Yeah, sure, he's the President-Elect or whatever, but how could TIME Magazine attempt to draw in readers with someone who didn't even win the popular vote? Besides make Americans Brexit themselves, Donald Trump has done nothing truly presidential, and there are a number of people who are more qualified to be recognized as TIME's person of the year for their notable accomplishments.

1. President Barack Obama


If for no other reason than transitioning with grace and throughout the process hand-holding the very man who wants to demolish his legacy.

2. Lin-Manuel Miranda

This one goes without explanation, I mean have you heard the Hamilton Mixtape?!

3. That Uber Driver That Lets You Use the Aux Cord

Not all heroes wear capes.

4. Shirley Caesar


Who is Shirley Caesar you may ask? Only the woman who blessed us with the best Thanksgiving rap of all time. It will live on in our hearts until next turkey day.

5. Lil Sebastian


The legend himself, may he rest in peace. The title has pretty much lost all meaning at this point, so why not extend it to mini-horses?

6. Beyonce

How has this not happened yet?

7. Any Restaurant Employee Ever That Has Had to Deal with a Secret Menu Hack

Your double-shot, extra whip, frappuccino with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup and the tears of your barista is holding up the line.

8. Amy Sherman-Palladino

The Gilmore Girls revival was iconic and should be remembered as such.

Fun Fact: the "M" in TIME over Trump's head on the cover almost look like devil horns.

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.
