6 Issues That You Should Keep In Mind When Voting In The Presidential Election

It's time to get a new President into office. With the election coming up, it is time to delve deeper into the candidates that you are considering. Look closely at the issues and their stance on them. Focus not just on what is important to you, but to the country and its citizens as a whole.

1. Healthcare

Healthcare should be at the top of your list of what you look for in a candidate. No matter what your economical status, I believe that we should have universal, free healthcare for all. This is a right, not a privilege.

2. Environmental

Climate change, ecosystems, and protecting our wildlife is so important. If the candidate does not intend to put their focus onto this issue, they are not worth voting for. Taking care of our earth is a top priority.

3. Education

Personally, I think that college should be free for all. Debt is such a burden on people, and the money to go to school alone is already so high. Without education, we would not have a new generation prepared to take on the jobs to keep our country going. So take a good look at their education initiatives.

4. Economy

Without a good economy, our country will not thrive. Make sure that your vote goes to someone with a good financial plan going forward. One that is beneficial to people of all economic levels.

5. Immigration

The fact is, our current immigration system is broken. This is an issue we need to tackle now in order to be the best country we can be. The process to immigrate must be made quicker and simpler, without sacrificing our country's security. And no, the answer is not a wall. We have to do better.

6. Military

War is not something that we need to contribute towards. It is time to let our military rest and focus more on making the right decisions that do not lead to more killing.

Let's make the best decision in the Presidential Election in 2020!

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.
