Yes, He Actually Said That

Here is just some evidence as to why Trump would be a bigger environmental disaster than hurricane Sandy or Matthew.

Yes, He Actually Said That

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of politics. On one hand, I'm ready for the election to be over, but on the other hand, I'm not ready for either candidate to take office. I’m not a super political person, so it’s a bit strange for me to write about this. However, when I weigh the big issue that is important to me and that everyone needs to at least consider, it’s pretty clear who shouldn’t be in office.

On that note, here is just some evidence as to why Trump would be a bigger environmental disaster than hurricane Sandy or Matthew.

Ah, so…what’s the word...incorrect. I don’t know what parallel universe you are living in, Mr. Trump, but we’ve got recordhigh temperatures on record. Let me just fix that typo for you: Record high temps. Nice word-play, though!

My friend here must have missed the class on weather versus climate in fifth grade science. Big difference. Weather is temporary, and climate is permanent – hence the urgency of that so-called little nuisance climate change.

Sigh. OK, we got the point. It is cold, therefore climate change can't be real, and 97 percent of the global scientific community is wrong.

Hmm…I’m really trying to follow the logic behind these arguments, but I’m just not getting it. OK, moving along.


Me too! I am tired of hearing this nonsense as well. Clean, beautiful and healthy air sounds great, but he is totally missing the point. Can someone please explain to Mr. Trump the very basics of the environmental issues our planet faces today? We will work our way up to climate change.

Ah, yes. Well this one has been popular lately since Hillary called him out on it. His reply: “I did not. I do not say that.” Sure... Can I get a witness? He later claimed the tweet was a joke. Alright, then. My bad! Joke’s on me!

Well, his tweets say it all, don’t they? I mean, do I really need to elaborate? I’m not saying Clinton is exactly a climate warrior (at least she acknowledges that climate change is a real problem), just that it’s obvious who’s going to be less of a harm to the planet.That’s what this election is all about, right? The lesser of two evils.

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.
