In This Article:

Last week, I was listening, watching and reading about the United States Senate and the Hearing on the nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, to be an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

I was interested in this hearing because Judge Kavanaugh was already part of our government back in 1998 during the Bill Clinton impeachment. Before I begin I'd like to mention that not all progressives are Democrats and not all conservatives are Republicans.

What Happened?

Senator Kamala Harris of California, questions Judge Kavanaugh on many issues such as Abortion, Women's Rights and the thousands of documents not able to be opened to the public or questioned about. At the end of the hearings, herself and several others became tentative about the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh. Some were concerned about his allegiance to a political party more than to the constitution and the democracy that comes with it. Some even wanted to postpone the following hearings after day two of the hearings. Most Democrats are worried he will not help the citizens of this country but become a liability to the people. On the other hand, several Republicans like Senator Rob Portman of Ohio see him as a wonderful friend and a reasonable human. A person with moral values and a great example for the people. Both sides are heard and criticized by the people. One shows compassion and the other side questions the fact if Judge Kavanaugh is even the right man for the job. The whole hearing is about whether Judge Kavanaugh is suitable to be a Judge in the United States Supreme Court. Several progressives are not impressed and do not see any progression with Kavanaugh being a Judge in the United States Supreme Court - even some conservatives. Some like him because they may know him personally or he seems to know what he is doing in closed doors.

Personally, nothing was really answered in the hearings of Judge Kavanaugh but only time will tell.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
