He's changed my life in so many ways.

A Thank You Note, for Donald Trump

With just a few short days until the inauguration of the 45th, I figured that leaving a thank you note for the President to be, was a good idea. I mean, he's done so much for me, it would be wrong not to, right?

So, thank you President-elect Donald Trump. You've done so much for my life, and you don't even know it. I'm gonna lay out everything you've done for me in the next few short paragraphs!

You've caused me to purge my friends list on Facebook, as well as my friend group in real life. You've caused me to have more pride in my race and who I am than ever before in my life. You've caused me, and probably lots of other people, to see the racism that we've been taught doesn't exist, for so long.

You made me get educated on politics, #BlackLivesMatter, and black history more than ever before. You made me look further into the motives behind what people say, and how they act. You made me speculate and inquire about the philosophy of race, and skin color, and partially devote my time in college, to learning about ethics.

You showed me what people really don't give a crap about what happens to me, or people like me. You showed me that even though "conservatives" (if we can even call you one at that), claim they care about human life, they still plan to defund Planned Parenthood due to the small percentage of the organization that is devoted to providing abortions. You showed me that providing health care for women, contraceptives, STD testing, and a load of other crucial healthcare procedures aren't important to you.

So, thank you, Donald Trump. You've shown me so much and changed my life.

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.
