Trump's Bad Week, Hillary's Poll Numbers

Election Update
Ydop

Donald Trump has had a few bad weeks one after another. He's said many things that I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable repeating. So here we are just mere weeks before the election and one nominee is surging while the other falls (not so gracefully I might add). Does this mean the election is over? Well, the short answer would be no. Votes will still be cast on November 8th and many of those votes will still be for Trump. The long answer is...well sort of. With the election getting closer and closer and Trump alienating more and more of the nation's key demographics it seems like this may be a hole he won't be able to climb out of. His insults about women and bragging about sexual assault alone are enough to potentially upset 51% of our population. Then there's the blatant hypocrisy where Trump doesn't want you to talk about his alleged sexual assault cases, but he loves bringing up the cases against Bill Clinton, a man not evening running for president.

I really don't understand blaming the wife of the man for the man's wrongdoing. If you want to dislike a presidential nominee, then I firmly believe that it should be based on their own merit. So if you want to dislike Hillary, by all means, do, she isn't perfect, but at least blame her for the stuff SHE actually did. So I went off on a bit of a tangent but that's how crazy this election actually is. Sure we all say Trump is down in the polls but honestly with how crazy everything has actually been, nothing can be certain until all the votes are cast. So moral of the story go out and vote...also, Trump had a bad week.

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.
