I dont agree with everything he says because our country gives us the freedom to pick what we believe.

He Is OUR President.

Yes. I am a white, middle class women. Yes. Not that it should matter to you but I'll let you know anyway. I voted for Trump.

I am pro-life and I believe in same sex marriages, you should get what you work for, not all homeless people are homeless because they are lazy, minimum wage shouldn't be raised to $15 an hour, Louisiana should change its constitution so we can do budget cuts in more places than just the 2 most important policies: education and health. I believe government funds like food stamps and welfare are not bad things if you truly need them and that women need equity.

On social media everyone seems to make all white people racist, all colored people thugs, all Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese people super smart. STEREOTYPES.

According to Merriam-Webster.com a stereotype is an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic.

Just because I am white doesn't mean I am racist and just because I am a woman doesn't mean I am all for women equality. Saying all Muslims are terrorist is like saying all Whites are racist. Either way it's not accurate. Technically its equity first, equality later. You cant fight for women and men to be equal because we are not. We're different and can not be treated the same. However, if women fought for equity in how the world treats them, it would be a legitimate fight, since your demanding to have the same rights that men have. Equality only works when everyone starts at the same level, you have to have equity before equality.

I think we have a president who is finally willing to put its people first and a lot of people are just really pissed about it. But in case you didn't know; the US is over 19.8 trillion dollars in debt and has over 49,933 homeless veterans, 402,378 kids in the foster care system, along with 7.5 million of people unemployed. We cant even take care of our own people and you expect us to care for millions of others. America is not what it used to be and we are just incapable of helping everyone.

I am Pro-LIFE from a baby to elderly. Black, white, Muslim, it doesn't matter. A life is a life and this is not a Muslim ban. Its a ban against 7 countries that the majority of their population is Muslim. These countries are the countries listed by the Obama Administration as the counties of concern. But guess what? There are over 40 other countries in that surrounding area that's majority population is Muslim and they aren't ban. They aren't ban because they're has been no terrorist activity /alert/ worry coming from those places. This ban is technically not even a ban and its not permanent. They are going threw a vetting process which means they are doing background checks on people. When and If a person has been cleared they will be allowed back into the United States.President Obama did the same thing in 2011. Personally, I have no problems with people crossing the border, refugee, immigrant or just a visitor on vacation. I believe you are and should be welcome here if you come here to make a better life for yourself, applying for a visa/green card, etc, paying your taxes and being a productive member of the America society.

We call keep fighting and protesting but honestly it doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere. There was no riots, fighting, etc when the tables were turned the other way. No I don't agree with everything Trump says but that's with anything. Our country gives us the FREEDOM to let us pick and choose what we believe in. Trump wasn't even in office yet, and wasn't given a chance. So wait a few months and see where he gets us. He is our president.

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.

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.

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.
