TRANGENDER AWARENESS MONTH

The month of November is Transgender Awareness Month. Its purpose is to draw attention, and build support for the transgender community. On the twentieth day of the month people take time to remember and mourn the individuals whose lives were so wrongfully taken from them that year, this day is known as the Transgender Day of Remembrance. On this day many people find solace by performing a candlelight vigil, which may be conducted individually or in groups. Many groups will stand silently in a circle holding candles while one individual reads aloud the names and ages of the people who were killed that year. To conclude the 2016 Transgender Awareness Month, original music by Natalie Turner, with Shel Silverstein's poem "Where the Sidewalk Ends" has been selected to pay tribute to the individuals who fell victim to the hate, and prejudice around the world this year.

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.

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.
