My America

We are the last hope.

My America
Walops

We are a country of free choice

where you hear everyone's voice.

The red, white, and blue

all are colors of the true.

We fight anyone who harms our ways

those who have made the darkest of days.

So why now is there so much fear

no more laughter, but only tears.

Is it temporary, is it a phase?

has America lost its ways?

It is something we have not envisioned

the second American division.

Pick your side, blue or red

Either could care less if you were dead.

What will we do, now that it is complete

Voting for the man in charge of our fleets.

Was this really, just and election

Or was it a nationwide detention.

We have to solve this issue from the core

in order to make America what it was before.

A place of honor, courage, and pride

somewhere that didn't make us pick a side.

Look to your left and then to your right

The people around you are worth the fight.

Stop the violence stop the beatings

no more savages, no more heathens.

Make America great and stronger together

the phrases that will haunt all of us forever.

The election decision was not the mistake

but the reactions of violence, leaving lives at stake.

Be kind, be honest, be free

make this country for you and me.

Do not step on the flag, or let it burn in the fire

Trust me, hate is not your desire.

Let us come together and spread the word

to make a revolution that must be heard.

We will keep this as the land of the free

just continue to follow me

And keep this as the home of the brave

we refuse to be a puppet or a slave.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
