I Had A Political Change of Heart...

The candidate we need to survive

I Had A Political Change of Heart...
UCONN

After endless threats, “constructive” criticisms, arguments, and self-realizations, I have officially decided to change my political party affiliation. I know how shocking that might come across to some people but I have finally seen the light. All over the internet I have striven to make my voice and opinions heard by the public only to get my thoughts destroyed in the end. It is time for a new never before seen direction for this country and even more importantly for the world. We need a completely different perspective if we are to have a future for our children.

I have identified with a specific candidate who I truly believe represents the people and supports equal opportunity for all who are living. Let me tell you a bit about this candidate I am choosing to support. Yes, this candidate has a lot of baggage. Yes, this candidate has made many mistakes. Yes, this candidate has done many questionable things that may have cost lives. But in the end, it was always done for the best interest of the whole. I think there needs to be a fundamental shift in the way we are governed and there needs to be tremendous reform in the way leaders are chosen. In the words of my candidate: "Everyone who's alive right now. Everyone's who's made it this far. We've done the worst kinds of things just to stay alive. But we can still come back. We're not too far gone. We get to come back. I know... we all can change..."

We need to stop playing around and start getting serious about the way we are choosing to present ourselves to outsiders and I believe my candidate is the only person who will get the job done. My candidate believes not only all citizens should be allowed to carry guns but should in fact be forced to bear arms at all times. My candidate believes food, medicine, and healthcare should be available to all those alive today. They are not focused on building more borders, they are not interested in gaining more support, they just want to keep us safe. To further quote my candidate: "You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, you risk your life. Every moment now... you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you are risking it for. Now, I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. And that's enough reason to risk mine."

A true carer of others, a family oriented person, and a strong believer of risk taking for the betterment of society, there clearly is no better candidate. My candidate had a long hard horror fraught battle against one of the toughest Governors this world has ever seen but in the end he prevailed! Going forward there may be even more dangerous and threatening opponents, it is inevitable in fact, but somehow, someway my candidate always digs deep and finds the will to win. This is the candidate I want to secure my future and a future for us all.

So on this day, I denounce my prior political affiliation and embrace with open arms a new candidate and a new government for us all... a true and total Ricktatorship. This is not a democracy anymore. Not only is our next President, Rick Grimes, a strong candidate, but his choice for Vice President, Daryl Dixon, is a courageous and selfless guy who will stop at nothing to keep us all safe. I suggest you truly think hard about your choice for President, because mine promises a "Walker Free New World."

All joking aside, I am truly excited for season 7 of "The Walking Dead" to air and it's coming just in time for us to have a break from all the political chaos. Maybe Rick, Daryl, and the rest of the gang can help us see that all Republicans, Democrats, and other parties alike, have much more in common than we think.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
