Cosmopolitan Magazine recently published an article listing seven women who could be the first female president. The author goes to list seven Democrats. Since they left out the party that currently holds the presidency, the majority in the House, and the majority of the Senate, I have a few more women they should really look at.

1. Rebecca Kleefisch

Rebecca Kleefisch is the 44th Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. She is a "recovering news reporter," an NRA member, mother of two and a colon cancer survivor. She developed the annual Governor's Small Business summit and chairs the Governor's Task Force on Minority Unemployment. The Faith and Freedom Coalition recognized her with the "Courage in Leadership" award. Also given a "Woman of Exceptional Courage" award from the Clare Booth Luce Institute.

2. Niki Haley

Niki Haley is the United States current ambassador to the United Nations and was appointed by President Trump. The former Tea Party member was involved in numerous organizations, including when she became president of the National Association of Women Business Owners in 2004. She served as Governor of South Carolina from 2011-2017. She was the first female and Indian-American to serve as Governor of South Carolina. Her most notorious moment came after the Dylann Roof shooting in 2015 when she called for the removal of the Confederate Flag on the state capitol.

3. Kellyanne Conway

Kellyanne Conway is currently serving as Counselor to President Trump. Before this, she was president of a successful polling company. She clerked for a judge in DC, and she practiced law in four jurisdictions. During the election, she served as his campaign manager making her the first woman to ever manage a successful presidential campaign.

4. Marsha Blackburn

Marsha Blackburn is currently serving as a congressman for the state of Tennessee. She also serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology in the House Energy Commerce Committee. In 2014 the Independent Women's Forum named her "Woman of Valor," and in 2016 she was named "Woman of the Year" by the Independent Women's Forum.

These are just four examples of intelligent, qualified, and experienced conservative women that Cosmo and many others often overlook. The mainstream media often forgets that their idea of feminism is not the only idea of feminism.

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.
