29 Questions I Have For Our New President

I wanted him to prove me wrong, but so far, he has done the exact opposite.

29 Questions I Have For Our New President
PBS

Dear Mr. Trump,

When Emma Lazarus wrote the poem that would later serve as the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, she never imagined that her country’s own leader would try to undermine America’s core values -- "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Today, thanks to you, I feel ashamed to be an American, but that doesn’t mean I want to leave. I have faith in the ACLU and the American people who are fighting the good fight. Honesty, tolerance, and decency will prevail, but until then, I have a couple of questions at the back of my mind that I've always wanted to ask you...


1. How’s Putin doing?

2. Why did you not wait for your wife to leave the car and walk up with you when greeting the Obamas? It looks like you were ignoring her for a good majority of your inauguration.

3. How do you still have access to your personal Twitter account?

4. Is your @realDonaldTrump account a Horcrux?

5. Do you actually think every media outlet except Breitbart is fake news?

6. How’s Trump University coming along for you?

7. Are you ever going to pay back those small businessmen you stiffed through your flawed methods of business?

8. Why aren’t you fully divesting your business ties and assets?

9. You know that alternative facts are actually lies, right?

10. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan sought to unite the world by tearing down walls. Why are you so hell-bent on building them?

11. Did you really have to break anti-nepotism laws just so that you could hire your son-in-law as a senior adviser?

12. Why do you want to 26,500 Americans to die because you want to repeal the Affordable Care Act?

13. How do some of your supporters not know that Obamacare and the ACA are the same exact thing?

14. Why do you want to tear families apart with your immigration measures when the Republican Party touts itself as “the party of family and marriage?”

15. Do you realize that the way you talk about your daughter Ivanka is actually really creepy?

16. Have you actually ever been in a locker room? No decent human being would ever talk about or act toward a woman the way you have.

17. Where again is the money for the wall coming from? Because Mexico sure as hell isn’t going to pay for it.

18. Do you realize that torture is not only un-American, but also ineffective?

19. Did you nominate Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education because she donated millions of dollars to the Republican Party?

20. How do you have so much disregard for the world that you can’t even admit that climate change is real?

21. How does it feel to be the most hated man in America right now?

22. Did you not think anything through when you signed that executive order suspending visas from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan?

23. Why do you fail to admit your executive order is a Muslim ban even though it seems pretty damn clear that you’re targeting Muslims?

24. Why do you want to crush students’ dreams for the sake of your bigotry?

25. Why does your Muslim ban exclude countries linked to your business empire, i.e. Saudi Arabia and Egypt?

26. If Jesus were alive today, would you turn him away because he was a refugee from the Middle East? Or, would you berate him by calling him a terrorist?

27. You see this picture?

This is Anne Frank. You know, the one who provided insight into the anti-Semitic horrors of WWII through her best-selling diary. The American government turned her and many other European-Jewish refugees away when they were trying to escape. Frank died, along with 1.1 million people, in Auschwitz. Do you realize that you’re about to do the same thing for Syrian refugees who are fighting the Islamic State and Asaad’s tyrannical regime?

28. Why did your administration fail to mention the pain and suffering of the Jews in its Holocaust Remembrance Day statement? Did Steve Bannon try to convince you that the Holocaust never happened?

29. How do you say “Make America Hate Again” in Russian?

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.
