If I Were President

I waited 19 years to get my turn, my right to vote for the next President of the United States and my choices are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Who says if you host a reality TV show you can be president?

Yes, the first female president would be pretty cool, but not Hillary Clinton. Never Hillary Clinton. Not Donald Trump, definitely not Donald Trump. Therefore, I decided that I would be a better president. Here is what I would do.

1. Lower the price of state colleges.

Yes, I know that making college free is a bad idea and that we would end up paying the same amount of money in taxes. But making the price of state colleges cheaper would make everybody happy. Even if scholarships were made more accessible, people would be able to afford college and wouldn't have to pay off loans for the rest of their lives.

2. Lower the drinking age.

The drinking age in Europe is around the age of 16. They have significantly fewer problems with people around the age of 19 and 20. People over there are taught by their parents to drink socially instead of binge drinking. It is a lot safer having a lower drinking age.

3. Make college textbooks free.

There is no reason to be spending $200 on a textbook for a class you're probably already paying $600 for, at least. Making college textbooks free would be incredibly beneficial to students who are struggling to pay for college.

4. Get our citizens from around the world.

Any countries that are publicly holding American citizens, would be told that they have 48 hours to release them and send them on a flight back to the United States. If they don't, Americans would be coming to get them.

5. Declare war on ISIS.

This is something that really needs to be done. ISIS needs to be recognized as a terrorist group and they need to be stopped. Countries around the world need to join forces and defeat ISIS once and for all. Citizens need to not be afraid of ISIS and not be afraid to leave the country or go to major cities.

6. Cease funding.

Any nations that are supporting terrorist groups will no longer be receiving funding from the Unites States. It is not okay that nations that support terrorist groups have ever received funding from the United States.

7. Throw a personal party in the Oval Office.

I would lock myself in the Oval Office and jump for joy. I would sit in the big chair, jump up and down on the couches, and lay on the carpet that has the seal of the president in the middle. I would look at every single thing in the Oval Office. I would throw a personal party in the Oval Office because I am president.

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.

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.
