Why Nicole Malliotakis Should Be The Next Mayor of NYC

She is literally the American dream, something we'd all love to achieve.

Why Nicole Malliotakis Should Be The Next Mayor of NYC

After watching the debate for NYC Mayor, I left with a feeling that Nicole Malliotakis should definitely be voted into office for mayor of NYC on November 7th. I know that New York is sold to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), but let me tell you why I believe she should be the Mayor of NYC.

If we follow the social-media-crazed Democrat logic:

She's a woman (which was enough for them to threaten about Hillary — "If you don't vote her in, you're sexist").

She's a first-generation American.

She's a minority; her mother is a Cuban exile from the Castro dictatorship.

So, automatically being that Democrats love minorities, immigrants and women, she should be voted into office as mayor.

But let me tell you why she's not, and why Democrats don't care about any of those things: because she is a Republican. But not only is she a Republican, she's one with a moral compass. A real human being. Something that we don't see every day.

For someone like myself, seeing Nicole Malliotakis on stage is an inspiration. I am a New Yorker, a woman, a first-generation American with immigrant parents just like her.

Now the actual logistics. First, she does not want to close Rikers Island. This is HUGE. Not only does Bill de Blasio want to close it, he is planning to open FOUR jails in the boroughs. Sorry, but to use taxpayer money to open FOUR NEW JAILS rather than just fixing whats broken already sounds atrocious.

Another reason I liked her is that she outright said that if she could ban lobbying, she would. Now, I know she isn't a genie that could just make my biggest wish come true, but for someone to have that sort of honesty — a politician no less! — seems unfathomable. Very rare. Almost like a unicorn. For some politicians, that's their bread and butter. No, I'm not going to name any right now so we can keep the focus on Nicole.

Nicole Malliotakis is not afraid to stand up to Bill de Blasio or Donald Trump or the DNC, which, for me, is completely empowering as they are all just signs of corruption and collusion.

Another important factor is that she wants to tackle the goddamn subway system, be it the delays or that we are all squished on top of each other with the rate of sexual harassment in there going up. A priority for her is the homeless crisis going on and, from my own anecdotal experience, it would be nice to clean up the streets and for them to get the help they need.

Lastly, another key effort Nicole pointed out is that she doesn't want NYC to be a sanctuary city. This is HUGE. Mayor De Blasio won't even comply with the federal government in releasing criminal records of illegal immigrants (including felonies)! I think everyone can agree that a murderer, rapist, or pedophile deserves to be deported back to their country. But to have a mayor who won't release the criminal records to the federal government is very scary.

Vote for Nicole Malliotakis as she is literally the American dream, something we'd all love to achieve. A politician who actually has morals and humanity left in her.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
