4 SUPER Important Lessons We Can Learn From The First 2020 Presidential Debate

We all have our own opinions on what happened tonight at this debate between President Trump and Former Vice President Joe Biden. Yet we can all agree that we have learned things from this debate that will stick with us until the polls open in November.

1. Always be informed

Whether you are voting for the first time or the 50th, you need to be informed. Get to know each candidate and find out what they truly stand for. You might be a Republican leaning towards Trump or a Democrat leaning towards Biden. All that matters is finding out where you stand on your beliefs and where they line up.

2. Know the person they were

The past shouldn't define us, yet it does in so many ways. The past very much comes up in the way of wanting to become President. You truly need to look at the past of both candidates. Both of these candidates have done some not so good things in the past, but it all matters on where you want to settle your vote for the future

3, Who do you want your children looking up to 

This is the real question many parents should ask themselves. Who would they want their children looking up to? Would you want your children to be looking up to a bully and a man with past sexual assault charges on him? Or would you rather have your child look up to someone with a somewhat clean past, despite a few bad moments which he has admitted to. Who would you want your children looking up to?

4. How they have handled our current issues

Over the past few months we have had many things happen to us, the Black Lives Matter Movement and the crisis of Covid-19. We truly need to look at how these two men handled these situations, for better or for worse? What were the differences in how they each dealt with these situations. That is truly what matters, what they are each doing for the American people

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.
