Finishing The Year Strong

Hillary losing was the highlight of the year

Finishing The Year Strong

2016 is coming to an end and boy oh boy has it been a wild year. It did not get that crazy till the end of the year. There has been many exciting and not so exciting moments that have occurred throughout, so to end on a good note let us reflect on some of the positives.

Hillary Lost

I am not a Trump supporter, but watching Hillary Clinton lose in such a way was glorious. On November 8th, observing Hillary continue to lose state after state put the biggest smile on my face and the warmest joy in my heart. To be fair, I will critique Trump when I need to and give credit where credit is due.

CUBS WIN!!!

The Chicago Cubs won the World Series! The Cubs rallied back against the Cleveland Indians to win game seven of the 2016 World Series, ending a 107 year drought. I am a Yankee fan, but this was exciting for me. Baseball is the greatest sport out there and to see it played in such a way was incredible. A historical event for sure.

Hillary Lost

Yes I am going to mention it again, because it was just that amazing. Losing in 2008 in the primaries and then again this year just puts a smile on your face.

RIO 2016

The Olympics this year was entertaining despite being in a poorly ran country and once again the good ole U.S. of A. showcased their dominance by winning the most medals. Winning is one of America's favorite hobbies.

Jill Stein embarrassed herself...again

The democrats are not able to accept the fact that Hillary was an awful candidate. She lost due to her own personal character alongside with how the left tends to treat others that disagree with them (the group that preaches tolerance is actually incredibly intolerant). So Jill stein, leader of the anti-science Green Party, lead a recount effort in hopes that there was voter fraud and that Hillary actually won. Well, turns out Trump actually gained slightly more votes than what was previously counted. Fantastic.

The Democrats Lost

Not only did Hillary lose but the democrats lost. Republicans now control the house and senate. More governors are now republican and the democrats lost control of many state legislatures. It is a great time to be american. We are set to get back on the right track and undo all of Obama's terrible legacy.

Hillary Lost

December 19th is the day in which the electors cast their votes for who they believe should be the next president. Turns out Hillary had more faithless electors than any presidential nominee in the last 100 years. She made history!

Overall I would have to say that 2016 turned out to be a pretty decent year. There were many ups and downs along the way but there was a strong finish. With all that has happened this year, I am excited about what 2017 will hold. God Bless America!

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.
