I'm Getting Really Tired of Trump

No matter what your party affiliation is, let's choose somebody decent next time.

I really thought I wouldn't be writing about Trump so soon but when I saw the video of him making a joke about Senator Warren's "nickname" in front of the Navajo leaders being honored, I just couldn't believe it. Once again, he had been so incredibly disrespectful and gotten away with it. How foolish of some of us, like me, to have thought he wouldn't embarrass us for at least a couple of hours.

Based solely on his person and not ideologies (because that's a whole other topic), I didn't think Trump would win. When he was elected I assumed that somehow, he would turn into a much more decent man. I hoped for fact-checked speeches, intellectual vocabulary, no more Twitter, and if anything really, for him to just think very, very thoroughly before speaking.

He had already crossed the line for me when he mocked Serge Kovaleski, the reporter with a joint disability, because it hit home. Now of course, he has done and said other disgusting things but that's the very problem: being the President of the United States, shouldn't someone be, for a lack of better word, regulating him?

When searching for who his speech writers are, if any, all I could find was that they are anonymous White House aides and sometimes a man by the name of Stephen Miller. He was the man behind the infamous UN speech and who white supremacist Richard Spencer claimed to have mentored.

The President is not obligated to always use the speeches, something we all know to be true judging Trump's. Once he starts rambling, it's all downhill from that.

Like I said before, I was never a fan of Trump, but I genuinely thought it would get better. Seeing that it has only gotten worse, I have no more hope in him and it is a feeling I never thought I would have living in THE United States. It mind blows me that we are so used to him, there is nothing he can't do at this point that will shock us. And that is not okay.

I have tried to understand how some of his supporters still fiercely defend his actions, but it is just incomprehensible at this point. Whether you liked Obama or not, you can't deny that he was an intelligent and eloquent man. Whether you like Trump or not, you can't say the same about him.

Hopefully, once his term is over, whether we have a Republican or Democrat in office, as a nation that wants to make a better reputation for itself, we will collectively raise the bar to where it was before and choose someone who genuinely wants to make this country 'great again'. Because for better or worse, we were fine before Trump came along.

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.
