Do People Actually Want President-Elect Donald Trump To Fail?

This past election has been, to put it lightly, controversial. Between a political outsider who has never been directly involved in politics, to someone who was under investigation from the FBI. It seems as if this has been the most polarized election that America has ever had, a year of extremes.

However, no matter the rhyme or reason, the outcome is that Donald Trump is going to be the President of the United States on January 20th, 2017. As a result of this and the fast approaching Inauguration date, I have heard a lot of negativity. It seems as if you can't get on the internet or watch the news without seeing protests. Now, I'm a firm believer in standing up for what you believe in, and I believe that it's a Constitutionally given right that you may do so. However, I also believe that it comes to a point where you have to accept that some things are going to happen -- whether you like it or not.

Of all that I have heard about our upcoming President, what bothers me the most is that some people are actually wanting him to fail. That's right -- I have read (on various forms of social media) that some Americans want Donald Trump to fail as President. Now, regardless of your political ideologies, it is absolutely ridiculous to want the leader of your own country to fail, just because you disagree with him. We are one country, all in this together. If he is a horrible leader, then it is all of us that are going to suffer -- regardless of who you voted for.

Democrat, Republican or Independent Come January 20th, Donald Trump will be the President of the United States. If he fails, we are all coming down with him. It's time to start praying for no only the country, but for the leader that will step into power.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

Romans 13:1.

It's time that we trust that, even in the face of adversity, God is in control.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
