What Am I?


Disclaimer: I do not represent any group I list below. I may affiliate, but I am not in any leadership position or important position.

Let's start basic. I am from Texas, but was raised in Ohio and Oklahoma. Surprise, a conservative that was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma. I am 19 and I am Hispanic. Not Mexican. My family hails from Uruguay. I am also a white man with brown eyes and brown hair. Nothing too special there. I am a very average person. I am a musician and a staunch conservative. Kind of. I am very conservative on fiscal issues, but primarily liberal on most social issues. I personally value fiscal issues over social ones.

I am anti-abortion for a litany of reasons, but that story is best saved for another time. I am pro-gay rights and am a first wave feminist. If you don't know about the waves of feminism, look them up. It is extremely interesting how feminism/egalitarianism has evolved. I believe third wave feminism is idiotic and a waste of time. I am not associated with many things belonging to the third wave. I am extremely average in most ways. I am average height, build, weight, and ideals. I am pro capitalism and believe it is the best economic structure by far. I am pro-Trump although he says some of the stupidest things. I am a believer that Trump will get reelected in 2020.

I am a Christian. I value all people equally. I believe no one person is greater than another in intrinsic value. That is not to say that some people are not better than others at specific things. I, for one, cannot play a piano to save my life, but I know several people who can. I am a philosopher. If I were not Christian, I would believe in the field of existentialism, the belief that life has no particular meaning and that you must make one. I am a believer in facts, not opinions. If you do not have facts to back up an opinion and just use emotions, or pathos for those English nerds, then I will not be inclined to listen to you. Facts are important. I am a believer that discourse is the number one most important thing to the United States at this present moment. Discourse can drive political discussion, but screaming and yelling is counterproductive and plainly childish and stupid.

Now what am I not?

I am not a socialist. I believe Bernie Sanders is a dreamer and all of his "facts" are plainly incorrect. For example, his calling the Nordic Countries a "utopia" is completely incorrect. The Nordic Countries socialist structures are driven behind capitalist ideals and supported through capitalism. I am not a democrat. I am not in support of any socialized health care. I do not believe it works.

So this is who I am. Enough to fill up almost 500 words. Wow.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
