Doomsday...I Mean Election Day Is Almost Here
Scholarblogs/Emory

If you have been following my previous articles, I am happy to let you know that this will be my last article pertaining to the election.

That's because the fateful day is almost upon us. On November 8th, Americans will head to the polls to pick their poison...I mean candidate to become the supreme dictator of the United States. You know what I meant to say.

Soon, political analysis about each candidate will turn into discussions about the election results and what to brace for during the upcoming presidency. For many Americans, this will either mark victory or defeat for their political party, for others, this will be a bittersweet relief. For the months leading into the election, we have been bombarded with political ads from each candidate and levels of pandering never before seen in a presidential election. After November 8th, we will finally get a break from all the nonstop ads, endless news coverage and ridiculous commentary from reporters, candidates, and voters alike. Well, I don't think this will be the end of the ridiculous comments, especially if Trump doesn't (hopefully) get elected.

I have to say that seeing this election come to a close is a bittersweet feeling. I'll look forward to no longer have to see 24/7 coverage of the election for the next four years, but I will also miss the many entertaining moments this election had to offer. We have never seen an election quite like this, and we hopefully won't have to see one like this again, unless Kanye West still decides to run in 2020. But if Kanye does run and win in 2020, that is sure to promise entertainment and a pair of Yeezys for everyone.

Most importantly, throughout this election, we have learned things about our fellow Americans and the country we live in. We learned that unfortunately, racism and bigotry is still rampant in our society, we learned to watch which emails we delete and we learned to always turn in our tax returns.

To me, the best lesson we all can learn from this experience is that anything is possible. I mean, who would have ever thought that the next president of the United States could either be a woman or a guy that has little to no political experience at all? Considering the fact that Donald Trump could very well be the next president should make you both optimistic about your chances of running for president and extremely terrified at the fact that he will have control of the launch codes.

But in the end, we as Americans have a huge decision to make come November 8th. Either decision will make history. Just remember: don't let others sway you; whoever your choice is, is the right choice for you.

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.
