Donald Trump, Please Get Off Twitter

"There is so much happening in this country that deserves your outrage, but a comedy show is certainly not one of them."

Donald Trump, Please Get Off Twitter
The Daily Dot

Dear Donald Trump,

Please, for the love of God, chill out with the tweeting. While it's fun to be reckless on social media and tweet whatever comes to mind, as the President-elect, you need to stop. It's already scary enough that a man with no political experience is going to run our country, and this just makes it even scarier. You lose your mind whenever SNL does a parody of you, instead of realizing that it's a joke and that, as Americans, we have the right to make these kinds of jokes. Even as one of the most powerful men in the world, you cannot take that right away from us.

But instead of being outraged over a TV show, how about being outraged over something that actually matters? Get angry at what is happening at Standing Rock. Get angry that so many of our Veterans are homeless or unemployed. Get angry that Flint Michigan still does not have clean drinking water. There is so much happening in this country that deserves your outrage, but a comedy show is certainly not one of them. So please, get off Twitter, and get angry at the things that actually matter. Maybe then, I can start to take you seriously.

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.
