1. Kamala Harris

She is the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, coming all the way to America to pursue the American dream. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a physician and her father, Donald Harris, an Economics professor. Kamala made history in 2011 becoming the first African-American, first woman and first Asian-American woman to become the Attorney General of California.

She recently teamed up with Christopher Gavigan to form The Honest Company, a wellness brand that has cleaning supplies, baby products and beauty and skin care products. Alba has made a name for herself in not only acting, but the business world as well, having her company make just shy of one billion dollars.

This famous actress, most notably recognized for playing Elle Woods in the 2001 film, Legally Blonde, launched a clothing business in 2015.

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.

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.
