Dear Shelby,

As I admire your thoughts on our dictator. Let's take time to reflect on what he's really done for our country, that's right, absolutely nothing. How many trump supports does it take to screw in a light-bulb? All of you because maybe it'll make the light bulb go off in his head and stop making stupid choices. You are basically saying "because you are illegal you don't have the right to be here", well that's a twisted way of thinking. You are saying citizens who have lived the "american dream" for many years have to be deported because they are illegal? You're saying that if a person has lived here for 30+ years, but doesn't have his/her papers, has to go back to a strange country now because they are illegal?

Now let's talk about those "foreign policies" you so kindly mentioned. What did Trump say in his election? Oh yea- "The U.S.," he declared upon announcing his presidential campaign, "has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems." How is someone wanting a better life for themselves considered them being "dumped" on us. You are supporting a person who doesn't understand how some people are coming over with nothing but a trash bag full of clothes and children clinging to their clothing to have a better life. Donald Trump has been fed with a silver spoon his entire life, so I wouldn't expect you or him to understand how that feels.

What we needed was someone who was going to see what is wrong and what's right. Not someone whose health care bill got rejected by republicans. We needed someone who was going to give us that "make America great again" slogan you used, not someone who is sending us into World War 3 because bombing an entire country was going to "make us great again."

I was one of those people who said "If Trump wins I'm moving to Canada" I was worried for the LGBTQ community, I am worried because I am a woman. I am worried because I am a bi-sexual woman living in a world that is drastically changing, he targeted us in his campaign and you can not sit here and tell me you were also a little worried too. I took place in those protests you mentioned as well, the one we had here was beautiful and I wish you could of seen it. We shouldn't want or need to put a ban on an entire religious demographic because Trump is scared. He's caused turmoil in our country. You say you want us to be united but that will never happen with him in office, I understand burning the flag is a big no no. But, you have to realize how scared we are and still am.

You said he gets to appoint three new judges and that's cool and all. but he still has 300 spots to fill in the executive branch, he's already fired 46 of President Obamas justice department attorneys.

How are we going to overturn Row vs Wade? That case holds so much historic power, it can not simply be overturned because King Trump goes "off with its head." Being a pro-choice woman, I believe we should still have outreach programs, like planned parenthood. The whole "pro-life" movement is so twisted. You want babies to be born, wanted or not, but if people deliver unwanted babies you are suggesting over-crowded orphanages and homes. You are suggesting a higher fetal morality rate because people can't care for the babies you made them keep. You are suggesting that it's our fault if we fall pregnant but birth control and condoms aren't 100% effective. You are suggesting if we go full term with a baby that could possibly kill us for being pregnant then it is our fault.

"I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton because she's woman." That was taken right from your article. Let me stop you and tell you how f**ked up that is. You are telling me you didn't vote for a perfectly good candidate because of her gender. That's royally screwed and you should know that. I voted for Hilary because she promised us a future, she didn't promise us a world that was run like a business when the world needed a leader not a dictator. I didn't walk around a say "I didn't vote for Trump because he is a man," because I am not sexist. You stating that, you just made a sexist comment but you claim you are not sexist.

I never mentioned Trump in this article as President because #NotMyPresident.

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.
