Kawhi Leonard, Thank You For Your Laugh

His laugh, not the laugh it gave me. Although that was nice, too.

Kawhi Leonard, Thank You For Your Laugh

We take things too seriously. Life tells us we have to care about academics, politics, economics etc... We have to live or die by our political affiliations or our favorite sports teams. We cry and scream like children of the middle of the street when Trump is elected and get offended when people laugh, like caring that much about something isn't absolutely hilarious.

"Me Too" has hit full stride with the indictments of Brett Kavanaugh and Urban Meyer, igniting fires in the most passionately bipartisan areas of life; sports and politics. We are taking sides more than ever and, despite what people might say, we love it. As a conservative, I love when Trump says to "grab her by the pussy" because I know it will piss off a lot of people, and now I have a fight on my hands, I have a purpose.

As a liberal, I also love when Trump says to "grab her by the pussy" because, although I am truly, deeply disturbed, I now get to show people how moral and right I am by telling people how amoral and wrong Kavanaugh is.

But as a human being, I choose to die laughing at Kawhii Leonard laughing like an insecure robot at a press conference. That's it. That's all there is to it. I could tell you I love it because it really helps us relate to larger than life personalities, that even they have flaws. If Kawhii Leonard feels awkward speaking in front of people and screws up his own laugh, then what do I have to worry about? Thanks, Kawhii!

I could say that's the reason why, but it's not. Truth is, when I'm with my friends and we're having a stupid, fun time and someone pulls up a video of Basketball superstar Kawhii Leonard laughing like he hasn't heard his own voice in weeks, I cry laughing because the stupidity of it is the beauty of it. It's absurd, and that's all that matters. It takes us away, even if only for a moment, from things we think matter. Kawhii's laugh is our common enemy.

But instead of an enemy, it's literally a blip of an unexplainably absurd thing we can all laugh it. That's it. It's thoroughly unexplainable. There's no debate about whether the dress is blue or black, no debate about it not being one's kind of humor, no not understanding it. He laughs, then I laugh, then we all laugh. Thanks, Kawhi.

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.
