The floor at the convention on Monday had moments of organized chants of, "roll call vote, roll call vote," along with yelling and disarray. All part of an attempt to hold a vote from all of the delegates on a motion that is necessary before the convention can officially begin.

The idea behind the opposition is to create a process that time-consuming for the convention and would thus lead to delays and hold ups for scheduled speakers, "the Trump family," and performers, "the Trump family".

Shortly after the disruption, a voice vote was conducted of ayes and nays as opposed to the roll call that would officially record the vote.

This is all attributed to an effort to prevent and create problems in the nomination of Donald J. Trump.

Although a lot of noise was created during the first few hours of the convention, the attempt failed and Trump staffers and supporters managed to swindle their way through state delegates to convince them to change their minds on the push for a roll call vote.

Out of what we've seen so far with delegates in support of Trump yelling, "USA, USA, USA," and delegates in opposition clearly dissatisfied with their options and proceeding with chanting with their fists held high, this might be the beginning of a very lengthy convention process and The Donald's road to a nomination.

Even with a fraction of the party still opposing the ideas and legitimacy of the Trump campaign, there very well may be just enough support to create further hiccups in the coming days but giving the overwhelming support Trump has gained within the Republican Party, it seems inevitable that the nomination will proceed without delay.

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.
