Never Trump

Don't forget intelligence when choosing our next president.

Never Trump

Have your views, your opinions, your explanations but never Trump. The most common phrase I constantly hear when discussing the 2016 election is, “Well, I’m voting for Trump because I hate Hilary.” That sentence infuriates me. Just because you don’t agree with every position Hilary Clinton has taken, or because of her “emails” or because of Benghazi, you’re going to go with Trump? Who is on another planet when it comes to reality and dignity. I get it, Hilary isn’t perfect, trust me she wasn’t my first choice either, but sadly, in this election we don’t have the choice to be picky anymore.

I don’t understand the intelligence in putting the faith of your country in a bigot, billionaire,unintelligent, narcissistic lying a**hole. Someone who is persistently in the media for going back on what he said because he was talking “figuratively" or "sarcastically.” How can people take this man serious is what I want to know. A man who has no empathy on the basic american lifestyle including the middle class and their needs. A man who believes the minimum wage is too high, while inflation rises, and wages stay flat, The man who has openly gone against the constitution by claiming if he wins, he will ban a whole religion from entering this country. A man who is laughed at by other countries for his candidacy but is supposed to act as the mediator when commander in chief with allies? The man who full strung to the heart Republicans are publicly disowning and voting for the other party instead. The man who has been in thousands of lawsuits, yes thousands. The man who if he doesn’t get his way, whines or just sues.

I understand how hard this election is for everyone, no one feels they have any choice. But think of the work Hilary Clinton has done, the policies she has been involved in enacting. Think of what she stands for. The middle class, the working American, health care, education, innovation in our capital, if Trump wins all of that will be ruined. I especially think of all the progressive policies currently in our government and how they will be destroyed, and changed if Trump is in office. Don't just think about Clinton, think about what she can do, and how she knows how to do it. She is the most qualified person who ran in this election. Think about Trump who has no intelligence on the constitution, government policies, or how to even begin running a country. It is just sad we live in a day of age where popularity comes to mind when picking the next president, people treat it like the next season of "American Idol" and no thought or effort is put into it.

So tell me, you wanna talk about morality, you wanna talk about qualification, you wanna talk about dignity? Fine, but never Trump.

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.
