Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not start from the top, she pushed herself beyond her own limits to get there.

Taking theaters by storm on December 25th, 2018 "The Basis of Sex" depicting the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the film we all needed this year. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of the most accomplished women in the world as she was born into time with minimal rights for women, yet a passion to do more and speak for those without a platform or a voice. In this world today, we all have rights yet we aren't finished yet in accomplishing what we would like to do on this earth.

This film did not only speak to women, yet it spoke to those who were passionate about matters that haven't been communicated on a wide spectrum or brought into the courts. RBG gives us hope in the realization that we are doing something although these laws haven't been made officially, the people of the world are rising and making a difference.

RBG inspires the change that we all seek and think is not occurring due to some of the negative issues occurring in the world. People are marching for their rights and speaking to others about missions and values that they share in order to make a bigger difference in the future. At times we forget that although these laws aren't being finalized in the courts, we are still doing something and creating change for the future generations of our world.

In the film, we are introduced to RBG's husband Martin and her daughter Jane, and son James who are all immersed in the same time frame of fighting for rights that should be granted to all. It was interesting to see how each of the children reacted to RBG and what she was doing besides being a mom with the cases and voice that she had. As she was evolving, Jane took a specific interest in her work and they became very close as Jane had a lot of opinions to voice as well. This established quite the connection between the two making Jane an even stronger role in the film as her mom inspired the change inside of her.

The evolution of their relationship shows that the more that we inspire others to create change due to our own fight for freedom, we can actually make these things happen. It's easy to lose hope today because of all of the difficulties occurring in the world as well as things not getting done, but we need to hold on to the now and what is happening because we are doing something and creating change even if it's in a classroom or an article.

We all have a voice and Ruth Bader Ginsburg did too, she didn't start from the top she pushed herself beyond her own limits to get there. Everyone on this earth has the same chance to do so, it doesn't matter where you come from, but where you are today and where you'll be tomorrow. Don't ever doubt yourself or create limits because you can create the change that you want to see in the world, so start whenever just like RBG did.

"We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, 'We, the people.'"

- Ruth Bader Ginsburg

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.
