This Election Is Draining My Soul

This Election Is Draining My Soul
Scott

To be quite honest, I'm so tired that I having extreme difficulty writing this article. I was originally going to be writing about strange sexual fantasies and fetishes, but I have been so drained lately that all I want to do is just sleep for the rest of eternity. It's not because of work or school work, or even stressful events that have occurred over the past two weeks. No, it's all because of this freaking election.

Hillary versus Trump. Or, as I like to call it, a sane woman versus a bigoted, angry Cheez-it. Over the past year, I've seen it all. I've seen all the slander against her, the allegations against him, Putin endorsements, the excuses, the threats, the possible outcomes, and I'm done. Of course, I want Hillary to win. My life, as well as the lives of others like me, the lives of my sisters and mother, the lives of my friends, they are all on the line if a Trump presidency were to occur. So yes, I'm frightened because it may be possible that we only have a weekend left of normalcy.

It's extremely stressful and my body, mind, and sanity are already at empty so this is just making me spiral into extreme depression. I just want this to be done and over with. I am hoping people make the right choice and think before voting. Your vote matters, it really does. I am not going to waste my breath bashing Trump supporters; everyone has a right to their own opinion, even if that opinion is backed with misinformation and bigotry, you have the right to that. I've already used up all my energy on that crowd, and now, with what little energy I have left, I am putting it into rooting for Hillary. I understand that this article may seem incoherent, or may seem confusing at points, but honestly, we should be used to it at this point. It has literally been the theme of this election since it started. Now, I'm just going to go to bed. See you all after the dust has settled.

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.
