Dear Tomi

Please Stop Talking

Dear Tomi

Oh my how the cookie is crumbling, America. Donald Trump is the President of the United States of Conservatives, Tomi Lohren is still talking, and Bannon/Putin are running the show in America. Thankfully, in the small glimmer of good news that we the people received this week, is that Beyonce is pregnant with twins. I mean, honestly, if you are not screaming about this, please call your Uber and see yourself out.

While watching the Super Bowl (and at the time of writing this the Atlanta Falcons are kissing Patriot ass, which makes me a little deflated), I actively browsed Twitter. I mean, look, it is a late Sunday night, I’m sick, and Lady Gaga brought life to the LGBT+ community in a time where we are basically waiting for Trump and his small hands to sign an executive order that is the inspiration by a future Stonewall Inn like event.

Mark my words, it could happen. But while on Twitter, I came across a tweet from conservative “talk show” host Tomi Lohren, we reacted like quite the snowflake at the Audi commercial in this years Super Bowl that promoted the idea of gender equality, that women are equal to men.


Lohren, born and raised in a military family and a graduate of UNLV, shot back at Audi for having the balls to suggest women aren’t already equal to men. You know, just months after the most qualified female candidate for any elected position lost an election to an orange cheeto. Literally. According to Lohren, just because The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963, which means obviously, that every women gets paid the same amount of men.



Honey, I don’t know what alcohol you are drinking that makes you this delusional but you need to sober up. Women are non stop advocating on social media, in traditional media, in campaigns of all sizes that they do not get equal pay for equal work in comparison to their male peers. According to a study that you can find here, “…that in 2015, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 80 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 20 percent?...At the rate of change between 1960 and 2015, women are expected to reach pay equity with men in 2059.” So congratulations Tomi, in approximately 42 years we MAY have equal pay for women. God willing you won’t be on television then, but if by some unfortunate act of God you are, then at the very least I hope you get equal pay.

But seriously, I hope you are not on television by then.

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.
