Why We Are Optimistic About The Trump Administration

The Democrats are too busy crying.

Why We Are Optimistic About The Trump Administration
Slate

This past few weeks have been exhilarating, and it would seem that majority of the nation is optimistic about the prospects of the Trump administration. Sure, there might be protestors, Hollywood celebrities, left-wing feminists, Democrats, and other liberals who are still crying about the results of the election, but they are in the minority. The silent majority Americans who are middle-class working folks are too busy working to cause a ruckus, but they will voice their opinions in the voting booths. These liberals apparently are still in denial that Trump is President, and it is such a shame they have shown that they will not work with Trump by filibustering cabinet nominees and fueling hate against the current President. The Democrats have become a bunch of obstructionists who will put the party above the country and would rather see this country go up in flames than actually work with President Trump.

But who cares about what the Democrats think?

In the upcoming mid-terms, the Republicans will gain a supermajority, and the Democrats will be in full retreat. The stock market seems optimistic, with the top three stock market indexes posting record closing highs. Deregulation will create opportunities for small businesses to flourish again and for corporations to expand. The oil and gas sector are expected to receive tax breaks, and the U.S. is on course to be self-sufficient in terms of energy.

Industrials, construction, financials, defense, and tech sectors are all showing optimism to the Trump administration. It is also expected that the income tax will be lowered in the sense that the curve will be flattened, which means middle-income households have more money to spend. The building of the wall along with other infrastructure developments will actually stimulate the economy and with the currently strong dollar to back it all up, everything looks good for the next two quarters.

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.
