Accepting The "L"
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2015/dec/22/donald-trump-responds-lie-year-says-hes-been-prove/

In today's time we want to to blame each other for each others downfalls. We want to use violence, bullying, and other tactics to deflect from what's really going on. Let me explain what taking the "L" means: you just take the loss and move on. I've learned over the past couple of years that to be a mature adult , we must be able to admit that we are wrong sometimes. But we tend to point the finger at others , when there are 4 others pointing right back at us. For instance Donald Trump is our next president, but instead of moving on and seeing what he can do for our country, we still are dealing with stuff that happened last year during the election like the alleged Russian hacking, or the Hilary Clinton email scandal. My favorite saying is , If you can't beat them join them in the game. Now don't get me wrong I still believe he isn't fit to run the country because he needs to control his twitter fingers , because everything doesn't merit a response. But I do believe in giving someone a chance to prove themselves either wrong or right people can change even though people think it's impossible in today's times. It may just come down to we were wrong about Trump leading the country, and he may be one of the greatest leaders behind Obama to accomplish what he sat out to do. America I know this may be a hard pill to swallow, but we have to deal with this decision we made for the next four years.

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.
