The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

Even though the Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday night with the theme United Together, the Democratic party is anything but united. It would be a step in the right direction if the unifying rhetoric could be backed with action, which has not been the case the in the last eight years despite what any speaker at the DNC said. While watching the Democratic National Convention I couldn't help but think about different witty "Office" moments that too accurately described how I felt.

1. The Democratic National Convention began with the resignation of their national committee chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, after 19,000 of the committee’s e-mails were published by WikiLeaks.

2. You are probably wondering how Debbie Wasserman Shultz and Hillary Clinton have gotten away with their email scandals but remember that they are above the law.

3. I can only imagine how upset the "Feel The Bern Revolution" must be after Bernie Sanders sells out and tells his base to vote for Hillary.


4. When Bernie Sanders delegates and supporters leave the Convention floor early.

5. When Tim Kaine officially accepts the nomination for Vice President with the most boring speech.

6. And then you hear him attack Donald J. Trump and the Republican Platform.


7. It wasn't long before Bill Clinton attempted to steal the show with the story of how he met Hillary.


8. When just about every DNC speech mentions the angry rhetoric at the RNC.

9. When the Governor of Minnesota, Mark Dayton, says that Trump is a bad man because he made small businesses pay their bills when they couldn't afford it.

10. When you see groups like Turning Point USA protesting with signs that say Big Government Sucks!

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.
