I'm Sad To See My Home State Disputing Over Becoming Three Separate Californias

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz and news on the idea of California splitting up into three different states: California, Northern California and Southern California. Although many people may think that this is because of the rivalry between Northern California and Southern California, this radical plan has estimated data and statistics dealing with education, taxes and more.

There were many sponsors of this radical plan, and they believe that it can provide better infrastructure, education and lower taxes. However, aside from that, I feel the rivalry and pressure between the different regions of California are still extremely prevalent.

Having grown up my whole life in Los Angeles and Orange County, the idea of California splitting up has been in the back of my mind as somewhat ridiculous, but it is daunting that this idea is a radical plan that is being supported by many. Personally, I am not extremely affected by this as of now in that I am a college student who attends university in a different state.

However, it is a bit sad to see my home be split up into three different states. Although this won't pose any major territorial changes, it will feel different because just like a home, it should never be divided into regions. A home is a place where everyone should feel and be connected, but with the three different states of California, if it gets fully supported and passed, will be separated.

There is a lot of politics as to why many are supporting this decision. The reasons range from education to taxes and how three different regions can result in better infrastructure. This radical plan of splitting stems from political and social issues that can create better lives for the citizens of California and those living in the specific regions.

Especially in California, depending on where you live, the education quality varies from low-quality education to really high-quality education. Because of this, there have been many trials and attempts to reform the education system in California, and the splitting of California into three different states also tries to attempt to solve this education disparity problem that is extremely prevalent.

Overall, with the many political and social implications to the radical plan of splitting California into three different states, it is quite sad to see my home going through such a split to help solve multiple problems on the societal and governmental level.

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.
