Coming of the new year marks one year closer to the 2020 Presidential Election. And that means some politicians have their eyes set on the Oval Office. With the Trump administration having some type of news-story every day it seems, many are ready to get him out.

And yes - I am looking at every young voter who is finally going to be eligible to vote - get out in 2020 and vote. But, who has their eyes on the prize so far? Who should we look for to possibly clinch the Democratic Nomination?

1. Joe Biden

I love Joe Biden, and according to the news, the former Vice-President is in the lead for being the potential Democratic Nominee in 2020.

In an Iowa Poll, Biden, O'Rourke, and Sanders are lead the Democratic caucus.

But, the real question is, is Biden wanting to?

2. Bernie Sanders

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is another one to keep an eye for come the 2020 elections. A favorite amongst young voters back in 2016, Sanders started what he called a "Revolution". He focused on the young voters, gaining the popular support for being the democratic nominee but lost to Hillary Clinton.

With the backing Sanders had in 2016, he is a top contender to run for 2020.

3. Beto O'Rourke 

One of the most heartbreaking races in the midterms, O'Rourke was a huge favorite down in Texas when running for Ted Cruz's seat in the Senate. One of the closet races down in Texas, O'Rourke loss struck the hearts of many back in November.

O'Rourke could easily become a top nominee come the 2020 elections- he still the hearts of many with his passion and work.

4. Cory Booker 

Senator Cory Booker said that over the Holidays he will be deciding if he will be running for the 2020 presidential election. Earlier this year he mentioned about running in 2020, but does he have enough backing to get him far in the game?

5. Elizabeth Warren

We have seen Senator Elizabeth Warren in action and is one of the Dems top tier progressives in their party's wing. Back in 2016, Warren had high odds of being President if she ran, but with recent controversies, her backing has slightly declined.

Could Warren pull off a 2020 win for the Dems?

The list if potential democratic nominees go on and on, but the top three contenders are the ones to keep on eye out for come 2019. Who will make the move first?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
