Why We're Doomed This Election

This election has definitely been one for the books. It is to the point now where a lot of people have the mindset of 'either or, we are screwed.' In the end, it is important that everyone in america is well-informed and votes to the best of their knowledge. Everyone has there own opinions and that is ok, but do not vote based on facts that will not benefit out country as a whole.

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee being that he is the only one left. The same guy who Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, recently called a " textbook definition of a racist comment" is in the running to be the next president of the United States ... Interesting.

Paul Ryan made this remark after Donald Trump accused the judge for his recent case in federal court of being impartial because of his Mexican heritage. Trump claims that due to his campaign on illegal immigration, having a judge with a Mexican heritage has led to a unfair trial.

Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel does not believe that "one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial," he told CNN.

This is just another comment and stunt carried out by Donald Trumps racist agenda.I am not saying Hillary Clinton is innocent either. How both of these candidates made it this far scares me for americans.

Clinton is not a law abiding citizen nor is she honest. We have all known about the email scandal she has been involve with yet she is still a highly possible person to become our next president. We are still asking ourselves questions like "Why did she delete 30,000 emails from her internet service? Is she trying to hide even more from us? Did she send classified emails through a non-government sponsored server? Is it illegal to conduct a private email account for work purposed as the Secretary of State?" So many questions that are huge factors when deciding on who will be the next president of our country.

Hillary Clinton will most likely be the Democrat nominee. It will be officially announced in July. Bernie Sanders is not ready to accept the fact that it is most likely over for him so he'll just have to wait it out.

These are just one of the cons and they both have many many pros as well. Make sure to educate yourself before making a decision such as contributing to one of the most powerful people in the world!

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.
