Deez Nuts For President?

The current presidential election has been a recent topic for debate, and with no surprise there has been controversy over each candidate. Hillary Clinton? She's a woman, won't have it. Donald Trump? Naaah, he won't do either. What about Deez Nuts? Sure, why not!

Turns out, Deez Nuts is actually a 15-year-old boy named Brady Olsen.

Despite being 15, Nuts (Olsen) has some pretty interesting views. After viewing his website, which definitely looks like the work of a 15-year-old, I was impressed with how diverse his views were. For someone who isn't even old enough to register to vote, he sure is keeping up with politics and current issues.

Foreign Policy
"I support the work that John Kerry and the State Department did with the Iran nuclear deal, considering it took nearly two years to reach this point. Everyone wants a better deal, but that's the whole point of negotiating. Look at your wants, then their wants, and meet in the middle. Now is the time being respected instead of feared by other nations. I also feel that we need to stop being a world watchdog and limit our positions in international conflicts."
Abortion and Same-Sex Marriage
"I feel that as equal human beings that we should be allowed to choose how to live our lives without being discriminated by one another. At the same time however, I also understand that people believe that Christian religion outweighs government policy. But America is no longer mainly a Christian nation. It is Christian, Jewish, Islam, and many others."

While he might have some interesting points, why is he gaining so much support?There are serious candidates we should be thinking about, but instead we are looking into the platform of a 15-year-old boy going by the name of Deez Nuts?

Are we really going to let a high-school kid be the President of The United States?

What's scary is that some people are actually in support of this. According to CBS, Nuts has earned 7 percent support in Minnesota, 8 percent in Iowa, and 9 percent in North Carolina.

Every election hundreds of people you never hear about file a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, but the popularity of Deez Nuts has spread on the media.

Just because the media turns someone into a popular presidential candidate, does not mean that they are a candidate who should be considered.

Maybe in a few years, Olsen would make a great presidential candidate, but as for now, we should be focusing on finding the person most qualified to be the next President.

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.
