do in the next four years and how it will impact the country.

Yes, it’s true that during the campaign we were all annoyed by how much publicity Trump received, but at the same time it is understandable when he is the first candidate who comes with a different background. This makes me wonder why doesn’t the government change the policy of who can become president after the age of 35. I personally believe that you should have at least some political knowledge in order to run and it would be better if the candidate is a politician.

There can be some opposite arguments in which anyone should run for office no matter what political background they have. That is true anyone who has great values for the country should run, but at the same time that person should be prepared to be in charge of the nation and the complications it involves. Being president should not be taken lightly specially because they have the power to better or worsen the country.

I have been avoiding social media as much as I can for the last couple of days because everyone is stating their opinions, but others are just attacking people. How can we become a better nation when there is hatred amongst us and there is hardly anything we can do. At this time it is best to avoid social media to avoid seeing comments that might affect me and others. There is no reason for fighting, everyone has different opinions and at this time we all have to unite in order to better the country.

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.

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.
