Don't stop resisting Trump - even if you're tired.

  1. Michael Flynn was fired. While the details surrounding the Flynn controversy are still foggy at best, at least he is no longer a part of the administration. Had there not been public backlash to the sketchiness surrounding Flynn, it is highly unlikely Flynn would have been forced to resign. If we had allowed this behavior to be normalized, Flynn might still be the national security advisor.
  2. Bannon was removed from the National Security Council. This happened over a month ago and I still breathe a sigh of relief typing that. When Steve Bannon, a man with no national security experience, was appointed to the NSC, this deeply troubled many national security advisers. Their opposition as well as all of ours and the public pressure resulted in his removal from the council.
  3. Kansas and Georgia. Both these states had special elections for seats in the House of Representatives. In Kansas, the Republican candidate won. However, in this deeply red district, he won only by a very slim margin. This just shows the power of the movement, and while we have work to do, it makes clear that the efforts aren’t going to waste. In Georgia, there will now be a runoff between the Democratic and Republican candidates. In the primary, the Democratic candidate won 48% of the votes. This district in Georgia is also heavily conservative.
  4. Blocking of the travel ban. Donald Trump has twice now tried - and failed - to implement a travel ban on travel and refugees from predominantly Muslim countries. Judges in multiple states have blocked this ban, deeming it unconstitutional.
  5. We are being heard. Even if we do not currently hold the power in government, we are the people of the United States and we can not be ignored. All of our protests and our calls do not go unnoticed.

It is so incredibly important that despite are the setbacks, we do not get discouraged and lose momentum. Our movement is only starting to grow, and our accomplishments thus far may be small but they have the potential to grow so much more. 100 days may have already felt like forever, but there are still so many more to go and we absolutely can not give up now. We must be equally as motivated every day as we were on election day if we want to be taken seriously, and to keep this going.

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.
