An Open Letter To Donald Trump
https://www.thenation.com/

Dear Mr. Trump,

Firstly I just want to say congratulations for being elected President of The United States of America.

While there has been a LOT of tension, and separation during this election term, I truly hope you meant what you said, when you proclaimed that you "will be the president of every American." Although I thought America was already great, I hope that you will make it greater.

There are a LOT of things we disagree on, however, I do want the best for this country, and the people in it, especially those I care for. In your platform, you have shown that racism is still alive and kicking. I hope that you do something to change that. And no, I don't mean building a wall.

Part of me hopes that you were just putting on a show for the media, during the election. Part of me hopes you're going to be one of the best presidents we've ever had. The only thing I have left is hope. Without hope, I'll have nothing but fear, and I think we have enough of that going around.

A lot of your supporters have been telling me to give you a chance. This is what you're getting from me as I'm writing this: a chance. I know a lot of people will be mad at me for writing this, but something has to change, before a lot of people get hurt.

There has been a lot of hate going around, more than there should be. You got elected as president for a reason, and while a lot of people don't like the outcome of the election, I don't see it being changed.

Sincerely,

Someone who votes for love, and not a person.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
