Potential nominees are in ABC order.

Stacey Abrams

Stacey Abrams was the Democratic nominee for Governor in Georgia back in 2018. She lost to Brian Kemp by just over 50,000 votes. Abrams didn't concede and claimed the Kemp was intentionally barring certain groups from voting. Abram has never held national officer or statewide office, only being a state representative. Critics say she isn't experienced enough, but Biden has said he could see her as his VP.

Tammy Baldwin

Baldwin is currently a senator from Wisconsin. She is more progressive than the moderate wing of the party and she is the first LGBTQ woman to be in the senate. Baldwin comes from a state that Trump won in 2016, and she recently won re-election in 2018. Baldwin would become the first gay vice presidential nominee ever.

Catherine Cortez Masto

Cortez Masto currently is a Senator from Nevada. She is the head of the powerful Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. What does that mean? She brings a large list of donors and fundraisers who can donate cash to the Biden campaign. Cortez Masto is also latina. This could help Biden with a group he underperformed with during the Democratic Primary.

Kamala Harris

Pundits seems to think Harris will be Biden's pick for VP. Harris is a Senator from California and ran for President during the primary season. She comes from a large Democratic state and has ties between the moderate and progressive wings of the party. Harris proved to be a strong debater and comes from a wealthy Democratic donor state.

Amy Klobuchar

Senator Klobuchar dropped out and endorsed Biden right before Super Tuesday. She is currently a Senator from Minnesota and comes from the more moderate portion of the party. She comes form a midwestern state the Trump nearly won, so she might have the touch to get voters in the Rust Belt to voter for Biden. She had some strong performances in debates and can gold her own.

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren ran for the Democratic nomination as well during the primaries. Warren is younger than Biden, but is still 70 years old. She is more progressive than Biden as well, and something she would balance out the ticket between the moderates and the progressives. Biden might choose her to get more progressive voters.

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.
