A Letter To America On Election Day
fotolip.com

On November 8th, 2016 a new U.S president will be elected for their first term to serve the great country of America. The presidential campaigns and debates have been nothing short of interesting. People have complained and made fun of both presidential candidates. My peers that have just turned eighteen like I have do not want to vote because they do not like their options. Social Media has blown up both candidates and made jokes that we should all either move to Canada or we should all let Kanye West be president. To sum it up, every one is confused on who to vote for and what to stand for. America is at a time of confusion and unfortunately it is time for America to decide where it stands.

I do not stand with Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, I stand with Jesus. He may not be on the ballot, but the man or woman that he will guide to lead this nation into a better place is. Each night I pray that God will guide this country back into a Godly country.

America was created by the Founding Fathers, who had a strong foundation with God. They are the reason that we have the privileges that we have and they are the reason for the opportunities that we have. America is a young, successful, and prosperous country. This is all because of God. We connected with him, trusted him, and let him guide us. I strongly believe that the reason why America is in the shape it is in today is because we have strayed away from him.

So, what does all of this mean? It means that you should vote for the person you believe will listen to God and not listen to their own will and self want. I am not going to tell you who I voted for and I am not going to tell you who to vote for. There is no need for that. The only need that we have is God, and he is always there. As a country we must turn to him. Let him save this country, because he is the only one that can.

Now, I have written this four days before election day. I have no idea who will win. But, whoever does may he or she have the same intentions for this country as God does. Do not be discouraged with whoever wins, pray that they are the answer to making this nation a nation that loves Jesus and people again. Pray that the 45th president of the United States of America has a strong foundation with God like our Founding Fathers did and pray that the United States of America will have the strongest foundation with God that it has ever had soon. God works in mysterious ways, remember that and be grateful that he blessed you to be in this country.

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.
