Ya es algo esperado que Donald Trump salga con algún comentario faltandole el respeto a alguien o a grupos de gente enteros. El viernes salió a luz un video viejo donde Trump está hablando con Billy Bush en su camarero acerca de una mujer con la que iba trabajar esa día. Hizo comentarios muy irrespetuosos y degradantes, pero yo creo que sus comentarios indican un problema más grande en los EE.UU.

Trump a publicado un vídeo ofreciendo disculpas por las cosas que dijo, diciendo que él se ha arrepentido y ahora es una persona diferente. Justifica sus acciones diciendo que era una conversación privada entre dos hombres. Mucha gente que va a votar por el también justificaron las cosas que dijo, con la idea que muchos hombres hablan así de las mujeres en privado. Leí comentarios como, “Está hablando como cualquier hombre” o comparando lo que hizo con lo que hizo Hillary con los emails y diciendo que Hillary es peor.

Y ese es justo el problema.

El problema es que la falta de respeto a la mujer y la misoginia es tan común y tan normalizada que cuando oímos cosas como las que dijo Trump las justificamos como la plática regular de los hombres. Pero es lo normal solo porque así lo queremos. Tenemos el poder de cambiar estas mentalidades que son peligrosas porque perpetúan la falta de respeto a las mujeres.

Muchos seguidores de Trump también justificaban sus comentarios diciendo que lo que hizo Hillary Clinton es peor. Esto es problemático porque están ignorando el problema actual y no están haciendo responsable a Trump por las cosas que dijo.

Este incidente aparte de recordarnos que Trump no seria buen presidente, también pone atención en el hecho que hay muchos hombres que piensan que el faltarle el respeto a las mujeres es algo normal y común. Pero en nosotros está cambiar estas ideas, para que nuestros hijos no crezcan pensando igual.

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.
