12 Times You Knew You Were A Moderate

If your Republican family finds you wildly liberal and your Democratic friends find you strictly conservative... You're probably a moderate.

12 Times You Knew You Were A Moderate
BCNN1

Let's be real, if you identify yourself as a moderate, this political season was a very uncomfortable season for you. With the Democrats and the Republicans always arguing, you often felt like the child of divorced parents. Trying to make peace between two extremes is no easy task and often times people just think you can't make up your mind, but hopefully these 12 items make moderates and their friends laugh and realize what a weird, but a great position, it is to not identify with a particular party. So here are 12 times where I and maybe yourself confirmed the suspicion that you were definitely a moderate.

(Disclaimer: I am not speaking on behalf of all moderates, I'm just speaking for myself, so don't take this too seriously, it's just good fun!)

1. When you find yourself cringing at the words "always" or "never".


2. You wrote in a candidate for President, and felt like it was the best decision you could make.


3. Your conservative family members find you wildly liberal, and your liberal friends find you strictly conservative.


4. The words "Pro-Life Feminist" doesn't faze you one bit.


5. You can find the good in any President (If I could've voted back in '08, probably wouldn't have voted for Obama but hey, I can say he's done some cool things as President! Let's hope I can say the same about Trump.)


6. Joe Biden memes give you life.


7. This picture makes your heart so happy.


8. The letter Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hagar wrote to Sasha and Malia was one of your favorite things.


9. You roll your eyes every time someone says they are moving to Canada..


10. You really liked Scandal seasons 1-3 and hated it from then on.


11. You really liked Marco Rubio (Okay maybe that was just me...)


12. You know at the end of the day, whoever our President is, your duty is to be a citizen, and you want your country to succeed.

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.
