Donald Trump "Cancels" His Trip To London

Donald Trump has canceled his London trip, blaming former president Barack Obama for moving the U.S. embassy, which according to Trump he sold for "peanuts".

Trump claims the old embassy was "the best located and finest embassy", criticizing Obama and his administration. It was in fact George W. Bush who moved the embassy for security reasons after terror attacks like the ones in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998.

Although Trump claims he canceled his trip because of the embassy, according to London's Mayor Sadiq Khan, Trump "finally got the message" that he was not welcome in the British capital. According to CNN, "Large protests are expected to accompany any presidential visit to the British capital, where Trump is deeply unpopular."

Obviously, Trump is not very liked by the people of Britain which is actually awful for the United States. This is the first time in a long time that the president of the United States has not visited Britain's embassy. American and British people have reinstated over and over that their relationship is the most important partnership in the world. By Trump having a bad relationship with Britain and the rest of Europe, we could potentially lose our greatest ally, which is bad for both the United States and Britain.

This event may be in the interest of Britain considering they do not have to see President Trump, but for the United States, this makes our country as a whole look really bad. According to Khan, "any official visit at all from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed." Unless Donald Trump cleans up his act and stops tweeting things at 3:00 a.m that are going to get him in even hotter water, he should be spending more time building stronger connections with people who are in support with the United States.

The people of Britain are so over his actions that they don't want him to come to their country.

If that does not say something, then what does?

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.
