An Open Letter To Donald Trump Before The Election
Oliver Willis

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can honestly commend you for making it this far in the election. You fought all odds and beat everyone’s expectations by being here at this point. Despite this, I can say that I despise you.

You think that by intimidating and scaring people, you’ll get your way. You think that by perpetuating distasteful stereotypes people will like you. Well, you are wrong.

Your racist and derogatory rhetoric turn people away from your campaign. Whatever great ideas you may think that you have are completely obliterated when you open your mouth and let that steady flow of bigoted garbage flow.

You are not a trustworthy man, be it with the multiple times you’ve gone bankrupt or the numerous times you’ve engaged in affairs outside of your current relationships. If you can’t be trusted in your business or personal life, how can a nation of hundreds of millions of people trust you with top-secret information, nuclear codes, and time-sensitive data?

You are also offensive to almost everyone you meet. You can’t meet a single person without making a snarky comment about their character or behavior. Is it possible for the US to have strong diplomatic relations with any other country if you treat them this same way?

You’ve alienated large groups of people, be it women, Hispanics, African-Americans or other groups with your thoughtless actions and belief that you can marginalize whole groups of people and still win the election.

Your privilege disgusts us all. You think that starting with only one million dollars makes your life hard. What about families that barely survive on $20,000-$30,000 a year? You don’t understand the plight of a common man. Those of us who are willing enough to become entrepreneurs have to take loans from the banks of tens of thousands of dollars, struggling and wondering how we will ever pay them back. We don’t have the luxury of being given millions of dollars and then complaining about it.

You also lie more than any other candidate. The fact-checkers after every debate show that half your statements are wrong. When you claim to your opponent that you never said certain things, evidence will pull up, showing that you did indeed do and say those things.

Honestly, Mr. Trump, I can’t wait for election day. I can’t wait for you to finally get what you deserve – a loss. Maybe then you’ll learn that racism, sexism, homophobia, and overall nastiness won’t get you everything in life.

Sincerely,

Every individual in the United States

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.
