The Right, The Left And Those Effected In Between

The Right, The Left And Those Effected In Between

Since this past election in 2016, I feel like America has been split up into three groups and I wanted to get your opinion on my viewpoint. The first group that America has is the traditional political machine . Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are the leaders of this group. This is the group that would say "I am here to make a change for America." When in hindsight , all they ever did was stick with the status quo that would fund their pockets and push their money pile higher and higher.

The second group in America are the "controlled anger group". In my opinion , these people are the ones who voted and feel vindicated by Trumps win. A lot of these people feel like government isn't the answer , but the problem . These people are also people who looked up to Ronald Reagan and needed to find someone who gave a feeling that they would "Make America Great Again." They resent the government helping people because they feel deep in their hearts that government is the problem and not the solution.

The third group that America is split up into is called the progressive party. This is a party that was born off of liberal ideals and wanted to actually make a difference for the working mans life and hope that he would be able to get enough money to send his kids to college without worrying about saving up or worrying about going into debt. Bernie Sanders was the leading force behind this movement and it made quite a big impact on the political spectrum. Some people believe that Hillary lost because of Bernie Sanders, which in my opinion is not completely accurate. The problem with Hillary Clinton is that she was not relatable to a lot of her voters and therefore , people who intended to vote for her turned out to vote for Bernie because he seemed more genuine about what he had to say.

Anyway, that is my opinion on America today and I was interested into wondering what your viewpoint was.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
