Stop Hoping That Trump Will Suck As President

We aren't happy, but we just need to deal with it

Stop Hoping That Trump Will Suck As President
Fox News

Most of us aren't happy because of this week's presidential election. I can honestly say that neither candidates were ideal, however it is important to remember what is at stake. At this point, we need to come together, turn to God, and hope for the best.

The protests that are going on are completely uncalled for. I'm no Trump supporter, and neither are most people I know, but they aren't out burning flags, beating other supporters, and just causing mass chaos on the streets. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to cry. But it's crucial to get over it and move on.

All I've seen on my Facebook and Twitter feeds are that people want Trump to be a horrible president. Why? Why do we want our country to suffer? You can call Trump a racist, a sexist, and whatever else, but you do not have to practice his beliefs. He will not make it that you have to be a racist, misogynistic asshole for the rest of your life. It doesn't work that way, and I hope you're smart enough to know that.

It is a scary world we're living in right now, and mainly because of the hatred going between the democratic and republican parties. No one has the right to rip a Hijab off of a woman's head and insult her, yet no one has the right to burn the American flag and riot through the streets. And if you think these things are okay, then maybe you're the problem.

As for Donald Trump, I hope that you are a great president. I did not vote for you, but I hope that you take the lives of innocent people-no matter race or religion- and treat them with the respect they deserve, and I hope they do the same for you. And after this week, I really hope you can make America great again.

As for those who think it's okay to hurt and belittle those with opposing opinions, I want you to take a good hard look at yourself. Is this really who a good American citizen is? No, it isn't. The way to make America great again, is to start by bettering it's people. Don't continue to hate each other, or Trump, or Clinton, or whoever. Just be happy that the election is over, and if worst comes to worst, we still have Obama for a few more weeks.

It is also important to remember who the real ruler is, and turn to him. Keep America and it's people in your prayers. Let's at least try to band together and save our country. Keep God in your heart, be compassionate, and be understanding. Let Trump do his job. Let your fellow Americans do theirs. And most importantly, keep in mind who is really in charge of things. This is all part of the plan, and we will get through it together.

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.
