I’ve been a huge critic of Donald Trump over the last year. During the election I was a devout Trump supporter, and I really thought that having a Republican in office would be ideal for our country.

General education classes.We all know what they are and we all seem to hate them - especially when they have nothing to do with our major. Anything from a math class, a history class or even a science class - you name it. Taking classes that are unrelated to your major can not only feel like a waste of ...
