Please Exclude Trump From This Narrative

Before I begin, I ask of you one thing: please do not let the fact that I’m not American make you think I’m not entitled to an opinion on this matter. I am. Anyhow, for the past months we’ve been witnesses to a somewhat tragicomical rise in Donald Trump’s political influence and position. A rise which has now resulted in him being the Republican candidate for President of the United States. And this is terrifying. I’m young, but I’ve seen my fair share of bad politicians (I come from a country where this man was the most voted Senate member in history) and somehow Donald Trump manages to top all of them.

Let’s be honest and admit that we never thought he’d get this far, and that is the sole reason no one did anything before he became the nominee. The idea of Donald Trump being so close to becoming President is so surreal that logical, good people could not fathom it actually happening (I have reason to believe the same thing happened with Brexit and look what we have now). Only his deluded supporters, who may somehow be even worse than he is, gave him the power to get to where he was: he was climbing up a flat hill, being helped up while nothing works against him or makes him struggle.

The fact that this man now has the palpable chance of becoming President is beyond me. He is racist, misogynistic, completely unprepared, impulsive, hot-headed, radical, a liar, and so many other negative qualities I can’t even finish listing. It took his repulsive comments about women in 2005 to make people finally start to consider that he should drop out of the race once and for all. And I’m glad it did, and I hope this costs him his reputation, election, name, everything. This bigoted fool should stick to stamping his surname throughout city skylines and being an A-class idiot and leave the country and its politics alone.

It worries me deeply what might happen to the world if he is actually elected. I do not want to imagine this becoming a reality because if I do I’ll find myself stuck in a mental blackhole with absolutely no way out. So please, please, if you can do something to stop this man from leading America and the world into the apocalypse (I do believe this will happen if he succeeds) please do. You may not like Hillary, but I believe we have reached the point where it isn’t pro or anti-Hillary anymore, it is pro or anti future, progress, equality, and peace. And if I can’t convince you to do so, and neither can all the headlines which continually show everybody what a genuinely horrible person this man is, let Robert de Niro do the job:

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.
