As we have seen in the past few months, the world that we know and love has gone downhill. From political views to the Earth, our world is not the same as it was many years ago. 10 years ago, I was in middle school, enjoying life and not worrying about much. Today, the world is different, and not as I remember growing up. The society we are in, has changed but some might argue for the better.

Technological advances have driven the society well beyond people's imagination as we are getting closer and closer to advanced life. That is a good thing about our society, but there always is negatives too. Protests, anger at politicians, and even toward our President have made me think that why is our society like this.

What drives people to go and be angry? Well I am not sure, I know that I am not angry, but people around me can be. Some might say it is because they are snowflakes, but I think it is because they do not understand the real story behind the scenes. If people were to take more time to understand both sides rather than just take one person's view, then we might, just might have a better society.

In the end, my opinion might not make much of a difference, but I always see both sides. Being a conservative, I always strive to be good and listen to others ideas, but many on the other side of the aisles, might not want to listen to me as I am not in their mind “correct”. Still, I find myself interested in the political scene, as I like to hear about what is happening in the world and not just in school. So my challenge for you reading this is to always listen to both sides before you make a decisions about the next representative in the government and understand why certain people are doing certain things, for it might help put our society back on track.

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.
