Thank You, Mr. President
Entrepreneur.com

Dear President Obama,

I’m a republican and probably always will be, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to see you go. We might not agree on everything and we certainly have our different opinions on issues, but that doesn’t matter. You will always be a role model and, in my mind, one of the greatest presidents in US history. Everything you’ve accomplished and everything you’ve been through inspires me, and it inspires many others as well. The past eight years with you in the Oval Office has been an honor for Americans, whether people want to admit that or not. So I’m here to say thank you.

Thank you for breaking through barriers and for moving forward no matter how much hate you’ve received throughout the past eight years. You’ve made it through discrimination, racial profiling, and sometimes pure hatred. You continued to run this country despite all of those obstacles and you’ve done a hell of a job of it.

Thank you for being unapologetically black and for embracing the fact you’re a minority. You’ve shown the world that the president doesn’t have to be just some white guy and you’ve reassured us that everyone has the ability to prosper with hard work and determination. You’ve proved the haters wrong. You’ve given hope to people and you’ve inspired many.

Thank you for always keeping it real. You’ve managed to make America laugh and cry by being so realistic and so relatable no matter what the issue is, big or small. You’ve proven that the president doesn’t have to be uptight all the time and serious every minute of the day. The president can laugh at himself. The president can get down on the floor and play with a baby. You’ve shown America so many emotions and have been able to connect with us in a unique way that no other president has before.

Thank you for empowering younger generations. You were able to reach the younger people like no other. You got people more involved and you got people to care. You've led the country with hope for the future and constantly had young lives in your heart and mind. You've helped millennials grow and you've taught us so much along the way as well.

Thank you for showing America your elegance and class. You and your family have been nothing but respectable throughout your two terms. You and your wife, Michelle, have given America a model of what true love is. You're not only a great president but also a great husband and father, and that's something everyone can look up to. It has been a pleasure being able to grow up with you and your family.

Thank you for handling this past election with sophistication. You stayed positive and you managed the chaos in our country respectfully, and you continue to do so even after the results have come in. It takes a special kind of person to sit where you sit and to be as kind, understanding, and calm as you are throughout tough times. You’re truly admirable for that.

Thank you for dedicating the past 8 years of your life to this country. Thank you for making history. Thank you for everything you’ve done and will continue to do.

Thank you for being my president.

Now go take a vacation. You and your family deserve it.

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.
