She is not known for standing up for her self when she was done wrong.

Why Hillary Clinton Doesn't Empower Women
Slate

It is no secret that Hillary Clinton is running for president. She is the first woman in history to get this close to holding the highest title in America, but is she the right woman for the job? I do applaud her for her dedication trying to reach this position but she is not the woman I want to represent this country and be known as the first female president the United States of America.

So why doesn't she empower women you may ask. Back in the day, specifically the year 1998, Bill Clinton publicly commented on his infidelity. Hillary could have dropped him like a hot tamale and been a positive example to women showing us that if he cheats you don't need him in your life. But she didn't. Instead, she stayed.

Just in that tiny example, she showed us what not to do. She showed women all across the world that if he cheats it's okay. She had that opportunity to show people not to stay in an unhealthy relationship even if it is in the spotlight but she decided that she would stay with a man who lied to his country and took advantage of a White House intern.

I am not going to mention the corrupt things Hillary has done or the email scandal or the fact that she doesn't even know what she believes (but just throwing those things out there.) But I will mention that she is not a woman who cares about raising the female stereotype, she cares about keeping a certain status. She is known for two things really: deleting emails and being Bill Clinton's wife. She is not known for standing up for her self when she was done wrong. This is why she doesn't empower women.

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.
