In all honesty, I don't care who you're voting for

Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed

It's not that I don't think everyone has a right to opinion. I just don't give two sh*ts what your opinion is.

I always hate when politics invade my Newsfeed. This year seems worse than ever. Every time I get on any social media all I seem to see is an article, post, or picture of something related to the election. At this point, most people have made up their mind quite decisively as to who they are voting for. You can name call and pitch as many fits and rants as you want, but here is the thing it isn't going to change anything.

I am one of those people who knows who I will be voting for come November. I came to that decision on my own and am not sharing. Here is the thing, my choice and vote are my opinion. I don't feel the need to throw my thoughts in your face. Instead I stick with the motto: "Good for you; not for me". You decision is your decision. Politics and many other hot-button topics are all about ideology. Ideology by definition is things that are close to your heart that are unlikely to change. So stop changing to change mine.

Sharing articles can be an important part of social media, and I don't think their is anything wrong with sharing your voice. Don't get mad at me though if I unfollow or unfriend you because you got on my last nerve by preaching your beliefs. Beliefs and passion are importnat in this world but is Facebook really the best place for that.

Facebook to me isn't about changing this life-changing or earth-shattering writing pieces. It's more about goofy listicles and cute puppy videos. So with that let's keep Facebook fun!

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.
