'Twas the Night of the Election

A political poem

13
'Twas the Night of the Election

'Twas the night of the election

and all in the nation

had to choose between a lady

and an orange crustacean.

As the people deposit

their ballots with care,

they fear of a future

of tiny hands and plastic hair.

The Donald entices

with his calls for change

and making America great,

but his methods are strange.

His rhetoric is hateful

and only meant to cause drama,

all he knows are Twitter wars

and how to shit on Obama.

I see what supporters

would get from his speech,

since Obama's obviously a terrorist

and should be impeached.

Obamacare's clearly

meant to be evil,

it does nothing but cause

private insurance upheaval.

But I'd think that cheap health care

would be a small price to pay

to keep out of office

a man endorsed by the KKK.

Now it's time to get real

and consider your choices,

because all of your votes

serve as all of your voices.

Do you want badass Hillary

fighting for rights

of the women of the nation

every morning and night?

A candidate who uses

her politics acumen

To ensure all her constituents

are treated like humans?

Or do you want Trump,

of whom I have exhausted

all my words to describe

everyone he's accosted?

'Twas the night before the election

and as I finish up,

I have one request, America:

Please don't fuck this up.

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.
