Lets TRULY make America great again.

Dear Mr. President

Donald Trump, your presence in this race has done two major things: Bring hope to those that are tired of a corrupt government, and fuel the hate and racism that already existed (but not tolerated) in this country. Your followers believe in you so strongly, they believe you can be the one to make a change in our damaged government system. (They took a real leap of faith in my opinion.) They are so tired of the same misbehavior in politics that they completely ignore (And some condone and support) the horror that comes along with him

I can just imagine the trump supporters already fuming while reading this... and this is just what I'm talking about. Bigotry, to start, is something in Donald Trump that is becoming socially acceptable among his active followers. Not only opposing any opinion that doesn't match up with theirs and becoming enraged by it, but also outwardly saying that certain groups of people's opinions don't matter. This sense of superiority that lives in Donald trump arises in his defenders. I think it's the sense of power, or the sense of belonging they feel knowing under Donald Trumps America, they are seen as better.

Racism in America has been present way before Donald Trump came along, but before him, it was unacceptable. Racists would get shut down immediately if ever they publicly harassed someone. Now it's everywhere, and the people that are getting shut down are the ones trying to stop the racism. We are being called cry babies, being told to toughen up, all of the sudden the definition of being tough is tearing down a human being solely because of where they derive from. On Facebook, I shared an article about white children screaming "build that wall" in a school cafeteria while Latino students watched and cried. An actual response from a guy I went to school with, was "good." He proceeded to tell me that he finds it amusing and he will teach his kids not to be "pussies" and toughen up.

Overall, the biggest thing Donald Trump brings out in his followers is hate. Blaming immigration and refugees for our problems causes Donald's American's to stir on the thought, creating hate inside of them for a direct group (or race) of people. That may not be what he intended, considering Trump supporters will say he is 'in no way a racist'. But this is what he has done by behaving the way he does. It's disgusting to see people wanting to strip the human rights away from an individual based on their race, gender, sex, etc. His supporters take what he says, what he does, how he acts and they run with it.

My final note is this, Mr. President, if you truly meant no harm, if you support all humans equally and support their rights: stop this madness. Address those of your supporters that are becoming hateful, aggressive and extreme. Do not condone their behavior. Shut it down for the sake of our countries peace. I wish nothing but the absolute best for these next four years with you, and I hope you truly can make America great again.

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.
