I'm Hillary Clinton And I'm Feliz Cumpleaños To Be Tu Presidente
Unothergateway

Hola! I'm Hillary Rodham Clinton, and you probably know me from this year's race for presidency of the United States. If you watched the Democratic National Convention last week, you probably saw my vice-presidential pick Tim Kaine's amazing speech shamelessly pandering connecting with our Hispanic brethren. Kaine and I might be whiter than the lunch rush at Chipotle, but his excellente speech showed how connected we are with Hispanics through Kaine's impeccable use of Google Translate.

To quote, Kaine explained that he "learned that the best compliment you could give someone was to say they were 'listo'– ready. Not 'inteligente'– smart. Not 'amable'– friendly. Not 'rico' – rich." No, no other one semester of Spanish adjectives can describe how listo I am to be your White House amiga! Some people (like Donald Trump, who is no bueno!) might say that injecting one word of Spanish into an otherwise completely English sentence is a disgusting, offensive, and completely transparent attempt to win over Spanish-speakers who we clearly think are so stupid that they'll fall for it, but we say it's our way of showing respecto for your culture! I can personally attest that when Kaine and I go to Taco Bell, both of us even roll our r's when ordering los Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos.

The truth is, I'm not even capable of pandering, because I'm just like your sweet old abuela! I even have an entire page on my website describing the eight ways I'm exactly like your abuela! Seriously, check my list out- it has hilarious GIFs, which my focus group has recently informed me is the hippest and grooviest thing with the kids! Just like your abuela, I throw an arbitrary and easily digestible Spanish cognate into an otherwise entirely English sentence! Donald Trump knows nothing of el respecto, am I right guys? Yes, I truly am America's abuela- and just like your sweet, charming abuela, I preach gender equality while simultaneously claiming in court that I am "not sophisticated enough" to understand an email classification system to avoid the otherwise inevitable jail time that comes along with breaching national security. Did I mention that I'm running for the highest office in the government of the United States? I sure hope those nuclear launch codes and international commerce laws aren't as complicated as el Facebook! Our silly abuela technophobia is so charming!

Remember kids, your abuela knows best, and what's best is to ignore the issues and focus on who just feels like the right choice for president. Does Donald Trump even carry hot sauce in his bag? I think no- that's español for "no" for all the gringos out there!

This election day, look into your heart, and you'll know who to vote for- and remember, "Antonio Banderas, nachos grandes, telenovela." Adios!

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.
