3 Things Trump Has Already Done As 45th President
The Daily Dot

When Inauguration day dawned upon us, and we watched as Trump was officially sworn in as the USA's 45th president, some of us were probably walking around in a daze of disbelief and worry about the future. I know I was.

Instead of all of us worrying for some time and eventually falling back into a routine of apathy towards politics, it's crucial that we do not stop paying attention to this man who has become our president. We should keep ourselves aware of his endeavors and the tasks he plans on undertaking. As always, awareness is the key to combating ignorance.

So, without further ado, here is a list of three things Trump has already done as the 45th president of the United States.

1) Making a move against Obamacare

On his first day in office, while the rest of us were still mourning the exit of Obama, Trump signed an executive order that, according to the CNN, "directs the secretary of health and human services, as well as other agencies, to interpret regulations as loosely as allowed to minimize the financial burden on individuals, insurers, health care providers and others." Many Republicans in Congress are in agreement that the act should be repealed as well.

2) Firing all foreign US ambassadors

Trump made a demand that they all leave by mid-day on the day of his inauguration, (those chosen by Obama), but has no replacements set up.

3) Raised mortgage bills

According to USA Today, during the first day of Trump's presidency, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development sent out a letter to lenders and others that suspended "the 0.25 percentage point premium rate cut for Federal Housing Administration-backed loans." According to senator Chuck Schumer, that very cut could have saved homeowners on a $200000 mortgage around $29 a month.

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.
