So here's the deal... We need to get our stuff together. I don't care who you support, why you support them or your basis to engender hate, but it needs to stop. Why must everything be a divide? Furthermore, why do we feel the need to disrespect the place that we call home? Let me tell you one thing, these little riots and marches will do nothing. They will accomplish nothing. I am a woman, yes, but do I feel the need to go and make a mockery of the United States and protest all the rights that women don't have, but men supposedly do? No. We have all the same rights as men. We made it... there is no need to be wearing vulgar costumes and wasting your breath. Even more infuriating-- the burning of our flag. How disrespectful could you be to burn a flag that men and women are out fighting for? I think it's plain and simple-- if you don't like it, leave. I get you have freedom of speech, and blah blah blah, but this is a step further than that. When you disrespect that flag, you disrespect the families whose baby didn't come home from overseas. The veteran in the wheelchair without legs-- you are invalidating his sacrifice for you to even have the right to do that. I'm sorry, America, but it has gone too far. We are better than this, and we need to get a grip. God is not going to let us fail, He has our back. Trust in him, and I guarantee we will succeed in anything we do, big or small.

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.
