What I Want You To Know About Donald Trump
CNN

Our country is in the midst of a presidential election. While it is already red hot, it is only warming up. Pardon my French, but do you want to know what really pisses me off? People are so misinformed about this election because they get all their information off of Buzzfeed and Nowthis articles on Facebook and Twitter. The liberal media controls what you read, hear and see on the Internet. So I am going to try my best to give you some information about Donald Trump that you may not have known, or you think you know, but you’re wrong.

  • Donald Trump wants to get rid of all the Mexicans.
  • Donald Trump hates women.
  • Trump supporters are violent.

No. If you honestly believe that Donald Trump hates Mexican Americans or the entire country of Mexico, please just stop. Donald Trump does not want America to get rid of all the Mexican Americans, only undocumented citizens. This brings up something interesting. I see a lot of people threatening to move to Canada if America were to elect Trump. Why not move to Mexico? Mexico is full of drugs and crime. I can understand why there are so many fleeing Mexico and coming to America. But if they were to do it legally, it would not be a problem to Trump, his supporters and myself, whatsoever.

No. Donald Trump had a very large feud with Rosie O'Donnell, Megyn Kelly, and is currently going after Hillary Clinton. But by no mean does Donald Trump hate women. I understand 100 percent why he would hate Hillary Clinton and Rosie O'Donnell though. I hate Hillary Clinton with every fiber of being and I have never even met her before.

Here is another interesting and touchy subject. There are a number of Trump supporters who have been violent towards protesters. There are also a number of Bernie Sanders supporters who have been violent towards Trump supporters. This past week in San Jose, Sanders supporters were filmed assaulting a man for wearing a Trump shirt, egging a woman for wearing a Trump pin, rocking vehicles with Trump stickers on them, and other violent acts. This can go both ways. At the Trump rally I attended, we shared hot chocolate and cookies outside in the cold with the protesters. Some of whom I had classes with at school.

Capital University is a very liberal school. I got bored one day and brainstormed a fun social experiment. I put a very large Trump sign in my window and wanted to see how my colleagues would react. Every day I had someone shouting something at me through my window. I was called racist, xenophobic, sexist, misogynistic, an asshole, bastard, etc. I had rocks thrown at my window that startled me at first, but by the end of my experiment I was used to it. My favorite encounter I had, however, was one Sunday evening a man stood outside my closed blinds and windows shouting, “Come outside and show your face!”

So I decided to make things a little more interesting and put a Hillary Clinton sign in my next window to see how people would react to that. Now let me be frank, I hate Hillary Clinton more than I hate the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Golden State Warriors, and those little cube-shaped pieces of Pepperoni. With that sign hanging in my window I heard less about my Trump sign, yet nothing about the Clinton one.

This whole experiment I did was for nothing more than entertainment. I got what I expected, plus some. I just wanted to use my time to maybe inform anyone who reads this about what life is like when everyone is seemingly against you. But all I do is urge you, please don’t get all your political knowledge from Facebook. Actually, watch a debate. Go to a rally. Listen to what the candidates really have to say. What they truly stand for. Don’t get all your “facts” from edited videos meant to try to change your perception and what you see and hear.

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.
