1. Kamala Harris

She is the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, coming all the way to America to pursue the American dream. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a physician and her father, Donald Harris, an Economics professor. Kamala made history in 2011 becoming the first African-American, first woman and first Asian-American woman to become the Attorney General of California.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better.

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.
