A Tale of Two Candidates

It was the worst of times.

A Tale of Two Candidates

This election can’t get any crazier.. can it? In the past couple of days we’ve seen the FBI reopen the Clinton case and Trump get buried in rape accusations. With one political bomb after another being thrown, it’s difficult to foresee the outcome of the polls on November 4th. Those polls are tightening up in a way not imaginable just a couple days ago. The election is just over a week away, how much more can the public handle?

Here are some recent updates on the 2016 race.

CLINTON: A big bombshell dropped Friday, informing Americans that Hillary’s email probe would reopen in light of new evidence that could possibly indict the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate.The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, uncovered new emails that may be related to the Clinton case just days before the general election. It is extremely rare for the FBI to release information regarding an ongoing investigation like this- especially so close to a presidential election. It’s difficult to see the election of a crooked president who will also undergo a criminal investigation the first couple months in office. A YouTube video has also been released exposing rigging and tampering of the election within Clinton’s campaign.

TRUMP: Trump is get slammed with accusations of sexual assault right and left. The list of women is so long it's genuinely disgusting. His lewd comments about women were released just a few weeks ago. Consequently, people are continuing to question his unacceptable behavior and language regarding women. So in regard to Trump, it is also difficult to see the election of such a chauvinistic degenerate.

With all of this back and forth, the question that everyone is asking themselves seems to be, is either candidate fit for office? If the answer is no, can the American public elect either candidate with good conscience?

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.
