3 Important Things To Remember After This Presidential Election

For some/most of us, we did not like the way the Presidential election happened. The person who won the Presidential election has no political experience and is basically a celebrity. We are losing an extraordinary and great President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The U.S. House of Representatives will consist mostly of Republicans than Democrats again.

With all of these things happening and more, it seems change will never come.

You may have voted for other things that were on the ballot and it may not have turn out the way you wanted to, but you still have the ability to change that.

Here are three important things to remember after this presidential election:

1. Voting Matters

I have heard various people say that "Voting does not matter." That statement itself is blasphemous and is not true. You can not expect change by voting in the Presidential election and not vote in your local and state elections Voting is a process and therefore requires you to be at all elections because state representatives and senators play a crucial role in our government and laws they pass.

2. Be the change you want to be

I think a lot of times we say that we want change but do not want to do what it takes to achieve it. To become the change that you vision, it begins with you. You have to be able to do the right thing (even if that means being the bigger person) and realize you are human. Be accountable for your actions but influence others through your actions.

3. Help, Listen and LOVE each other.

While it may tough to hold people accountable, you can help others and also learn from them. Love is one of the greatest and best things you can ever do. You do not have to agree with everybody or like their opinions and actions. Instead, you can be respectful to them and show love to them. By showing love to everybody, we can be able to move forward and become better people.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
