No, seriously, what is it going to take?

What Is It Going To Take For Trump To Lose Support?

Someone has to explain to it me because I don't get it. What is so appealing about Donald Trump? Better yet, what will it take for a Trump supporter not to vote for Trump? Help me find the answer because I'm genuinely on my last nerve when I see people support him.

He's not a smart person. Not even close to a smart person. He doesn't know how many articles in the constitution there are, didn't know what the nuclear triad was, said that global warming was a "hoax" created by the Chinese government, had no idea what the term "Brexit" meant a month before the UK voted to leave the EU. I literally don't have enough space or time to write out and/or link every single stupid thing he's ever said, that no presidential candidate on either side should be saying.

"Hey Ryan, I bet you didn't know what the Nuclear Triad was!" You're right I didn't, BUT I'M NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. I also expect my President, or future President, to know basic, and complex, things about the world.

What else infuriates me about Donald Trump's support? I don't know where he gets his information from. He can't get his information from anywhere that exists on this planet. If he did, he wouldn't say things like Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination.

He sued a TV personality over a joke about him getting $5 million if he released his birth certificate to prove he wasn't the love child of an Orange Orangutang. Really? REALLY! You all are voting for this clown?

Does a President make fun of a disability? What President tweets at 3 AM to tell people to go look up a sex tape about a woman that he already harassed? Is this really someone you want as the face of our nation?

Enough about Trump, I want to talk about you, his supporters. You're on my Facebook, my TV, my computer, you're everywhere. I've heard you enough throughout the years to get the gist of what you stand for, generally speaking. If I get this wrong I apologize, but from where I'm standing many of you identify as a "constitutional conservative." Ya'll love freedom, the constitution, our military, and Budweiser.

If you get hot and bothered by red, white, and blue, the constitution, and freedom why are you voting for Trump? Trump doesn't care about your first amendment rights. He puts the press in pens and wouldn't allow the press to cover his campaigns if he didn't like what they were saying. He also wants to open up libel laws to make it easier to sue media organizations. This a danger to freedom of the press.

Those veterans that you all claim to love so much. Well, Trump could care less about them. As if this country as a whole doesn't treat veterans like crap enough, half the country is likely going to vote for someone who exploits them. In fact, he doesn't give to charity at all.

I could go on and on, but I can't, so please, for the love of God, what is it about him? Tell me. Anyone tell me. Why him?

Is Hillary really THAT bad? I know everyone likes to say she killed four soldiers in Benghazi, but there has been 13 different investigations lead by Republicans, and they found nothing. Zip. Nadda. Ziltch.

Is she going to have some policies that you disagree with? Of course, she is. I'm going to disagree with her on all sorts of issues, but don't cut your nose to spite your face.

This isn't an article trying to endorse Hillary or try to sway your opinion, I just want to know why. Trump is everything you claim to hate, isn't smart, doesn't have the self-control to be president. It's quite possible that if the Ayatollah in Iran said one wrong thing we'd be in a nuclear winter, and he just isn't somebody that is going to represent our country in a way that the world will respect us. I don't get it. Help me understand.

He famously said that he could shoot someone and he wouldn't lose support. I'm nervously thinking that that's the only thing he's ever told the truth about.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
