The Belief Of An Undecided Millenial

Don't judge me.

I am a millennial. I work full-time, will be attending college with a complete class load, own my own car I bought myself, and pay rent. You will tell me I am one of few, but as I look around there many others just like me. I’m a millennial. I refuse to decide on a political party because it is unnecessary and primarily the reason our country is failing. I’m a millennial. I read books and Facebook posts but I’m well aware of which one is more knowledgeable if you were concerned. I support the LGBTQ community because politics should have no correlation with who you love. I believe that as long as there is a drug epidemic in this country addiction should be seen as an illness instead of a crime. I believe in volunteering and working for everything you receive. I'm a millennial.

I believe that there is no way that Donald Trump will make America great again but neither will Hillary and if you ask me who I’m going to vote I will sternly tell you neither. I will not choose between the less of two evils when I can vividly view both of their corruption. Hilary clearly should have been charged for her crimes in Benghazi and can’t we realize that shady business is what landed America in the boat we are in now? Trump’s tried business ethics would just make it worse. I’m a millennial. I believe in unity and independence but not seclusion of those we are told are inferior. I’m disgusted by politics and how the union has changed from its originality to a corrupt system in which the people no longer have control. Before I am anything I am a human and I will give everyone else I look at the same dignity to be solely a human also. I’m a millennial.

My opinions are ever changing because I have been taught to keep an open mind. I won't fall into the media trap that has seamlessly tore this country apart and I advise you to not either. This world has so much possibility for me to be optimistic about and considering I am a millennial and we are statistically the most optimistic generation I guess that fits. Clearly not every millennial has the same views as me but isn't that the point? That we can all be from the same era but think out of our own boxes. So please before you title me “another millennial”, remember that a few people's actions do not define us as a whole. I am a millennial, but before I am anything, I am human. Please treat me as so. God bless.

MILLENNIAL: Mid 1970's to early 2000's.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
