Dear Mr. Trump, I Hope You Shock the Nation

I hope you shock the nation.

Dear Mr. Trump, I Hope You Shock the Nation
Inside Gov

I sincerely do. I hope you shock the world. This has nothing to do with whether I personally believe in your plans or if I, like many others, doubt your ability to be a successful leader. But I hope you prove to be better than you are and what others see you to be.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

There's a lot of questions circulating through many of us, but I think too many of us are too angry, too afraid to speak them. So I'll do it. Here are 3 points we wonder as we approach January 20th and beyond.

1. Will you follow through?

You have spoken about multiple plans and philosophies you intend to work on while in office. Some are logical, some were just crazy at first hearing. What we want to know is will you follow through on everything you said you wanted to do?

We question this because we don't really know any steps you plan on taking to reach these initiatives. You told us about step thirteen, and we are currently standing at step one, but we have no idea what or how you plan on navigating through steps two through twelve.

2. How do you want others to see you?

You've seen it yourselves, people are finding ways to bash you. You're outspoken, you're honest. you're bold. All seemingly good qualities, but people look at you as deceiving, mischievous, and rude. I'm wondering how you will choose to present yourself once you're officially in office. Will you stay the same, or will this new level of power change you? And if you change (and we know you will in some way), will you lean more towards the positive side of those characteristics, or the negative?

How do you want people to view your time in office? Do you want to be seen as approachable, or scary? Do you want to be friendly, or intimidating (in situations where being intimidating isn't necessary, like with children or veterans)?

It's not just what you do in office, it's how you act in office that you will be remembered for. It's up to you to decide how you want to be remembered.

3. Will you look out for everyone?

That's the question on so many peoples' minds. Most are jumping to conclusions and saying no you won't. Others say don't be ridiculous of course he will. But that's not something we know for sure. Only you know what you plan on doing; it's up to us to hope you will do good.

Will you look out for the poor, the rich, and the middle class? Will you look out for corporations and small businesses? Will you look out for your citizens on American soil and on overseas lands? Will you look out for minority groups, for law enforcement, for the health and well being of your citizens?

Or will you make choices that specifically leave out one or more of what I said above?

People have mixed reviews about Obama's accomplishments in office, regardless of what statistics they find. But America can continue to grow under your authority. As long as you choose to take it in an upward direction, and not pull us down.

People are expecting you to fail, Mr. Trump. People expect you to be the worst president we have ever had. But if you make choices that benefit this nation, and lead us in a positive manner, you will truly shock the nation and the world.

So, Mr. Trump, I guess all we can do now is wait and see if you make America great again.

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.

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.

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.
