Sorry, But Pushing For Trump's Impeachment Is Not Going To Help Us As A Nation

Trump has shown his deficiencies as the Commander-in-Chief, but Vice President Mike Pence is, if not worse, not a better option.

President Trump was accused of engaging a phone call with the President of Ukraine, where it is alleged by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Trump asked the Ukrainian President to investigate former Vice President and current Democratic contender Joe Biden.

The phone call is an important part of the ongoing investigation that began with a whistleblower's complaint that Trump is acting to seek the involvement of Ukraine in the upcoming 2020 Presidential election. As a result, Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has launched a formal impeachment process against President Trump. In addition to the recent Ukraine scandal, Democrats will also enable other ongoing investigations of Trump as other possible charges to press against him.

Almost three years into his presidency, this attempt at impeachment honestly sounds like a waste of time. Yes, he has shown his apparent deficiencies at the Commander-in-Chief, but to go through this entire process, with just a year of his term left, seems unnecessary. The possibility of Vice President Mike Pence taking the Oval Office is also incredibly frightening, some of his beliefs, for instance, include using money that is intended for HIV/AIDS research on conversion therapy instead, and defunding Planned Parenthood entirely. Trump, as xenophobic and ignorant as may be, is not nearly as right-wing as Pence is. A nation under Vice President Mike Pence would arguably be worse than the current state of our nation.

The sensible thing to do from here on out is to honestly sit out the rest of Trump's presidency, and instill hope into the idea that we will elect a new president in the 2020 election. No matter how much we want to believe it, impeaching Trump is not the solution that America needs.

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.

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.
