Uproar of Racial Discriminate After Election

Donald Trump's victory achieved 279 electoral votes but without the popular vote. This has pleased self-identified Trump supporters that are harassing minorities, and calling for more organized white supremacy.

Utah high schools have several reports of Latino students being bullied according to CNN. One student whose parents are Mexican immigrants said she was told, “You wetbacks need to go back to Mexico.” Another instance occurred in which slurs and pro-Trump slogans were scrawled in a high school in Minnesota. Furthermore, The Klu Klux Klan white supremacist group is openly canvassing for new members in Birmingham, Alabama, where flyers were scattered in driveways on the morning after the election says CNN news.

All these acts of hatred and discrimination should have been norm, or even expected in a Trump presidency. Trump has harbored these beliefs since the beginning of his campaign. However, many of his supporters remain gullible and unaware that this is now the reality of America. America will have racial slurs that are normalized in society.

There is an argument that can also be brought, that Trump only wants to kick out 'illegal immigrants'., in hear that they may sacrifice the security and safety of our country. What Trump needs to be aware, is that the sole purpose of any president should be to rid or jail people who are a threat to national security. he alienates an entire religion, race, and blames them for our country's issues. Singling out a race to 'save the white population is completely horrendous, and in many times, defeats the purpose. There have been studies reporting that criminals participate in their life of crime when they are isolated from their communities, and familites. Islation will only grow the problem. it is nevetr the correct way to address our country's issues.

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.
