Two Old White Men Tell Us What's Best for the Country

This Tuesday, October 4th, at 9 p.m. vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Tim Kaine will ramble on for 90 minutes at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Besides feeling very frustrated, there are a few things we can expect. CNN's Elaine Quijano will be the moderator for this debate, and she sets many firsts milestones for american history debate moderators.The debate will be in nine parts of ten minutes, or at least that's the goal. Here are four foreseeable exchanges to expect Tuesday night.

Tim Kaine will show us how progressive he is. Kaine is pretty much a republican when it comes to trade deals, but that's not going to fly here. He is going to make a similar pivot that Clinton did over the summer. Kaine was pro-free trade, pro-right to work, and pro-fracking until just recently. One thing we can definitely expect is that Kaine will make us think that he has always been consistent in these positions.

Mike Pence, along with Trump, might be indifferent to Climate Change, but earlier this week in an interview, Pence said he believes the rising temperatures are caused by humans. This, while being an abhorrently low standard, is in opposition to what Donald Trump has been saying all year. Mike Pence is supposed to clean up on the detail-policy talk that Trump lacks strength in.

Tim Kain will probably spout some Spanish here and there; Kaine is fluent in Spanish and has been using it in his speeches and rallies as often as Thor whips out his hammer. You can expect that after Pence tries to defend Trump's immigration policies, Kaine will say recite some Spanish sonnet and really lock in that voter demographic.

Mike Pence will remind us he is a christian, conservative, and a republican. Along with making up for Trump's lack of policy knowledge, Pence is also responsible for appealing to the more religious side of America. A large portion of America is looking for someone who loves the bible just as much as they do.

Tune into the CNN debate this Tuesday at 9 Pm ET

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.
