As we round the corner to the end of convention season, it has all finally become a reality: history has been made as a woman has secured the nomination for a major party. Oh also, the human equivalent of a dumpster fire utilizing only Mein Kampf as kindling secured the other nomination. So there’s that.

With all of the rhetoric and controversy that has surrounded Trump over the course of his turbulent election berth, I know that many of my colleagues are left scratching their heads and wondering (often aloud) “How could anyone ever vote for that man?”

Worry not my friends, that is the question that this guide will answer.

Step 1: Decide you’re mad. In fact, you’re mad as hell.

“I’m so mad I could kill a man with a banana!” - You, probably

Step 2: Decide that somebodyanybody?... everybody has to pay

Step 3: Realize that the best way to do the most collateral damage is by utilizing one of your most basic rights as a citizen of democracy and voting.

Step 4: Decide that you’re actively going to cast your vote vindictively. You aren’t just going to throw it away de facto by voting for a third party candidate.

Step 5: Obsessively inhale Fox News to really get into the right frame of mind.

Step 6: Hillary Clinton is literally the incarnation of the devil.

Step 7: Forget that Trump insulted Latinos.

Step 8: Forget that Trump insulted women.

Step 9: Forget that Trump insulted… Honestly, this is going to take too long. Just forget all of it. Literally, all of it. The failed businesses that screwed over employees, the multiple marriages, the brief stint on WWE. Just. Forget.

For those of you who didn’t know about this, you’re welcome.

Step 10: Begin to understand that facts are really just arbitrary.

Step 11: All lives matter!

Step 12: Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams!

Step 13: Look up who Mike Pence is.

Step 14: Decide that Mike Pence gets a pass on his voting record too.

Don’t look him in the eyes though, or he’ll give you whatever Trump gave him.

Step 15: Start to wonder why you don’t really seem to have that many minority friends anymore.

Step 16: Understand that Kim Jong Un, Saddam Hussein, and Vladimir Putin are just really misunderstood.

Step 17: Remember that anyone who disagrees with you is a loser.

Step 18: Get used to long, sleepless nights punctuated with night terrors and cold sweats.

“Hello Darkness, my old friend” — Art, Garfunkel, and you, probably

Step 19: Bake yourself a cake using your tears and the last pieces of your mortal soul. Sweeten to taste.

Step 20: Eat your cake and realize that life is really pointless as you cast your vote for America’s next (and possibly last) president.

There you have it! In 20 simple steps, you too can Make America Great Again! Probably.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
