We Will Get Through This Together

The Post-Election Playlist Every American Needs Right Now

1. "Keep Holding On" Avril Lavigne

After such a divisive election, America cannot give up. We need to cooperate and unite as one. Now is not the time to abandon America. It's our time to stay here and fight for it.

2. "We Are the World" Michael Jackson

We are the people of this world and we can change it. If our divided nation can come together and spread the love, than we can make the world a better place. We can't rely on the President to reduce racism and bigotry, we need to make a stand for ourselves.

3. "Fight Song" Rachael Platten

These empowering and raw lyrics are what society needs to push through the barriers and keep fighting for what we believe in. Women and minorities are not defeated. We must stay encouraged no matter who robs us of our rights.

4. "Beautiful" Christina Aguilera

Trump's win expresses the extent of misogyny that evidently continues across America. Women should never doubt their worth, value, power, or opportunity to pursue their dreams. American's must remember that words cannot break us, rather they help empower us to make a change.

5. "Survivor" Destiny's Child

The next four years will bring forth the most intelligent and fiercest generation of women this world will ever see. Sure, we are shocked. But we are determined. We will make sure our rights are protected and no longer will we be silenced. While supremacists cannot stop us. We will move past this.

6. "Where is the Love?" – Black Eyed Peas

With gun violence, racism, war and poverty ravaging the world today, this song is as relevant as ever before. We need to bind the wounds of division and come together as one united country.

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.
