Donald Trump: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
The Union

On November 8th, 2016 Donald Trump was elected as the 45th president of the United States of America, creating mixed emotions from the country with some very satisfied and with others absolutely outraged over the result.

The Good

While there may not be many good attributes associated with Donald Trump, he was elected president because people saw some good in him. He is a very successful businessman, so during his presidency, he will make policies to make sure that our country can generate more jobs and to make our economy stronger which is an aspect the United States needs to improve upon to become a stronger country. He also has a alternate plan to help the middle class that would replace Obamacare which turned out to be a failure in the majority of our country's eyes.


The Bad

Donald Trump has said a lot of controversial points during his campaign that have outraged people, including building a wall to divide United States and Mexico. Another includes banning all Muslims from America in response to the shootings that have happened throughout the last year; in addition, he has also made multiple racist, extremist and Islamophobic comments that have outraged people. With that kind of blatant immaturity, many people are calling him a disaster before he has even started his four year term in office.


The Ugly

Donald Trump has also had many allegations come towards him including rape allegations and many controversial comments including calling previous Ms. Americas ugly or unfitting. Also, since Donald Trump won the presidency, thousands of people have been protesting throughout some of the biggest cities while police forcefully use tear gas and arrest thousands of people.

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.
