Why you'll never have my vote.

To Donald Trump
Dominick Reuter

Mr. Trump,

You're quite the personality, probably one of the most captivating candidates throughout past elections. You create headlines simply by walking into the GOP debates, and you use your charisma to present yourself as the alternative the American public wants, the one they need.

But you're not.

You are a reality star, a failed businessman, a bigot and an unqualified presidential candidate.

I'm honestly terrified by the amount of supporters you've gathered through your hate and ignorance, and how that will skew who will sit in the oval office after the upcoming presidential election.

Let me lay out all my reasons behind why you will never receive my vote.

You're unqualified.

Unlike every other president that served the United States, you've never had a single day of public office or military experience. I'm sorry to inform you that hosting "The Apprentice" and running a real estate business is not the same thing as running an entire country and leaning on your decisions to run smoothly.

If this were any other job, no one would hire you without previous experience in the industry; so for president, a reality star and former real estate mogul with no governmental/military experience shouldn't run a country on his own.

I want someone that I can trust to hold the codes of the US nuclear weapons and understand the consequences of their use for our country and the world. And the public needs someone that comprehends the problems and limitations in the governmental system and can make the appropriate choices when the country in is a crisis.

You're ignorant about national issues

You've publicly admitted to being ignorant of issues dealing with nuclear weapons and the current nuclear tests in North Korea to causes of autism to the effects of your tax plan on the deficit and much more.

Why should I give to my vote to someone doesn't even care enough to prepare himself properly for GOP candidate debates? Do you think that makes me want to vote for you, someone who doesn't even inform himself on issues that are critical to our nation's public interest?

You're ridiculous.

It's governmental officials' duty to stay informed of the public interests and create a dialogue that improves our country's policies, not spew hatred to the minorities that make up our populations. All your 'policies' and plans are based on bias opinions and faulty evidence instead of facts.

You pass yourself as someone who is challenging the system and creating discourse for the republican party, but you're actually just uninformed about how politics work.

You're a narcissist and a bigot.

You commend yourself for your excellence in business and in extremist approaches to politics. But someone that holds the highest position in our country shouldn't rely on just himself and his opinions to make choices for an entire country full of different ethnicities, races and opinions.

You've made it clear about your intolerance towards Mexicans, Muslims and women despite their integrated role within our society. And you are building a huge wall of hatred around yourself, based on narcissism and an appeal to the Christian white man.

You need to get over yourself and respect the people that make up our country if you want to hold any true leadership within our government because people want someone who is a role model that kids can look up to and someone they can lean on for leadership, not someone who solves their problems with walls and inconsistent polices.

Honestly, there are many reasons why neither republicans or democrats should support your current campaign. But for anyone supports you, I just hope they see past your charisma and extremist speeches to see what's best for them and our country.

It doesn't even have anything to do with your party; it's about you.

Like President Obama said, I believe that the America will see past your gimmicks to know what it really takes to be the leader and president of the United States of America.

If you really want to change America and our governmental system, use your fame to promote positive change through public instead of this insane crusade for a position you aren't ready for.

Sincerely,

A concerned citizen

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.
