Don't Touch The Button

Just a friendly reminder that this is our President...

"The nuclear war tweet heard 'round the world"

"Social media shudders after Trump mocks North Korea's 'button'"

These are just a couple news headlines I have seen recently.

Shuddering is quite the understatement.

It's not uncommon to hear a story of Donald Trump sticking his foot in his mouth somehow, but this time? He may have crossed the line.

It is also not a secret that President Trump has made not only himself, but the United States look bad by his tweets, but his recent tweet about his "button" could very easily be seen as a threat than an insult.

Which is definitely not OK.


I'm not sure about you, but when I see this, I think of it as a threat more than anything else.

It is hard for me to believe that our President is putting things like this on Twitter, but it seems every day I find myself cringing at his tweets.

I generally like to keep my opinions off social media, but I really can't keep quiet after this one.

So, let's think about this. President Trump is comparing the size of his button to Kim Jong Un's. The size. AND, I think we are all well aware that Kim Jong Un's button works, too.

Yeah, this is our President.

The man who is said to be the most powerful person in the world is out there insulting another leader for the supposed "size of his button."

I will never be one to say that Donald Trump is not my President because he in fact is, but that does not mean I will sit quietly and act like his actions are okay.

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.
