You Are Raping Me By Voting For Donald Trump
New York Times

People I know, that I am related to, am friends with, and work with, are considering voting for Donald Trump. I simply don't understand how they can look me in the eyes and say that they believe he will be fit for President. Imagine the things he says about women...being said about your wife, daughter, sister, girlfriend, neighbor, or classmate. All of these women are people, the ones you know and the ones you don't. Imagine every woman in this country fearing for her safety.

Imagine him saying "I'd just kiss her, I won't even wait," about ME.

Imagine him saying "I'm a star, she'll let me do it, I can do anything," about ME.

Imagine him saying "I'll just grab her by the pussy," about ME.

Are you uncomfortable yet? At the thought of a man thinking and acting upon those thoughts about a girl that you know, love, and see every day? He has said these things (and worse) to and about other people's loved ones. You shouldn't have to think of women as related to you to feel terrified for them and for the state of this country. How do you think these women feel? Scared to death? I do. And you should too.

You want this man to be the President of the United States? You're just as disgusting as he is, because by voting for him, you are saying that it is okay to speak that way about women. You are saying that it's okay for men to look at me and yell things about my body and what they'd do to it. You are saying that it's okay for a man who "wants me" to do whatever he can to attain me. You are saying that it's okay for me to be degraded, harassed, assaulted, and raped.

When you vote in November, I hope you look at the ballot and see your loved ones, I hope you see women as people. When you see Secretary Clinton's name, see your daughters living and thriving. When you see Donald's, see your daughters cowering in fear in an alleyway from a man who wants to abuse them. It's not a dark alleyway in the middle of the night. It's daylight. And you walk by and see it happening, but you keep walking and don't do a damn thing.

That's what you're doing by voting for Donald Trump.

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.

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.
