15 presidential candidates better than Donald Trump

It's no secret how I feel about this upcoming election. Both candidates are equally not my first choice. After watching the debates and listening to Donald Trump's recent declaration about how much he loves women —

so much so that'd he'd like to sexually assault them —

I am 100 percent sure, no scratch that 1000 percent sure that there is a plethora of more suitable candidates than he is. I'm beginning to think that Trump was never intended to be a serious presidential contender to begin with but rather used as a pawn or a distraction. That's just my personal theory however, if he were to withdraw from the race here are a few suggestions that I think would make way more suitable candidates than Donald Trump:

15. Tony the Tiger

Because he's grrreat!

14. A tangerine

Unlike Trump, it can actually pull off the color orange.

13. Ivanka Trump

She could actually have a promising political career. But then again that means we'd also probably have to see more of not just her father, but Eric and Donald Jr. as well and let's be real, those two make us all feel like we're in the middle of The Purge.

12. Kanye West

Sure the state dinners would be an over-the-top display of opulence filled with pointless rants about how much Kanye loves himself, but again, at least he's not Donald Trump. Not to mention the inauguration would be live af.

11. The PB&J sandwich I'm eating while writing this

10. Pharrell's Hat

That hat would look hella good on the campaign trail and you know it.

9. Any Kardashian/Jenner (except Kim)

Sorry Kim but I can't take the chance of you accidentally sending us into war because you thought Kim Jong-un was the new Snapchat filter based on yourself.

8. Spongebob Squarepants

♪♪ F is for friends who do stuff together. U is for u and me. N is for numbskull and nincompoop which is what we'll have with a Trump presidency. ♪♪

7. The lady who took my order at Taco Bell earlier

She seemed legit and there will indeed be taco trucks on every corner. Tacos and chalupas for us all!

6. Binya Binya Pollywog

We all know the Gullah Gullah Island theme song used to be the hottest track back in the day. Don't lie, you know you used to turn up to that.

5. Ren and/or Stimpy

4. My general manager at Chili's

Who oddly refers to himself as "The General" anyways. Hey if you can run a restaurant why can't you run a country too.

3. Kenan & Kel

This country needs laughter and who better to bring it to us than these two? Plus I'm totally down to have orange soda as a national beverage.

2. A fart

Because just like the Donald, it too is like shit mixed with 'I'll be damned.'

1. Beyoncé

No explanation needed.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.
