Voting Is One Of The Best Ways For People To Elicit Change And You Should Do It On November 6

I hear these phrases said quite often and it makes me sad:

"I don´t care about politics."

"It doesn't affect me so..."

"Nothing will change anyway."

Voting is one of the best ways for people to elicit change. The people are the only way that a person could get into a position of power and we can very well be a threat to someone who isn't doing the best for the country.

The current political climate can be very discouraging to some. I often feel discouraged by all the horrid things that occur and the rhetoric that is being accepted as fact, and I'm a political science major.

I can't emphasize enough how much more important it is the vote, now more than ever. At a time where we feel disappointed by the actions of our government, it is our civic duty to get to those polls. We have to show the government officials that we will not take things sitting down and we will vote them out if they are not doing what it is in the best interest for the people of this country.

The only people that can change politics and change the country is us. We hold that power. It's not just voting, it's encouraging others to vote, to become educated in the matters that concern our people, and to get involved in causes that matter to us. Politics doesn't just belong to the political scientists or government officials, it concerns EVERYONE.

If you want to live in a prosperous and equal country, it is not time to go against voting, it is time to exercise your right as an American.

Don't be discouraged because if there's any time to be excited for change, it is now. It is now when the people are seeing the injustice and the corruption in the government. It is now when the American people are coming together to improve the quality of life and gain equality for the masses.

I encourage everyone to go out and vote on November 6, not only because it affects you, but to play a part in improving the entire country.

I hope to see you at the polls.

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.

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.
