Donald Trump Is A Literal Joke
NBC News

The other day, I was sitting in the back of a white Dodge Journey, casually talking with my friend Casey as our Uber driver chauffeured us to our destination. The radio’s volume was just high enough so that the words of the broadcaster could be made out even through our conversation. Not surprisingly, the topic of this radio show was the upcoming presidential election. As we were progressing down Baystate Road, our driver suddenly burst out in uncontrollable laughter. When we questioned why, we could barely make out the words through his howls: “Donald Trump actually has a chance of becoming our next president”.

And with that, Casey and I burst out laughing too because honestly, how ridiculous does that sound? How crazy is it that our country is just a few votes away from having an arrogant, misogynistic, childish man running our country?

Now my problems with Donald Trump are not really his policies since he has made it pretty clear from the past two debates that he actually has literally no idea what he is talking about. My problem with Donald Trump is that he is an asshole who thinks he can get away with murder because he is a white male with a big wallet.

I genuinely do not understand how so many people could want a man of his character representing our country. If I’m being honest, he doesn’t even deserve for me to call him a man. He is a child. Donald Trump does not know how to admit when he is wrong, has a temperament far worse than any elementary schooler I know and can’t even give a straight answer in a debate. How am I supposed to be able to trust a person who feels the need to put down anyone who opposes him via twitter with the security of this country?

I legitimately cannot scroll through my Facebook newsfeed without seeing a new article of the latest ridiculous comment Trump has made. I actually feel like I am in the Twilight Zone sometimes with how offensive and ignorant the comments he makes are, yet he still has a strong following.

In one of his most recently resurfaced quotes, Trump states, “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her…You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait…When you’re a star, they let you do it… You can do anything… Grab them by the pussy… You can do anything.” And guess what, I wasn’t even surprised when I heard he had said that. How god damn sad is that? What’s even more sad, is that he gets to dismiss these misogynistic comments by calling them “locker room talk” and people are actually buying it.

Honestly my uber driver seems to have the right attitude towards this election. Die-hard Trump supporters aren’t going to change their opinions no matter what crazy thing he says next. All we can do is make sure to vote and hope for the best.

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.
