Planet Earth has had serious issues of pollution since the 1950's. As time has moved, the world has become increasingly dirty and unfit for natural life to thrive. Unforgivably, these dire situations which need to be fixed, are not on Trump's to-do list.

One of the highest concentrated environments, when it comes to high levels of pollution, is evidently cities. When driving on highways like I90 (located in the third biggest city in the world) or Highway 50 (in Sacramento) traffic goers are surrounded by miles of trash.



Garbage pollution is one of the largest causing factors of bacterial infections and diseases, like malaria and typhoid. Even worse, when humans burn garbage in order to remove it, harmful gases are leaked into the air. These leaked gases negatively effect our breathing and intake of many possible side effects.

Local residents living in urban environments shouldn't have to wake up, walk, or drive in such treacherous conditions, but no changes are being prioritized.

Annually, water pollution is one of the worst forms of deterioration. Each day the rate of water pollution increases to intolerable rates; as over two million tons of trash get dumped into our fresh and salt waters every single day.

With the world's water supply coming to a short level, there is no reason why humans should be damaging their main resources. Humans need water in order to survive, but it is proved that out of the 70% of our water on the planet, only 2.5% is available for digestion. Not to mention, the one million sea animals that are killed every year by the high density of pollution.

It's important for humans to take care of the planet. For the amount of resources, life, and knowledge this world has given us is more than any human mind is capable of achieving. Although, If the world continues to move at paces like this, who knows when our last day will be.

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.
