Facebook For President?

When did Republicans become the devil and Democrats become crybabies?

Facebook For President?
University of Miami School of Business

I think we can all agree that things in the past presidential election have gotten out of hand. I've been alive for five elections and have been aware for four, and I have never seen the amount of crazy that came out in the past year and a half.

Just today my mom had to delete my aunt because of attacks on a completely loving post from my aunt's more political friends. What??

I know of people who have not only lost Facebook friends, but real friends as well. This is not ok. When did elections become so emotional? When did the words Democrat and Republican divide this country literally in two?

I think it's insane that two, sane, adult humans cannot have differing political opinions and still remain sane, adult human friends. What ever happened to agreeing to disagree and respecting people's right to their opinion?

When did Republicans become the devil and Democrats become crybabies? I know plenty of people on both sides of the aisle who are awesome, amazing people whom I'm so proud to call my friends. And no, I will not vilify them and call them names on the internet just because they voted for someone I don't like--aka Hilary and Trump--because 1) I don't have time for petty feuds on the internet, and 2) I'm not in middle school.

Here's the deal, we have someone who is going to be our President for the next four years, and not very much is going to change that. So instead of tearing each other apart, let's come together to heal and move forward.

Oh and stay off Facebook.

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.
