Opinion: 2016 Presidential Election
Wall Street Journal

This week is one of the, if not the, biggest week in the past four years. On Tuesday, November 8th, people from all over the nation will flock to their designated voting booths if they have not already voted (like me!). As we look towards the future and what we want this nation to be about, this election will be the basis for just that. After all the controversies, nasty comments and plain stupidity, I just want to be safe in my country that I love for the next four to eight years. We live in a scary time with weapons, insane people and pretty unpredictable events. I do believe that there is a candidate that will protect the American people and make those unpredictable events, predictable. I understand that every person in this country thinks their opinion is the right one and no one could tell them differently. This irks me because how can their opinion be the right one? There is no right or wrong when it comes to opinion because it is just that, an opinion. There may be facts (I use the word fact lightly) behind your opinion but it doesn't mean it is right.

If we look at facts versus opinion, that will tell a whole different story. Many people don't have facts backing their opinion. A lot of the time they are just saying what they believe without even researching what is behind their words. This is frustrating to me because I have done so much research about my opinions and I stand firm in them. When someone challenges my opinion I am more than prepared to present them with facts that have formed my opinion. My opinion is a controversial one to about half the nation, the other half basically has my same opinion and a small portion of the United States doesn't have either opinion.

On November 9th, I hope to wake up to the news that Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States. This will take a weight off of my shoulders as well as millions of Americans. I will not have to worry about my safety. I will worry less about the economy. I will not have to worry about my second amendment being taken away from me. I will be content knowing that for at least the next four years I will not have to worry about the things I would worry about if Hillary Clinton was elected President of the United Stats of America come November 8th.

Do your research and go vote on November 8th!

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.
