TIME's Latest Cover is Just Messing with Us All

As if Election 2016 wasn't already bad enough...

TIME's Latest Cover is Just Messing with Us All
TIME Magazine

So if you haven't seen the latest cover photo of TIME Magazine, you need to.

And here it is:

Go ahead. Take a moment. Take it all in.

And yes, this is seriously the TIME cover for the week of November 14th.

I have so many questions about this cover. Which end is near?

Here are the options:

1. The Election

Let's be real. The 2016 Election has been something like never before. Full of controversy, arguments, Twitter beefs, and memes. All the memes.

But honestly, this drama doesn't end with the results on election night. They will continue until whoever is elected passes the baton to the next President. So with that logic, we have until January 20th, 2021 until all of this is officially over. I am just as upset about it as you are, but go ahead and brace yourself. In that case, I'm going to need the lies to stop, because the end is NOT near.

2. The World

Clearly, America is the laughing stock of the world right now. We have an election that has produced more comedic gold than actual policy discussion. Not to mention I am not sure I really want any future leaders to have access to the nuclear codes. So it is quite possible the end of the world will not end with a bang, but with all out nuclear meltdown. And I'm not sure I want that end to be near. But maybe that is just me.

3. 2016

I think at this point we can all agree 2016 has been just a terrible year. At the beginning of the year I thought I was just on the Struggle Bus alone. As we are approaching the end of the year, I realize that, nope, we are all on the bus and it's going downhill. FAST. So is that is what is coming to an end? The crazy as hell bus ride we've all been on for the past year? Because part of me is so okay with that, but also a little concerned with how we are gonna get to that point.

4. America's Sanity

Can we all agree we are just done with this election? Regardless of which side you stand on, whether you are voting or not, can we all just agree on that much? This election has just taken so much out of the American public. The constant name calling, drama, and just the overall annoyance of election season.


Regardless of what the ACTUAL message was for TIME's cover, I'm not liking any of the options.

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.
