Maybe We Should Just Build A Wall Over The White House

Let's protect this country.

Maybe We Should Just Build A Wall Over The White House
CNN

There's so many reasons why the idea of building a wall between Mexico and the United States is a bad idea. If Donald Trump continues to go through with this, things will only go from bad to worse.

While Trump thinks building the wall will help stop illegal crossing of the border, he's clearly not thinking about other problems. The wall will put a major strain on our relationship with Mexico and other countries. It will put a stop to trading and being allies with this country.

The cost to build the wall will also be a major problem. While it may possibly decrease illegal crossing of the border it definitely will not stop it. For that reason we should come up with other ideas to fix the problem and take all of the money needed for the wall and put it to use for other important problems in the United States. For instance the Flint water crisis is still a big problem. We should be making sure that the people of Flint have clean water before we use all of that money on unnecessary things.

Trump plans to use U.S. tax dollars to pay for the wall and says that Mexico will pay the money back. The former President of Mexico has already made it more than clear that, that will never happen. Since Trump doesn't pay taxes, why doesn't he just put his own money up for the wall?

The idea of building a wall between Mexico and the United States is just an overall bad idea. A lot of things that Trump is coming up with seems like it will cause a lot of problems for our country down the line. It will be a lot more beneficial for Americans if there were a wall built around the white house for the next four years instead.

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.
