Dear America,

In just a matter of a few short days, either history will be made, or the apocalypse will be upon us. Our long, national nightmare will finally be over. With the polls tighter than ever before during this campaign, the future of our country is dependent on our decision and action to get out and make a difference.

All the scandals, late-night talk show bits, Saturday Night Live parodies, outrage over what "he" said, and so-on will be toned down at least. Still, after listening to what both candidates and the media have been feeding us, it is clear that this election truly matters. Our vote can be a decision as important as what we want to do for a living, who we will marry, where we will go to college, what house we should buy, and etc. It really is a big deal.

But what happens when this whole election process is finally over? What comes next? Yes, I know, the inauguration in January, but it seems so scary if things don't turn out the way we hoped. We must embrace ourselves for a whole new era of American politics in the late 2010s, something totally different from the last 8 years.

I assume everyone is anxious and ready to get this election over with. I know I am. On November 8th, we pray and embrace. On November 9th, we will wake up and realize that we are about to live in a whole new America. The "New. S. A." as I should call it. This election is one of the most important in our lifetime, and I hope that we are all ready for the day it is all over.

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.
