The Man Who Predicted The Election
Variety

I will admit it. I am not into politics in regard to the issues and controversies. But this past election grabbed my attention as it has become the biggest upset throughout the nation. It's November 8, 2016, Election Day, where people have an opportunity to run to the polls and make their vote count. The citizens sit and wait for the results as the race comes to a close. Then Donald Trump gets elected to take over the chair in the oval office. The next day, anti-Trump protesters throughout the nation marched and expressed their disappointment by roaming the streets of cities such as Los Angeles and New York. Protesters stood in front of the Trump Towers and chanted "Not my president" and other phrases. People driving around listening and turning up the volume of the song, "F--- Donald Trump" by hip hop artist YG. Celebrities express their opinions through social media on the outcome and persuade people to come together as a nation.

As citizens were shocked, there are questions on how he was able to get the victory over Hillary Clinton. My father showed me a video about a man who made his predictions that Trump was going to be elected. The man was filmmaker and writer, Michael Moore. Moore made statements on how the American people will most likely vote Trump instead of Hillary. What caught my attention was his confidence in his prediction.

"On November 8 (Election Day), the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain and put a big f---ing 'X' in the box of the man who has threatened to overturn the very system that will ruin their lives, Donald J. Trump," says Moore.

He felt that people who have lost their jobs and weren't able to make a living with the low income of money would rather have Trump as elected president. Watching this video made me believe it even more, but the outcome was shocking on Election Day.

The video concludes with Moore making the statement, "Trump's election is going to be the biggest f--- you ever recorded in human history."

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.
