A Reality Check From A Moderate's Perspective
Christina Boalt

After many hours of contemplation and script writing, I eventually came to the conclusion that I needed to just step back and speak from the heart without a script regarding the recent events in our country. There are a lot of awful things happening in America and I think it is imperative that we all come together to give ourselves a little reality check.

I am by no means an expert, but I do believe that I am an informed citizen who looks at things from both sides. Seeing the country divide itself more and more is scary, and the hatred will not solve any issues. My technical skills with video-making are by no means perfect and my way with words may not be the best, but I hope that my message hits you and makes you reflect upon all that has happened and makes you try to better the future with those whom you may not agree.

I hope everyone can refrain for attacking my views and come to use my perspective as a way to inform your own. I was quite nervous making it, but I am ultimately proud of the outcome.

Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
