In the country, we live in minorities pray for glory, freedom, and peace

We live in a country wherein a minority neighborhood, there is a liquor store or drug store on every corner but in Beverly Hills or Casablanca there is not.

We live in a country that was built by slaves, and laws were made by criminals.

We live in a country where a dog's life is worth more than a man in the court of law.

We live in a country where the Constitution states that "All men are equal", however in 1776 minorities were property and this same Constitution is still cherished so dearly.

We live in a country where when minorities protest, it's considered rioting according, to the media.

We live in a country where the law says African Americans are free but we are the leading race to be imprisoned because of a 1994 Crime Bill.

We live in a country where two different ethnicities go to prison for the same crime but receive a vast difference in sentencing and the other ethnicity is released early because he had goals to be an Olympic swimmer.

We live in a country where a minority can stand with his hands in the air and still get shot multiple times by the people who are supposed to protect us.

John Legend says "When they Glory comes it will be ours when the war is won we will be sure", minorities have a long way to go we have made progress but victory isn't won, yet!

If everyone who knows the problem comes together we will win and we will be sure to win!

Glory, Freedom, Peace is all we as one want, until then WE will stand up with our hands in the air and fight for everything we want and deserve!!

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.
