Coming Together On All Fronts

From the projected view of what a Hillary America would be, in my collective thoughts that occurred election day of 2016, if that was to happen in the future took me into a lot of considerable thought and value of what our nation would look as to come over the preceding years if Hillary was in office. Though it hasn't affected me so much in the sense of being a woman, but in some cases with racial tension, being white I have been affected in ways. Thinking with a fair mind, due to the depth of hurt and unaddressed problems in the past of American history and life in today's outcome of people being effected by so much of nothing being completely directed in addressing the fault of whose responsible and genuine rehabilitation of forgiveness, asking for forgiveness, and trying to listen and change for the positive {which shows you value the people who have been hurt and those who feel affected} the issue is where I saw today in the direction of the future, people matter. Just in general, all people matter. It is important like a relationship to listen and pay attention to where the problems are.. And directly take action to fix, help, and heal/pray asking God to do it along with you as you proceed in the relationship. With the change in society today, just from when I graduated high school almost four years ago, life has drastically changed in ways that have been crazy and some ways that are good. The good is that people are being able to feel like they can outwardly express and put forth their thoughts to the extent of where the world used to be. But the bad is, to put it in part perspective (in places where some people feel it) a pressure. It didn't feel like that at first, but over time in the past few years in people's responses towards and to others who aren't "norm minorities", taking the country forward without including them is just as bad as when someone tries to lead a relationship without having any regard for the other (even if the other might have done them wrong and took all the spot light). If this were to be a successful nation we would not just strive to be forwardly walking in pursuit of being more like Christ in the nation and going around to the people that need to be helped, heard, and understood with solid good change. We would be listening to keep in effect the rest of the nation’s population who are a part of the country and need to know they still matter and don't have to be ashamed of who they are or what they look like either. That we could work in unity and not in a progression of working without realizing we should honor all types of people. And knowing you can’t honor when tearing down others. I'm not a man, but I don’t want men to feel like they have to apologize to me for being a man in a situation where things can be subjected just because of that fact. I don't think the solution of moving forward in today's world can be found without God first and for most, and I don't think it will be easy for unity to occur without applying the principles of showing that you see the people's problems who have been hurt, that they matter and not leave out the people who aren't in those groups respecting them as individuals too. It's time to move forward and to truly move on out of the name calling, personal attacks and hate rants/ accusations. We can't move forward without God and we can’t move forward without willing to work things out in both sides of the equation.

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.
