An Open Letter To The Person Who Voted For Harambe

Twitter

I am upset with you. I am in angry at you. I am disappointed in you. Your vote counted, and you chose to vote for a gorilla, who isn’t even alive. I am just a month to young to vote, but I was so involved with this election. I did my research, watched the debates and new coverage, and figured out my beliefs. You probably have your own beliefs too, and I question why you decided to make a joke out of them. This election was important to so many people, and the right to vote is important as well, but man you blew it.

Harambe was killed, unjustly, 6 months ago. With that, people turned his death into a joke, when they could've used it to take action. I understand that your vote could have been in protest, but you are lucky to live in a country that gives you the right to vote. Even if you didn't agree with the choices, there had to be one that shared even a little bit of your ideas, and it is about choosing the best out of the options you are given, even if you do not 100% agree.

Most importantly, you should not have any complaints about our country, since you turned your vote into a horrible joke. I hope that you are able to grow up, and when the next election comes up, I hope that you do your research, and vote for a real candidate- not a dead zoo gorilla.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
