Post-Debate Insights

We need to remember that both candidates do not represent our values or others.

We have less than three weeks left until our nation votes for the next President. I will admit I am very scared. I am scared of what has happened the past year, from rallies to protests in the street. Blood has been shed this year. We as a nation are no longer doing okay. We have a bitter racial war, we have hypocrisy in every place we go. The government just keeps spending money. But worse of all is the fact that as a nation we are now either a Trump supporter who acts like Trump or a Clinton support who is Clinton.

Let's really be honest, we both hate them, are scared of them and just want the nightmare to be over. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What I find right now is that we don't care. You support Trump, you must hate women, against quality and other countless arguments from both sides. Same thing with Clinton, you hate guns, want government in everything etc. We need to be honest with each other. Both candidates do not speak 100 percent for every person, their beliefs or anything. For me, neither candidate embodies my morals, ideals or beliefs besides myself.

Trump supports capitalism and lower taxes. That I want, reducing taxes puts more money in the pockets of people to companies and hopefully natural capitalism taxes over. But that is all up to a company to spread the wealth.

Clinton is a veteran, someone who is born in the muck and you know what you get. She can play anything as nothing and knows how to be cunning. It is like a can of natural light beer. It is very cheap and you paid for the quality. I would not mind someone who knows what's going on.

For me, I want a candidate that sees men and women as equals. I want a person who believes the Constitution is a document that is interpreted word for word, not where the wind blows. I want a person who will honor and keep the separation of church and state. I want a person who supports the troops, the men and women of emergency services, the everyday hard working Americans as well. I want a person who loves the country and has respect for others. I want a person who will fight for us and not give up.

Is my wish so hard? It is not but the beauty of a party is to have someone who supports what the collective wants. That does not mean the candidate actions reflect on the people, but the people choose that person with the belief they could represent the group the best.

As much as we hate both sides remember, they do not represent your family values, yours, your neighbors or anyone's really but was put there with a chance to fight for the group's values or platform. As we get closer to the ballot box remember that we must have the extreme before we have the mean of anything.

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.
