Here's Donald Trump's Stance On Immigration (At Least For Now, Maybe?)
THR

Even though according to Pew Research the amount of illegal immigrants entering the country is less than the amount that are leaving, Donald Trump has made his immigration platform a huge selling point for his supporters. Oh he is going to build a wall, a BIG wall! A wall thats shiny, sexy, tall, formidable, and paid for by the Mexicans. Even though the Mexican government has repeatedly stated this would never happen, have no fear because Donald Trump is the second coming of Christ and he will get it done for you!

During the primaries, Trump was insistent that he would create a deportation force that would deport every single illegal immigrant from this country. Yes, he's going to make America so great by spending between $400 billion and $600 billion getting those damn illegals out of here! At a time when racial tension stirs between communities and police, at a time when radical terrorism and terrorist attacks are on the rise, we need to focus on the illegal immigrants because they are the real threat! (Well, technically they have a lower crime rate than Americans, but seriously trust Donald they are a huge threat to you). So everyone go out and vote to Make America Great Again with Donald Trump by building a wall and deporting those illegals!

Well, hold on a second, his stance has since changed on immigration. In order to Make America Great Again, Donald Trump is going to do what past presidents have done. He is going to deport criminals. Not all illegal immigrants. He told Hannity, “We want to follow the laws, you know, we have very strong laws in this country. And you know Bush, and even Obama, sends people back." You know, he's following in their footsteps, you know? Remember how he ripped on Jeb Bush and Rubio in the primaries for their "weak" stance on immigration? Well in an interview with Sean Hannity he presented a plan that is extremely similar to Bush and Rubio's proposed plans. He doesn't want to send back the immigrants who have lived here peacefully, and he doesn't want to break up families. He wants a "fair" and "firm" immigration plan. Seems reasonable to me! Especially since illegal immigrants are actually essential to our economy.

Hold on, I just realized there has been yet another change. You see, that was his ideal plan for a few hours, but Donald Trump seems to have changed his policy again. In an interview with Anderson Cooper he explains that what he previously said to Sean Hannity is not in fact what he is planning to do. Instead, everyone must be deported if they want to become citizens. Even the "good ones." The first thing he is going to do on his first day in office is deport the criminals (which, by the way, has been the policy on illegal immigration for decades throughout dozens of presidencies). And how about deporting the rest of the immigrants with a deportation force? Well that aspect is yet to be determined! Or should I say redetermined?

Don't you just love surprises and confusion when it comes to presidential candidates? It's titillating, makes the whole election so much more fun and unpredictable!

Vote for Donald Trump he will literally change nothing about immigration.

P.S. You know what seems like a better change to me? A path towards legalization that allows those who benefit our economy to pay their fair taxes and receive their fair rights.

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.
