"I'm not actually Pro-Trump, I was just really Anti-Hillary"....

...says all the Americans who are now trying to cover their asses.

"I'm not actually Pro-Trump, I was just really Anti-Hillary"....
CNN

With the inauguration looming in less than a week, and the President-elect scrambling to find celebrities who are willing to perform at the ceremony, many Americans are already questioning the decisions Donald Trump has made thus far in his new status.

I'll name just a few that are in newsworthy, and eye-rolling, circulation:

1. Trump's announcement of cutbacks on the Affordable Care Act. This means that millions of Americans, my son included, who depend on Medicare and Medicaid for health insurance coverage, will lose it with the elimination of Obamacare.

2. Trump's disastrous choice of staff. One example is the fact that he appointed Scott Pruitt, a known climate change skeptic and denier, as head of the EPA.

3. Trump's support of Julian Assange. Although there is speculation that his entanglement with the head of WikiLeaks, an international journalistic organization infamous for divulging secrets, may have something to do with blackmail...

4. Trump's desire to do away with 70-80% of regulations. Regulations are rules that provide the specific details to broader pieces of legislation (laws).

Donald Trump will also be the first President of the United States who has had zero experience or time spent in either the government or military professions. What a precedent this man will set for future presidents (cue eye-roll). Trump's actions so far are indicative of the magnitude of the job weighing down on him and he resorting to the "free ball it as you go" method, just to get on by.

The citizens who voted for him have kicked their feet up and leaned back with nary a care in the world. They seemingly don't care that Trump appears to be an impending doom, for they are too busy being satisfied by the fact that they were able to keep Hillary Clinton out of office. The latter is all the matters to them.

Other people tried to chalk it up to choosing the lesser of two evils. I guess we will never know for sure how things would have gone if the tables were turned and Hillary had won the election, but the optimist in me is going to hold out hope that, for the nation's sake, Trump will turn out to indeed be the lesser of the two evils.

But boy, it'd sure be nice if this all came back to bite Trump voters in the ass.

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.
