A Message for Peace

Just give it a chance.

Last week, as we were all remembering 9/11, something got to me.

It was a day of remembering, but also a day of anger. How could such evil occur on one of the greatest countries in the world? Why do these people commit such heinous acts?

Unfortunately, the answer that I hear most often is "That's life." Well, to me, that frustrates me. How can we live our lives when we know that somewhere, somehow, someone is planning the next....well I don't want to scare any of you. Which brings me to my next point.

We keep gabbing about how much we want world peace. It is a task that seems impossible, because there are people who, well, don't. But it won't be impossible if we all work towards a common goal and set aside our differences to help make this world a better place. This all seems very cliche but it is true.

If we all take a stand against the events in this crazy world we are living in, such as all these mass shootings, Ryan Lochte embarrassing this country, Donald Trump, police brutality, gender inequality, those Kardashians, Kanye, celebrity icons constantly dying, racism, and everything else, then that is the progression we have all been looking for.

Because after all, Harambe definitely didn't die for all of this to happen.

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.
