As the recent election still simmers down, my thoughts about the future of our nation are still running free. As a Republican, I am one of the most hated people right now. But let me shed light on the fact that just because I am a Republican and just because I voted for Trump does not define me as an uneducated, racist, bigot, homophobic person. It means that when it comes to this Nation, Trump was the better choice in my mind. After research and watching every debate, I decided and I thought about this decision for a long time, it was Trump who would get my vote.

All my life I was raised to be a respectful hard worker. I wanted this Nation to be exactly that. Respectful. So when the election was over and the Republican party won, I thought here is a new start. A fresh four years but instead our cities are being destroyed. Our Law enforcement is fighting riots even thought nobody knows who they all voted for.

My hopes for the next four years:

I hope this nation becomes more unified. I hope this nation becomes one again. I hope that this world has less hate, and more love. I hope that our soldiers come home. I hope that President Trump stays true to his word. I hope that our nation realizes that we are all people. I hope our nation realizes that hating one another will get us nowhere. But most of all I hope this nation becomes a place that people will want to raise babies in, will want to build a home in, will want to have a long life in. I will hope that our nation returns the place that EVERYONE feels loved and welcomed.

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.

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.
