2017 -- Love Above Hate

1 Peter 4:8: "Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins."

2017 -- Love Above Hate
Time Dot Com

I've tried to stay out of the political world for as long as I possibly could, even though politics are my secret guilty pleasure. With that being said, I'm basically done at this point. There really is nothing more that I can say, but I'm going to try to explain my point of view regarding events that have happened the past couple of days in a peaceful, loving way.

Let me preface all of this with the fact that I did NOT vote for Donald Trump. I would never be that horrible of a person. I planned on putting a shameless plug for Jill Stein here, but I didn't come up with anything catchy. I probably could have found a good meme online, but Jill Stein is the woman.

Living in 2017, it's almost a sin not to be a feminist, which I don't know how I feel about that exactly, but that's a topic for another article. That's not to say that I'm not a feminist because I'm a pretty flaming feminist in regards to women's rights. But...

Before we all condemn Trump to the horrible he is sure to ensue, let's give him the chance to cause it before we protest. When he takes away rights for women, I will be one of the first people to stand up against him, but I don't want to hope for his disasters. I hope and pray that he will turn out to be a much better president than anything of us expect, which I know is very, very low chance.

Before we all rip each other's throats out, even in a calm protesting way, let's consider love above all.

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.
