Thank you for failing the public.

New York Post  Writer Demolishes The Sanctity Of Journalism
NYPost

These last couple of weeks have proven that truly America chose Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to represent America's future- like the reality hit hard, and also Donald Trump's plans for the White House make as much sense as eating cereal with orange juice. Other factors include that despite the Trump children's claims, I will never believe that Donald Trump cares for women's rights, I will never believe that Trump will make "America Great Again", and most importantly I will never believe that Trump is the future of the Oval office.

Despite several news articles published about Trump's rather suspicious, benevolent, and frankly downright wrong past, Trump managed to snatch the Republican nomination right under the noses of other decent competent politicians who I think did a better job at hiding their skeletons in the closet (if they had any to hide). I think by now, news publications are rather tired of the same plain and boring news cycles covering Donald Trump's past because the truth is, the man is winning no matter how sketchy his 70 years of life is. So, what do we do now that Donald Trump is boring news? Let's shift our focus on Melania Trump, yes, because she is the one who has the chance to sit on that chair, sign bills, and ruin the life of any American who is not remotely as wealthy as her social circle.The perfect calling for the New York Post, who until their latest heinous act, I had no recollection of their publication. I didn't even remember learning about them in 9th grade history class until I looked them up on Wikipedia.

The New York Post in a not so brilliant move decided to unearth naked pictures of Melania Trump in a vain attempt to derail Donald Trump's plans for the Presidency. The pathetic move isn't even remotely as pathetic as the article written by the author, Isabel Vincent.

According to her, she is an "investigative reporter...covering political corruption" *insert confused face*. After looking high and low , I can tell you, there wasn't much investigation to be done regarding the pictures, nor did she manage to dig up political misdeeds done by Mrs. Trump. This was simply a case of fueling the need for tabloid sells, click baiting the public, and once again proving that real journalism is dead, and what truly sells are shallow articles meant to cause the wrong controversy.

I'm a firm believer that not all is fair and game when it comes to political candidates. Of course you can investigate a political candidate's spouse, but, using the political candidate as the talking point because they're the one running is the best way to have an effect on how that past directly correlates with the morals, beliefs, and judgments of the political candidate. So, Isabel Vincent, you can not humiliate and demean Melania Trump just for laughs and page views, and on top of that release an article just as shallow as your intention. Not only is it not respected but I can imagine if I ever got the heart to do something like this, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth, and a stain on my image. I recently read a New York Times article written by Jill Filipovic and it is the perfect example of how to use a political campaign spouse as the talking point.

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.
