What our country needs

How the power of people will over come any barriers in our way, anyone wanting to take us down, how we can be one with God and believe in Him

I’m only a freshman in college but whenever another attack happens on our soil it gets me riled up. maybe because i want to go into law and protect people, maybe because i believe USA is the best country in the world, maybe because i believe there is many people wanting to take us down ( even some dirty ppl in our own gov)

what those people can’t take from us, is our love for our country and our strength

We are the most powerful together and with God

Our country has always been a target and it recently seems like it is turning into reality

Some people live in a bubble and do not pay attention to the news or what is going on around the world. I can’t stand that. Every single human being needs to know the news and their surroundings. We need to be prepared and just watching people closely while out or in big cities. I am not saying live in fear because that is what those trying to take us down want. I am saying, get the attitude that they are coming for our home, for the country millions have died for. What right do they have the audacity to do that? We need to come together. there is so many problems in USA right now. people want answers and i don't have them. I don’t know why these things are happening i really don’t. We are living in a scary movie. I just want to somehow get this message out to people that we have to at some point put our past behind us and become strong again. We are only strong when we unite. There is still good people out there who don’t care what color you are, who don’t care what religion you are. You aren’t bad if you are black or if you are a muslim. i understand not all are bad. i know. This message is for the ones who aren’t afraid, who want to fix our country, and who will not let us be victims to these horrible devil like people. Stop living in hate and resentment, that doesn’t heal your wounds but this is something bigger. I know some of you too feel as if our government does things behind our back and half of information is covered up. I do too but we all have differences and we all will be voting differently. I’m not telling you ow to vote but i am telling you if you are a teenager, its time to stop living behind a screen and its time to do something for yourself, community, and world. you may feel like life is perfect and you’ll always be okay, but somewhere, someone is getting killed by isis. We have to become aware of this and try anything to stop it or just have a strong voice and stand up for those who don't know how to use their own. The time is coming and our generation is growing up. We better be prepared.

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.
