When Your Best Friend Comes Out As A Trump Supporter
The Sun

You two have made it so far. Beginning as young kids with nothing but ignorance figured out, your friendship has lasted and grown throughout decades. Together you have made it through the greatest ups and most severe downs, you’ve lived through a lot during the companionship and much of this had made you officially titled life long best friends. You trust each other, as the only person on this planet that truly knows you they would never hurt you.

In actuality, they would never hurt you, but this is 2016. The year where the greater portion of the American population feels cheated out of a candidate that they can cast a vote for and feel at ease with. You were set on sitting back and letting the rest of this nation get a headache for who the greater evil is, or maybe you were one of those with bags packed about to head to a place that has a choice in their election that doesn’t feel like an evil scam of a joke sporting a mustard stain on a T-shirt.

They have made up their mind, set to participating as a good example of our current version of democracy, ready to cast their vote. They are not the morbidly uneducated kind that blindly support, they are not the racists that you awfully despise, leading you to know there is no reason to disown their kind love; truly they are not the bad ones. You would react with the same distaste if they had picked the foul rubber faced lady looking horrible in the expensive dress that makes you trust her even less. So, how do you swallow this cold dark and lonely reality?

Give them flack with a light heart and do your thing, laugh bitterly. Know they are great, simply hooked by one of the bogus strings of ramble that came out of his mouth.

Actually, maybe it would be easier and more beneficial that you don’t do much; this situation with the election is trash, just be the best citizen you can.

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.
