Donald Trump Is Not A Dictator Yet

I hope he never becomes one.

Donald Trump Is Not A Dictator Yet
Observer

It has recently come to pass that the president of the United States of America, one Donald J. Trump, has enacted an executive order banning Muslims from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Why would the president do this instead of just banning all Muslims from entering or leaving the US? The truth is that Trump doesn't directly do business with these particular countries. It can't be said for certain if this is WHY Trump decided to ban these specific countries but America can be certain that this will have long lasting effects on a grand scale.

What Donald Trump did by enacting this executive order was to not only challenge the likes of radical terrorists groups around the world, but to also further separate Americans. This has already exploded into another topic that is polarizing America. Whether you agree with what he did or not it is probably very hard to understand or empathize with the other side of the debate. Donald Trump has created another shouting match for America and now the world to partake in. With tensions so high it's only a matter of time before something gives.

People are being detained at airports. Families are being separated around the world; either by distance, by barriers imposed by the American government, or by political belief. No one knows what's going to happen. The people don't know, the media doesn't know, and the government itself has no clue what the next four years will hold.

It wasn't long ago that people rallied behind a man who blamed a religious minority for their problems. The people felt that there was something wrong. They felt that they weren't being represented or being dealt with fairly. One man took hold of the people's disgust and frustration and told them he could solve their problems. He told the people who's fault it was. He slowly enacted changes that marginalized and segregated people. The ones who disagreed with him voiced their dissent. They said that it was wrong but they didn't fight hard enough before it was too late. Eventually that man had the religious minority corralled into camps and put to death by the millions. But he did not stop their. He realized that there were other people to blame as well, the other dissenters. He started with the religious minority, the Jews, and when he realized that no one would stop him he went after Gypsies, Poles, Slavs, homosexuals, and anyone who did not submit to his regime.

There is a reason that they say history repeats itself.

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.
