How could he lose?

My Response To Bernie Sanders' Defeat
Audio Boom

Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee. While I will congratulate Hillary Clinton on her victory, I am still saddened on our choices of this year of presidential candidates.

Even though I really do not want Donald Trump to become president, I cannot fully support Hillary Clinton as I do not think she will fully represent me. The thing that pulled my vote for Senator Sanders was how I felt how genuine he is when he speaks on issues.

Of course, I don't agree with all of the things he is trying to do, but I can honestly say that he has been fighting for others since his political career. I remember seeing a video of a Bernie Sanders rally , and protesters who took his microphone and he allowed them to speak to voice their opinions. Of course, it was ignorant of them to do that since he is for their cause, but the fact he did not silence them as they voiced their concerns speaks high volumes about it. Something similar happened to Hillary Clinton, but instead she silenced the protester as if the protester's voice did not matter. Not voting at all or voting for a third-party is pointless since that will secure Donald Trump's victory. There was a campaign that was ran clean, but it was sabotaged by his own party. I felt like there was hope to continue great leadership after President Obama. It is truly heartbreaking that he lost and how the way he lost. While Hillary Clinton's name was already established, Bernie had to actually fight for his support and name to be out there.

On social media there are a ton of Bernie Sanders supports, but also those that did not vote. It is important to get registered to vote so a person's voice will be heard.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
