Dear Mr.Trump

I want to make America "great” too, but it sure as hell won’t continue to be if you decide to take everything we have fought for and throw it in the trash.

Dear Mr.Trump,

I'm not sure how to start this. You probably would just look at this and say that another "miss piggy" wrote it, or a fat girl, or a girl who knows nothing about politics or life.

I grew up differently than you. I grew up with my single mother telling me to treat everyone equally, that we all have a say in this world we have created, and that we all have one life to live so we need to help each other. I can't imagine growing up as a child now, seeing you on TV and possibly thinking that to do the opposite is what is right.

I tried really hard to understand the things you have said. That calling woman vile and vulgar words was locker room talk, that the wall you want to put up will "protect us," etc. etc. I've tried, I really have. But my brain, nor my heart, can truly feel that that is something that is okay.

When your news came out about your locker room talk, I had just begun to go through the process of my sexual assault. You also made a public statement to a woman about how good she would look "dropping to her knees." I thought about my own experiences and even second guessed myself because of you. Sexual assault is not locker room talk, Mr.Trump. It's a violation of anyone's right to their own body. Would you like it if a woman, or hey even a man, came up to you and touched you with out your consent? Let me say that if that happened to you, all hell would probably break loose and you'd blame it on the gay community, or women in general. Am I right?

I then thought about your daughters, your grandchildren, your wife and how you can even remotely think that this is okay for them to hear the things you are saying; that it's alright to kiss someone or touch someone with out consent. That it's okay to degrade woman by their skin color or the size of their bodies. That their main job, as a woman, is to please men. What about that any other person who has different colored skin should be looked down upon?

The thing is, Mr.Trump, this is America. We are made up of every kind of person in this world. We aren't "one" kind, we are all different kinds coming together for the purpose of this country and our president needs to understand that. Our president needs to hope, to love, to fight for what is right, and to accept our "America" for what it is and find a way to help it for the better.

I want to make America "great" too. But this last year I've seen some amazing things happen that have been waiting too long to occur in our country. America is great in certain aspects, but it sure as hell won't continue to be if you decide to take everything we have gained, everything we have learned and fought for and throw it in the trash.

Sincerely,

A girl who will always fight for what is right

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?

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.
