I Asked A 5-Year-Old Controversial Questions
Vaughn Rose Springer

With the final swing before the presidential nomination upon us, there are constant battles of this versus that, left versus right. In honor of all the debates we've played drinking games to thus far, I decided to interview a five-year-old about all our favorite controversial topics, and here's how it went.

*Most of his answers were one word, so I asked "why".

Hi Dameon, how are you today?

"Hi Vaughnie. I'm good."


Can I ask you some questions?

"Yeah. Can I type?"


No. Maybe after the questions.

"Can I type on a clean page?"


Yes, but I have to ask the questions.

"Okay."


Do you know who the presidential candidates are?

"Yes. They are the people running for president."


Who do you think is going to win?

"Um. I don't know. Probably Billy George."

(I don't know a Billy George, but I suggest he gets his act together so he can win.)


Do you think college should be free?

"Yeah, because so everyone who goes into adulthood can go."


Do you think gun laws should be more strict?

"Yeah, because I can grab a real gun and shoot. And when I'm older I'm going to do that and I'm going to shoot all the Britishes."

(We had just come from a war reenactment where his father "fights" for the French. )


Do you think the drinking age should be lower?

"No."


Do you think the driving age should be lower?

"Yeah. I think I should drive because I'm going to college right now."

(Pre-K is basically college.)


Do you think we should be drinking cow's milk?

"Yeah, because it's good for us."


Do you think boys can marry boys and girls can marry girls?

"No...Yeah, because they love each other."


Do you think girls should have to pay more for pink things?

"Yeah. Because they just do."


Can boys and girls use the same bathroom?

"NOoOOooOoOOOOOoooOoOoooo."

(He later took a bath with his sister, so I don't think he understood the question."


Should girls be allowed to fight in wars and stuff?

"Yeah, because... so they can get a job."


Do you think boys and girls should get paid the same?

"Yeah... because, just yeah."


Should minimum wage be higher?

"Yeah, because... so we can get children."


Thanks for talking to me today, Dameon.

"Can I type now?"


And there ya have it, people. The answers to all your controversial topics as brought to you via a five-year-old. Ah, if only things were as simple as they were back in the day.

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.
