An Open Letter To The 2016 Presidential Election

You'll soon be gone, and I'll be grateful.

An Open Letter To The 2016 Presidential Election

You disgust me and I'll be glad when you're gone. You're the ex-boyfriend that won't leave me alone. You're the nagging paperwork that needs to be done before midnight. You're the 2016 Presidential Election.

I'm not voting. I'll be glad when this election is over because either way, no one is going to be happy. I'm not voting because I would rather not choose between a lesser of two evils. Because I'm not voting I've heard, "Well, you better not complain after the election is over." Trust me, I won't. Even if I did, whose business is it to tell be that I can't complain about the person making the decisions regarding our country's well being.

I'm sick of your campaign adds. They're annoying and they are demoralizing to be completely honest. We teach children to respect others and their points of views, but yet we undermine someone if they don't believe the same things we do in the political aspect.

I'm tired of your supporters. They try to push their views on me, when I, in fact, I am forming my own opinions, but will respectfully listen to theirs. I will listen as they either support or reject Planned Parenthood or Common Core. And those topics are just the beginning.

Lastly, I'm fed up with your candidates. They're immature and frankly, don't carry themselves well. They not only don't have respect for each other, but also they don't have respect for themselves. Trump says that prisoners of war are not war heroes. What?! I'm sorry, but they are the war heroes. They not only gave themselves to the enemy, but they also gave their minds. Can Donald Trump imagine the kind of post- traumatic stress that those men and women face each day because they were prisoners of war? The answer is no. Hilary is just as bad, using a private email and then deleting the emails that were received and sent. If you are in a power of position such as, Secretary of State, you shouldn't even be able to have a private email. You are looked upon to be a representative for our country and people look up to you, don't act like an idiot.

2016 Presidential Election, good riddance, see ya never.

Sincerely,

An 18-year-old who could vote, but isn't.

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.
