Top 3 Moments From The Democratic National Convention 2016

This past week I attended the Democratic National Convention 2016. The four days were filled with wonderful moments but a few stood out above the rest. If you missed the Convention, here are a few shining moments from the four day extravaganza.

1. Herstory

Obviously, the number 1 stand out moment of the entire convention was Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech, making her the first female presidential nominee for a major party. The energy of the entire arena was electric, filled with excitement and joy for the path our country is headed down, a path where no matter who you are, an African American or a woman, you can truly have the opportunity to become president.

2. President Obama Passes over the Baton

President Obama gave an unforgettable speech on the third day of the convention. Like always, he spoke words of hope and inspiration. The president got the entire arena excited to back Hillary in this next election, reminding citizens in the arena and at home why Clinton is the most qualified individual to become president. He left the crowd with encouragements to support Hillary the way we have all supported him. President Obama is a truly amazing individual and I am so blessed to have been able see him inspire so many in person.

3. Michelle Obama Slays as Always

If you didn't know, Michelle Obama is the most perfect human being on the planet. She kept her status alive on the fist night of the conventing with a speech that gave chills and caused a few tears. Michelle spotlighted the fact that she wakes up everyday in a house built by slaves, revealing how far this country has come and the huge impact the Obama family has made in history. Or first lady is truly one of a kind and will always be looked up to, even after the Obama presidency.

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.
