What Is Happening To This Country?

With the election done, the country is now in chaos. You’d think the craziness would be over now, but it's honestly worse than ever. People are confused, sad, happy, angry and in disbelief. As for me, personally, I’m very upset.

Trump winning was a big heart break to me. For our country to vote for a man who has said so many derogatory things about women and different races has me mind boggled and ashamed to live in this country. And so many people who voted for him are saying they don’t agree with the things he’s done but still voted for him because he can do good. No, voting for him gives him the satisfaction and assurance that what he has done is okay when it’s not.

Parents are telling their kids that Trump is a good man and that he’s going to be great for our country but when my eight-year-old sister comes home crying because a little girl told her “I’ve seen your mom and Trump is going to send her away to Mexico” is not okay. My family is Hispanic but most of our heritage comes from Spain, not even Mexico. No child should have to be told that and be in fear that their parent(s) are going to be taken away. People need to stop brain washing their kids and let them be kids and grow up on their own and find out what they want to believe in on their own. I know plenty of my “friends” and even family who voted for Trump and I will never be able to look at them the same. I take this election so personal because I am a woman and I am a woman of minority and Trump has truly harassed us verbally and completely got away with it.

I will not stand for this, I will do and say as much as I can till I am heard.

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.
