Just Not Hillary

Hillary Clinton can't be the first female president; here's why

I am proud to be a woman. One might even call me a feminist. I have always been an advocate for women's rights and I am a strong believer that everyone (not just men and women) should be viewed as equals. The rise of feminism has been exponential in the last few years and although most feminists are sane, there are the radicals. They have been given the name feminazis and tend to be over-the-top when it comes to pretty much everything and seem to want women to be better than men, which is not the point at all.

With Hillary Clinton running in this year's presidential election, the line between feminists and feminazis is becoming more distinct. A feminazi will vote for Hillary because she is a woman, which somehow qualifies her to be president over any man.

ATTENTION: if you are voting for Hillary simply because she is a woman, you are no better than the people who voted for Obama simply because he is black.

In saying this, I am not saying in any way that being a woman makes Hillary any less qualified in the same way that being black didn't make Obama any less qualified. The main thing I am saying is that people should make a more educated vote than deciding by sex, ethnicity or political party.

This being said, I would be incredibly and undoubtedly disappointed if Hillary Clinton were to be the first woman president. To start things off, she is a liar. If you watch the news at all, you know that Hillary lied about the killing of four Americans in Benghazi, saying that the attacks were spontaneous even though she knew they were planned terrorist attacks.

Worse than that, she is a criminal. She committed treason by sharing private information. According to law, all letters and emails sent or received by federal officials are considered government property. She blatantly broke the law, yet instead of a crime, it's considered a "scandal." Instead of owning up to what she did and taking the fall like a decent human being, she denied it ever happening and got away with it.

Looking back to the time of the Clinton-Gore campaign, we can't forget about Chinagate and the bribes that were taken to help siphon funds into the DNC. Or how about the missing record of Hillary firing seven employees from the United States travel office and replacing them with people from Arkansas? Or my personal favorite, the fact that they shipped furniture from the White House to their personal home and claimed it was donated. Hillary has been a part of so many "scandals" she probably can't even count how many.

Regardless of Hillary's sex, ethnic background or whatever else you want to judge people on, she is an awful candidate. If you were to describe Hillary with all of her "scandals" to someone without a name or a face, that person would probably call you an idiot for thinking that kind of person can run our country.

This is not a pro-Trump article. It is just an article saying that Hillary Clinton should not be our president and should not be remembered as our first female president. I believe if we are going to put a woman in the oval office, she should be strong and powerful, honest and a good person. There are plenty of female figures who can be looked up to and admired. I think our first female president should be a woman who young girls can look up to. Electing Hillary is not a step forward in the feminist movement; it's two steps back.

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.
