To The Boy Who Said College Republicans Weren't 'Really Republicans,' You're The Epitome Of A College Liberal

I'm not following in my parents' footsteps, but I'm taking steps that I hope my children follow in.

To The Boy Who Said College Republicans Weren't 'Really Republicans,' You're The Epitome Of A College Liberal
Macey Mullins

Dear boy that said I'm not truly a college Republican, I would like to let you know that I am absolutely a Republican and you are the epitome of liberalism.

Although most of your article was offputting, the thing that stuck out most to me was when you said: "Then, it hit me: these students were basically parroting the words that their parents used in their daily vernacular."

This statement is not only incorrect but it is also unknowledgeable... I've been politically involved since before I turned 18, more so than my parents ever were. Matter of fact, my dad didn't develop a political opinion until I was nearly graduated from high school.

Therefore, I am clearly not "regurgitating the same words used by my parents," because they are more influenced by me, than me being influenced by them.

I do take pride in thinking for myself and I am different and intelligent; especially living on a college campus that is liberal based. This takes ingenuity, perseverance, understanding and most importantly patience. I wouldn't know that if I wasn't thinking for myself.

Even though I disagree with some of your article, I will agree to disagree. While what you're saying should be taken on a case-by-case basis, clearly, I rise above the standard of following in my parents' footsteps.

I'm not asking you to become a conservative, all I'm asking is that you respect my opinion and let me take pride in being a young Republican voice. I will logically debate with you, give you factual information and use not my parents', but my own creative personality to give you valid viewpoints.

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.
