Trump Power?
The Duran

Politics are in full swing this summer with the election this fall, and one candidate seems to be very polarizing amongst our nation. Donald Trump, reality TV star, and businessman is a polarizing figure who is constantly in the news for his bold and brash views on immigration and gay marriage. His supporters see him as the guy who will, "make America great again". His opposers see him as nothing short of the anti-Christ. A rookie when it comes to politics, Trump is determined to defy the odds and becomes our nation's next great leader.

One main reason that, "The Donald" is so polarizing is his brash, often condescending attitude towards foreign nations. Trump has been quoted saying, "I'm going to build a wall... And I'm gonna make Mexico pay for it!" If that isn't bold, I don't know what is. He glues people to their TVs, either to see his speeches and laugh, or see his speeches and shake their heads at what could drive someone to be so insane. He is the top headline on CNN, Fox News and just about every major news channel out there on a daily basis.

He truly believes every word that he says, and for some, that is a scary proposition. He has had numerous people call him out on it, including moderator Megyn Kelly. Trump's infamous spat with her at the GOP debate this year is what made many voters turn heads at his overzealous attitude. He has made many enemies with news media and personnel, and many people wonder how destroying that, "bridge" will turn out, if elected President.

Another reason Trump is so polarizing is his charm and bravado. He has a lot of followers just due to his charismatic nature. Love him or hate him, he has a good personality for TV and he seems to win over a lot of people who watched his TV show, The Apprentice. There are some that wonder whether Trump's lack of political prowess will be the downfall of this nation if elected. That's a very fair point, one that Trump seems to dodge and twist every time it comes up. Clinton has had numerous years in the political arena, and that might just be enough for people to vote for her, over the inexperienced Trump.

He doesn't pull any punches when it comes to talking about his opponents either, whether it was the Republican debates or his verbal spars with Hilary Clinton, a nominee from the Democratic Party. Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is for sure: Trump won't be getting invited to any quinceaneras anytime soon.

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.
