The Presidential Election Is Here
remodeling.hw.net

With all three debates concluded and election day already here, the presidential election is getting more serious and citizens are more anxious than ever.

It has been said to be one of the most controversial elections due to the two candidates who have made it to the final running. We have Donald Trump, television celebrity, and then we have Hilary Clinton, former first lady and Secretary of State. If Clinton wins, she will be the first woman president. If Trump wins, he will be the first television celebrity to make it as a president.

The problem for a lot of Americans is they don’t like the two choices. Trump has continuously made racist remarks and derogatory comments against women. Hilary has had an FBI case against her in the search for her deleted 650,000 emails she had on a private server used for official communications.

Clintons email case was recently opened again by the FBI due to possible evidence on a laptop that belongs to Anthony Weiner, American politician and former Congressmen. Just two days before election day, FBI director said that they are no longer looking into the case because no new evidence has been found, therefore their conclusion has not changed.

The polls have become more and more undecided leading up to election day. Recently, Clinton had the lead and shortly after Trump had the lead. The predictions on the electoral map are constantly changing so it’s hard to say what the overall outcome will be.

Western Illinois University hasn’t been wrong since 1975 when predicting who will win the presidential election. Earlier this year they predicted that Trump will win. We will have to see if they can keep up their streak.

Due to all the outrage of this election, some are either choosing not to vote for either candidate or are voting for a third party. However, if you want to vote, you can do so at your local polling office if you haven’t already. Just be sure to do it by Election Day (Nov. 8) before they close.

May the results of the election be in your favor.

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.
