The Russians Swaying Trump's Vote As President Has To End

This has been a hot topic for the past week, since the news broke that Jared Kushner spoke to the Russians and convinced them to help sway voters to cast their ballot for Donald Trump to be President of the United States. And yet Barack Obama is being blamed. Trump is saying that he did not do enough about Russian Meddling, and that he knew about it 3 years ago when he was in office. But the question is: how? How did President Obama know about the Russian Meddling when this was just in recent news? Obama didn't have to do meddling because he had enough votes from the American people. So this accusation from Trump is false.

So the big question here is what can be done to insure that the Executive Branch of government has more checks and balances done to be sure that they are not overstepping any boundaries and participating in illegal activity? The answer to this question isn't simple at all. There could be an extra system in place that checks to be sure that the President and his cabinet are not becoming too powerful. It has been an issue multiple times in the past with former Presidents that they receive too much power so they ultimately make poor decisions that are just harming more than they are helping uphold the government. Take Richard Nixon during Watergate for example. He was given too much power so that he could lie and break into the Republican Headquarters ahead of the upcoming election for President. With more checks and balances in place, Nixon and his administration would not have gone as far as he did, and therefore would not have had to resign from office.

Every government isn't perfect, but each President of the United States should take further steps in assuring the future of our government for the American people, and should quite honestly stop with the shady decisions that they decide to do, because in the end it isn't doing anything but harming the country we live in.

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.

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.
