My Presidential Bid

Because our options are Trump and Clinton.

My Presidential Bid

Oh election season, how interesting you have been. Here we sit with two candidates that are absolutely horrendous. The idea of either Trump or Clinton running the country is completely terrifying. How did we get to the place? Is this real life? I don't understand, guys. I am at a loss. What am I supposed to do on election day? I can't vote for either of these humans. I know that many of you are in the same boat. BUT WAIT. I have the solution. I'm writing in my name for president, and you should do the same thing. I mean write in my name...not your name. Mine. I realize that I'm not old enough to technically run for president. However, both candidates have violated at least a trillion laws themselves. So, what the hell? Why not? I am officially announcing my candidacy. You heard it here first. Vote Gretchen Vetsch on election day.

These are the reasons why I would be better than Trump or Clinton at running the United States of America:

1. I love not only puppies but also dogs.

You can't help but trust someone that has such a profound appreciation for canines.

2. I have not filed for bankruptcy.

I'm lookin' at you, Trump.

3. I tell jokes that you could find in a joke book, and I am an avid user of puns.

Global leaders could never be mad at someone that says, "You have goat to be kidding me." There is no way that Putin wouldn't want to be homies with me when I tell him my "why did the chicken cross the road" joke.

4. I never delete e-mails.

I probably have 1,543 unread e-mails right now. Some, HILLARY, cannot say the same.

5. I've become really good at Pokemon Go.

If that's not an impressive skill, then I honestly don't know what is.

6. I have watched all the seasons of Scandal and House of Cards on Netflix.

I know all of your tricks Washington D.C., you can't fool me.

7. My mom thinks that I'm cool.

Well, what if she didn't? Would you trust me then? Probably not.

8. Sometimes some people laugh at some of my jokes.

You need someone with an incredible sense of humor, aka me, to be the leader of the free world.

9. I'm not in it for the fame or the power.

I'll be real with you guys, I'm in it for the money. Guys, I have student loan debt. I dream of the day when I can buy name brand cheese.

10. I don't even know how to build a wall that big.

11. In first grade, I was line leader for a week.

I know what it means to hold a lot of responsibility.

So, listen. Election day is approaching quickly. Get the word out fast. I'm running for president. Write Gretchen Vetsch in for president 2K16, pals. We are all pals here.

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.

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.
