Ever since Trump was elected president, Trump supporters constantly kept saying to give him a chance. They said that despite everything he said throughout the election, he was going to a good president. But ever since his inauguration, everything has gone downhill. In just 8 days, he has managed to get 53% of the U.S. population against him.

Within his first 8 days in office, he has signed off on so many executive orders that affect a variety of different people in this country and around the world. He made an executive order about starting construction on the border wall, and he plans on using American tax dollars to pay for this wall. Then after it's finished he plans on making Mexico reimburse the U.S. for the wall. However, none of this is actually possible. Unless he plans on going to war with Mexico so they can pay for the wall, they aren't going to actually pay for it, no matter what Trump says. At this point, Mexico is done with the U.S. and Trump, they even got to the point of boycotting all of the U.S. companies in Mexico. The U.S. is going to lose a lot of money due to this boycott. But Trump has not realized that yet, he's acting as if this is some kind of game.

On top of that, he put out a ban of all Muslim refugees from 7 different countries, from entering the U.S., also including those who have visas. People's lives are in danger in some of these countries and Trump is just choosing to turn his back on them. He is choosing not to help them in their time of need. Along with this, the people who do have visas and are from these countries are in in danger of being deported or if they are outside the country they are not able to re-enter the country. This is due to the fact that these countries are on some kind of terrorist list and because of this, Trump believes that the people from these countries are some kind of danger; when most of them are fleeing whatever horrible living situations their countries are going through.

Trump has just caused a lot of chaos and has created a lot of tension between the U.S. and other countries. He has completely dismantled what a democracy is and has caused for a lot of issues to grow. A lot of people, especially in other countries, are against what is going on right now in the U.S. For most of us, we don't see it getting any better any time soon. I honestly don't even know what more to expect from him, at this point, all hell has broken loose. I just have to hope for the best.

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.
