God, Help Us All

The votes are in, and does it really matter? Both Trump and Clinton would have done bad, and now the country thinks they have chosen the lesser of two evils.

Remember, Remember, the 8th of November

This day will go down in history as the day our country started to fall off of its pedestal as one of the most powerful countries in the world. Yesterday, November 8th 2016, was the day that our once magnificent country voted to elect a pompous, foul-mouthed fool into the office of the presidency. Now, keep in mind, this foul mouthed fool was up against a lying, sneaking excuse for a politician, and she was no better of a choice.

BOTH Donald Trump AND Hillary Clinton would have ruined this country should they have been elected, and our country chose the pompous idiot. God help us all.

If Hillary Clinton was elected, I would be saying the same exact message as well. On the bright side, we know that Donald Trump will shout all of his plans from the mountain top instead of hiding them in emails that can be hacked. However, now the entire world sees us as a joke, and our reputation as a powerhouse is forever tarnished.

I wanted neither of them to win. I wanted this election to be thrown out in its entirety and start over with candidates that at least know what they are talking about. This campaign season was riddled with media nonsense and endless bashing of one another. Instead of trying to show the public their platforms for success, Trump and Clinton resorted to yelling at one another about why they were wrong. The election came down one sentence snippets as opposed actual quality debating.

All I can say is, God help us all. God help us all get through the next four years. God helps us all if Donald Trump actually fulfills many of the promises he made during his campaign. God help us all if a wall is built, if immigrants are forced out, and if our country is literally torn in off.

What is next for our once great country? Impeachment? War? Success maybe? It is now in Trump’ Hands. Clinton’s hands would have done just as bad. Maybe it does not even matter who won and we are all over reacting. Until we know the answer to that question...

God Help Us 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.
