Definitely not with Trump.

Change! The people are calling. They are sick and tired of the status quo.

The most recent Gallup poll shows the majority of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama’s current handle on the national issues. It is clear that, in the eyes of the American people, Barack Obama failed to deliver his mantra: “Change we can believe in.” This discontent has spawned strong support for outsider candidates like Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders, Carly Fiorina, and oh yeah, Donald Trump.

From those observations, it is easy to assume that Americans will elect a Republican in 2016; what better way of symbolizing change than voting in the other party?

However, a party change is not the movement voters seek. They are not sick of a particular party per se, but more of the politics within government. According to Gallup, the one thing more detrimental to society, in the eyes of the public, is Congress. There were points within Obama’s tenure where only 9 percent of Americans thought Congress was in any way effective.

The people want a revolution, not a reformation. The outsiders offer this.

But the real question is, can these revolutionaries win? The likely answer is no. While there are high numbers of those who look for a reconstruction of government, those who support the establishment are just as numerous. If the Democrats nominate their established candidate, Hillary Clinton, her gender will be enough to persuade a number of the revolutionaries to their side. With those numbers, Clinton would easily wash over any outsider candidate the Republicans have to offer.

So how do the Republicans combat the slightly revolutionary, traditional Democratic candidate? They nominate their own slightly revolutionary, traditional Republican candidate, the best way to combat Hillary Clinton’s literal embodiment of change.

The Republicans can also provide the same. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz both pose as “firsts” in American history as the first racially Latino presidents. If executed correctly, the Republicans should be able to easily grab more of the revolutionaries pointing at the lack of change seen in a Clinton dynasty.

Republicans can rest assured that this is a tested and proven method of success against Hillary Clinton. If they remember back to the 2008 primaries, an underdog who posed as the first black president challenged and defeated the preconceived winner of the Democratic primary.

More than revolution, people are excited to make history. Running an establishment campaign while creating a “first” in American history is the surefire way to win for either of the political parties.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
