With the election coming up, I figured we could all benefit from seeing a direct compare/contrast of the two candidates are their stances on issues in our country. I stand on a neutral side and am merely stating the facts.

1. Immigration

Donald Trump: Trump believes that a wall should be built to help stop illegal immigration. He believes the process should be legal and it would lower problems in our country.

Hillary Clinton: Clinton believes that immigration reform should be put in places. She states that it is unbelievable to think we could successfully keep illegal immigrants from coming in.

2. Gun Control

Donald Trump: Trump strongly supports the second amendment and believes that Americans should have the right to feel protected while bearing arms.

Hillary Clinton: Clinton believes that gun rights should be limited and advanced background checks should be ran. She believes that some people are simply not safe and should not have a right to bear arms.

3. Abortion

Donald Trump: Trump does not fully support abortions. He thinks that the life of a child growing inside of a womb is just as important as one outside of the womb. However, he does support it in cases of rape or if the health of the mother at risk.

Hillary Clinton: Clinton supports abortion and believes that the decision is based primarily on the mother's wants. She believes one should have a right to decide what is best for the unborn child, no matter the circumstance.

4. Social Security

Trump and Clinton: Both candidates(surprisingly) agree that the social security law should remain intact as well as the age should remain the same.

5. LGBT+ Rights

Donald Trump: Trump believes that transgenders should be allowed to use the restroom of their choice. However, he does not support same sex marriage.

Hillary Clinton: Clinton firmly supports transgender equality as well as same sex marriage. She believes people should be allowed to be happy, no matter the circumstance.

6. Minimum Wage

Donald Trump: Trump first stated that he would not support a raise in minimum wage. Months later, he stated that he believes minimum wage should be raised to $10 an hour.

Hillary Clinton: Clinton strongly supports the idea of minimum wage being increased. She stated that she would raise it to $12 an hour, or even $15, if funds were available.

7. Obamacare

Donald Trump: Trump believes Obamacare should be replaced and a better plan should be put in place.

Hillary Clinton: Clinton supports Obamacare and is on board with plans to continue it.

After contrasting the two candidates and their plans and opinions, I know who I am going to be casting my vote for. Do you? I hope this helps and please remember to GO VOTE!

May God Bless America!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
