How I Feel About This Presidential Election
E & T News

Everyone knows the two infamous candidates running for POTUS; Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Now whoever you support...I try not to judge. However, sometimes it feels that this presidential race is an insult to our intelligence. We have the honor to chose between a candidate who is a full blown sexist and racist or we can chose the candidate who sends illegal e-mails with confidential information and lies through her teeth. Now, some of us have contemplated moving to Canada or simply not voting all together. I wish I could move to Canada, but lets be honest...we won't do that. In stressful times like these, I wish I could vote for someone who truly deserves it: Leslie Knope.

Leslie Knope knows what's truly important in life: hard work, friends and waffles . Need I say more?

Now you might not be political at all, and that's OK. You can be like Samantha from Sex and the City. You can just accept that this race for POTUS has gone down the toilet. Try to keep the glass half full like she does.


Or you can just give up on hope with the next four years all together. Because when you see open Trump supporters who believe he's "unconventional" and can "make America great again" you want to scream. You also question the sanity and the IQ of those people and want to burn every Trump sticker and sign you see.

And the thought of Hillary becoming POTUS makes you cringe because she literally lies through her teeth about her "secret" e-mails and the Benghazi terrorist attack. Not to mention her stance on gay marriage and how she "conveniently" became a supporter after the Supreme Court ruling when she was clearly against it from the beginning...

So you immediately research any other possible candidates that you could chose from...because these two candidates are just the cream of the crop. *sigh*


But then you realize that it's a slim chance that they will even win and you realize that we're doomed and you wonder what will happen to us. Will we have a giant wall? Will we ban Muslims? Will we allow a pathological liar and hypocrite to speak for us?

So you look for any other possible candidates or options...and you wonder if Lil' Sebastian can run for president.

So you hide under your blanket and pray for a miracle.

Now I don't know about you, but I plan to hide under my bed and pray for a miracle. But in all seriousness, whoever wins in this election we just need to remember that it's very difficult for a POTUS to make a significant difference in 4 years. Yes, we don't have any good candidates running but for us die-hard Sander's supporters...there's always next year.

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.

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.
