A Race Up Trump Tower

Crazy things happen every day in life. We see videos on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many other social media sites where people do many daring activities. However, in life when you think you have seen it all people just start coming up with even more crazy stuff to do. Yesterday, around 5:30pm, I was scrolling down my Facebook timeline when I saw someone shared a video of a man climbing Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York, using suction cups. Yes, you read that right. He was climbing the tower using suction cups. Like I said before, when you think you have seen it all people create new crazy ideas for publicity.

According to USA Today, the twenty-year-old man from Virginia wanted to climb the Tower in hopes to make it to the top to speak with Donald Trump. The man started climbing the tower from the fifth floor and after several hours was pulled inside on the 21st floor by the cops. The New York police department had to break a hole in one window on the 15th floor in which the guy refused to enter into, and later had to remove another window on the 21st floor in which they finally pulled him into the building. He was then taken to a health and mental hospital in which he is being treated at this time.

Yesterday, after the man was pulled inside, Donald Trump took to Twitter and posted "Great job today by the NYPD in protecting the people and saving the climber." The cops said when they first got the call at 3:30pm they thought they were responding to a jumper. As the guy kept ascending however, they took extra precaution in case he did fall from the building when he refused to go inside on their first attempt. The cops are saying that once the man is released from the hospital they will arrest and most likely charge him with trespassing and disorderly conduct. Though all that effort went into climbing the Trump tower he would have been very disappointed if he made it to the top considering that Donald Trump was in Virginia at a campaign tour.

Though some people believe that the man did this on his own. Others are saying that he was paid by the Trump administration as a publicity stunt to promote Trump more that he already is being promoted. Whether or not that is true I truly hope that they get to the truth behind this and I am very happy to know that the young man is safe. Hopefully no one else tries something as stupid as that again. I think that the guy may have some psychological issues going on with him, but I know one thing is for sure I will be keeping him in my prayers.

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.
