Dear President-Elect Trump
wonderopolis.org

Congratulations! You have officially been elected to the most powerful position in the world. You must be very honored. I wonder if you were surprised. I know I would be if I got a job that I don't have experience for. But then again, as a woman I get passed up for jobs that I am more than qualified for simply because I don't have a penis. I guess I should just learn my place and be grateful that I at least have control over my own body. But wait... I heard you're trying to change that too. Hmmm...I guess I don't have much to look forward to while you're in office.

At least I can still be happy that America is still an open and accepting country. I'm sure the LGBTQ community has nothing to worry about as long as they don't care about their basic human rights. After all, your VP Mike Pence is very openly homophobic and has stated that he wants to ban same-sex marriage.

Hey, at least people everywhere can still come to America and chase the "American Dream." I'm sure Muslims have nothing to worry about with this whole Muslim database/registry idea being tossed around. I think that's what Hitler made the Jews do at the start of the Holocaust but the Jews probably just overreacted during that whole situation.

I would touch on why the black community should be happy you're in office but that would require a whole other letter that I just don't have time to write at this moment. I guess I'll just quote what you said, "what have you got to lose?" I mean, they might lose any respect that they have gained over the years or possibly their lives due to the government and white supremacy dehumanizing them but that's a small price to pay to make America white again... ooops! I mean great again.

Speaking of making America great again, what time period were you thinking of? When Columbus "found" America? Well, no, because he and other explorers and settlers basically killed almost all of the Native Americans. What about when the Founding Fathers were around? That can't be right because slavery still existed. Maybe after slavery was abolished? I guess not because Jim Crow Laws were put in place. Then we have the Great Depression, which was the last time republicans ran every aspect of the government, WWI, WWII, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement were African-Americans actually had to let America know that they were humans that deserved basic rights, mass incarceration of minorities that destroyed countless families, and good Lord don't even get me started on the Bush Administration. So when was America really all that great? Please let me know because clearly I'm missing something.

But hey congrats, really, I wish you the best. With any luck, America won't go decades backwards.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
