A thank you letter to Donald Trump.

Dear Mr President,

We have finally surpassed your first 100 days and all I have to say is wow. But, before we get into that, I just wanted to say thank you. Honestly, I mean it, thank you so much. Because of you and your candidacy, I got involved in my very first election. Before you, Mr Trump, I hated politics and I stayed as far away as I could from them. But because of you, I learned so much from just your candidacy alone. Before your candidacy I didn't understand feminism and the movement behind it. I, like many others, believed it was this aggressive man-hating group of women who wanted to rise above men but because of you I now identify as a feminist. Because of you, I now know that feminism isn't a men oppressing way of life, but an equality driven movement to fight for what is right, and frankly what should've been done a while ago.

Before your candidacy, I didn't realize how important planned parenthood was. I thought it was just this building where women were able to terminate pregnancies and that was it. But, because of you and your blatant disregard and lack of morals, I now stand with planned parenthood.So thank you Mr Trump because unlike you, I'm aware that planned parenthood is a place where most women receive general health care and I don't believe in taking someone's health care away, but I guess we have two different understandings of the term “pro-life.” Thank you Mr. Trump for always being yourself. You don't ever hide who you truly are and that is a very beautiful thing. You see without that, the world would never be able to see your tasteless mocking of a disabled reporter, or hear you sexually harass a female reporter and your own daughter. But because of you, I and so many other women are finally grabbing back.

We are now a ripe 4 months into your presidency and I really do have to applaud you. I mean within your first 100 days, you've sent almost an entire country into a complete uproar. Whether it's your complete lack of foreign policy or your rather nerve-wracking investigation with Russia, the American people aren't having any of it. I also want to take the time to thank you for always sticking to your word, really I do. Remember a few years ago when you tweeted about your hatred for executive orders but then signed 32 of them in your first 100 days? Thanks for sticking to your word!

Thank you Mr. Trump for making me realize that my voice does matter and that I need to use it. Thank you for making me realize we as a country still have so much to fix and that experience for a job doesn't really matter. Thank you for making me realize all that I take for granted and all that I have to fight for. And most of all Mr. President, thank you for igniting a fire in me that nobody, including you, can ever put out.

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.
