Society Is A Basket Of 'Deplorables'
JUSTIN SULLIVAN

All monsters are human.

We are born naïve. There is no way for us to know the evil that is in our world around us as an infant.

Black and white are all we can see at first. Able to only detect light, motion and shapes. The people we see have no characteristics at the first stage of life. In time, we attribute age and influence to them. Teachers, parents, and ones around us add to our malleable bank of opinion, vulnerable to a general judgment due to our community around us.

Stigma and judgment are what causes us to become deplorable. Deplorable is not even a noun, but recently Hillary Clinton used it as one and many have followed. Clinton is deplorable by calling others deplorable; therefore, adding to the stigma of judging others based on a general opinion.

Kim Jong-un is successfully firing nukes, Syria is in a “ceasefire,” innocent children are being blown to bits and Russian’s are hacking private emails and health records. These actions have horrible outcomes, but no apparent positive results. No one wins here.

These people have malintent due to their community influence from stage one-infancy, growing up and having a constant idea of others drilled into our heads. We are manipulated by our cultures and societal norms, naturally wanting to fit in. Peel our skin back and we are all the same, but we turn our backs on this notion.

Turn on CNN, read The New York Times, we all watch what is going on around us and have an opinion, but expect others to do something about it. The problem is, these people also expect others to do something about the horror in our world, so nothing is changed.

As a result, we are all couch potatoes sitting on our asses waiting for nothing.

Now I am going to help Hillary out and all those other political figures (Mike Pence) in redefining this definition. Let's stop pointing fingers at “who’s the deplorable here.”

Deplorable: all of us who have a generated opinion on the world around us as a result of predisposed judgments passed down to us and stigmas that are stuck like gum on the bottom of a shoe.

Let’s all change and take responsibility for the harsh, unaware judgment we embody and choose to ignore.

As Little Red Riding Hood took her basket of goods to see granny, she had no bad view of the wolf in front of her; she saw the world as good. Let’s embrace that good that we see in her basket (who doesn’t love a good pastry) and in herself.

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.
