Let your voice be heard

How to Boycott Trump
LA Times

Everyone is entitled to their own political opinion. However, if you as an individual do not happen to support Trump, you are not forced to respect him or accept that he is days away from being sworn into office. Much like groups of Americans back during the 2008 election did not accept Obama's presidency.

Every individual has a voice. You can choose to express your discontent with current American politics like generations before by protesting.

The Guardian, a U.K. news site, has published a list of protests occurring in Washington D.C on the day on and after the inauguration. Protests are a good way to make your opinions heard and to firmly stand up for what you believe in.

Can't get to Washington D.C? Plan your own protest: spread the word, make signs, march down busy streets, and have your voice heard. A powerful protest doesn't have to only take place in the country's capital, they can happen anywhere.

You can also skip the inauguration broadcasts. According to Snopes.com, whether a TV is off or on another channel may not affect ratings significantly, but it's basically a game of chance. At random, if your household is picked then ratings and viewership are more significant.

The point is that there are a variety of ways to voice your opinion. Face the reality but don't go down without a fight.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
