Let's Discuss The Trump Banner At Disney World

We all want to show our beliefs. We want people to know our opinions and why we are right for having those opinions. It's human nature to think you're right. It's human nature to, well..be jerks. That's exactly what I have to say about some individuals who found themselves holding a "Re-Elect Trump" banner on Main Street in Disney World.

I do not say this just because I am not a Trump supporter. I say this because what were you thinking? Do you realize that those guests walking around Disney World are not there to see that crap? We all argue enough in our daily lives about who deserves to have power and who doesn't, who deserves to be themselves and who should be punished for it. People going to Disney World are trying to escape that, even if it's just for a day.

After reading the comments on the video I noticed how many people were actually in support of these individuals, and, to be frank, it is astounding. There is a clear divide to me between people who support Trump and people who do not and it isn't just in their life values; it's in their attitudes. This act was wildly inappropriate. You would never see someone who didn't support Trump holding up a banner denouncing Trump in all caps at the Happiest Place On Earth.

The funniest part about this whole situation is that fact that these sign-wavers decided to go to a place where over half the people there can't vote! They went to Disney World! Do you want to know the target audience for Disney World? It's children! Most of the people at Disney World are children and tourists from overseas, so not much of a helpful audience to support your case.

Boy, would I have hated to be the cast member who got sent up there to deal with that.

I would understand this move if Disney acted like they were on your side, but they aren't! Last time I checked, there was an entire collection of rainbow merchandise--and, let me tell ya, it's not because Disney has a thing for leprechauns. Man, I remember how those things were flying off of the shelves when they first released. We could NOT keep the tumblers in stock to save our lives--merchandise that supports rights that many Trump supporters don't champion.

During the last election, we were kind of between a rock and a hard place. It's clear that some people just really like making it obvious that they "won."

Congratulations. I'm happy that you're happy. But I'm not happy that some people's lives were turned upside down because of your win.

Comments on the video, like "Trump build that wall!" and "We all need to do this - whenever we can," are slightly disturbing and hard to ignore. It has been reported that the man was banned from the parks, which I think is warranted.

A big problem with the display is that it could have incited conflict, which may have been its purpose from the beginning. Imagine if opposing views got violent. You really think that's appropriate in a place full of children who would have no doubt ended up in the middle of it?

Luckily, nothing like that happened, and, hopefully, nothing like this will ever happen again. Remember, you are always entitled to your views and opinions, and you have the right to speak your mind, but please also remember to do it appropriately and in good taste.

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.
