How To Vote: 2016 Presidential Election
conservativetribune.com

If you vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman, you are uneducated.

If you vote for Donald Trump because he says whatever he wants, you are uneducated.

I do not say that you are uneducated as an insult, but because using those two reasons are your decision to decide who should be the next leader of the Free World is ridiculous. We could choose any loud-mouth or woman as our next President of the United States. That doesn't mean that we should. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a woman as the President, and I would love to see a President who is honest and defends what they believe. I want a President that isn't controlled by businesses and people with money, but I want them to be honest and truly care for the betterment of this wonderful country that we live in.

I would never actually tell someone how they should vote or who they should vote for. I am simply trying to provide people the best information and help them make an informed decision. For those who are voting for the first time, like myself, it is easy to not want to vote simply because of our choices. I personally think that we got a crappy deal and that we will be voting for the lesser of two evils. To every person who is eligible to vote, I implore of you: please vote. Please. I know it is cliche to say, but every vote matters. Anyone over 18 years old is deemed responsible and capable enough to have a say in who becomes the President of the United States, and people need to take that seriously. The country is left in our hands, and we can complain about all the things that are wrong in this country, but I say you should only get to complain if you do something about it. Take a stand and help our country.

I would be lying if I said I didn't have opinions regarding the two possible future leaders; I want to stay as unbiased as possible with my advice, so I will end it on this note:

Do not vote for the woman. Do not vote for the blunt man. Vote for the best person for the United States of America. Please, educate yourself on what these two really have in mind for America.

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.
