As an 18 year old, this election isn't my idea "first time voting" scenario. I will start off by warning my readers; i do not know the most about politics, but i still have my opinions. At this point i really am starting to believe that Canada is our only option.

Let me start off by giving you my opinion on Donald Trump. I do not agree with his beliefs, his mouth, or his treatment toward women, but c'mon guys... at least his name doesn't start with H and end in illiary. Also, people claim to hate the things he says but have they heard the music of today's time? DO NOT get me wrong, i do not think Mr. Trump should speak that way, especially considering he's running for office, but the things he says aren't necessarily unheard of in todays society.

Next we have Hillary Clinton. I do not have an ounce of anything in my body that would push me to vote for her. I am all for women empowerment, but when it comes to a women who acts the way she acts, i do not want any part of it. Who in their right mind deletes emails? I do not know what those emails consisted of, but if it is bad enough to delete them, there is no telling what secrets were imbedded in that computer screen.

Some people believe that if you're voting third part you are "throwing away your vote". I personally have two opinions on that matter.

1. I do not think we should completely knock out third party considering our other choices of candidates. If you're like me and don't want either Trump or Clinton, you've looked into all your other choices.

2. Do we really have that much say in who gets elected? Honestly. Yes our votes count and it is our right as American citizens to vote. BUT at the end of the day, there are certain high and mighty people who will get whoever they want in the office because they have that authority and $$$$$.

After it is all said and done, if we get a president who isn't doing his/her duty and things go south? I have a strange feeling that Canada will be getting a lot of new residents. They're so peaceful and polite..but they don't have the potential leaders that we do, so who could blame em, eh?

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.
