I may be a bit biased given that I am a very loyal Democrat; however, it is with good cause that I fully support this political party. I am a firm believer that Democrats are best suited for the United States and that this party is the best representation of American values - as per the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

It is incredibly hard to deny that Democrats hold these values as their core values.

1. Democrats are better for the economy

Per this graph from Business Insider, it is evident that Democrats do, on average, twice as better in growing the American economy. If you were looking for the "party of smart economics," the GOP is not the party for you.

2. Democrats belong to a party of inclusivity

When you look at a group of Democrats, you are going to see much more diversity than you would looking at a group of Republicans. The Democratic Party is the party of POC, LGBT, Women, and any other minority group you can think of. Our diversity gives us a much broader view on our outlooks than what many of the other sides of the aisle would find comfortable.

3. Democrats support public education

Polls show that Democrats are far more likely to support more funding for public schools than Republicans. Democrats tend to view a strong public education system to be the backbone of the country, and ensuring a great education for everyone is more than enough reason to vote blue.

4. Democrats believe in climate change


I'm not sure that this even needs to be explained, but I will explain anyway. 97% of climate scientists believe climate change is occurring and is being hastened by human activity. Protecting the environment is a key issue for the Democratic Party.

5. Democrats believe healthcare is a human right

Achieving Universal Healthcare has been a vision for the party since President Truman, and within the last few decades with the help of CHIP (spearheaded by Hillary Clinton) and the Affordable Care Act (passed under President Obama), Democrats are closer than ever to guaranteeing healthcare for all.

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.
