I am done feeling ashamed of my political beliefs.

Why I Can't Be Afraid To Share My Support For Trump

Forbes

I've always been a Republican, I come from a Republican household and my political opinions have always veered more towards the right.

And since I am a Republican, I will be voting for Donald Trump on November 8th.

And yes, I am a woman (shocking, right?!). There is a lot of negative feedback that occurs whenever a woman openly admits that she is voting for Trump, mainly because of his "locker room talk" scandal and recent sexual assault allegations. In no way shape or form to I condone what he said, however, this happened back in 2005, which was 11 years ago and I believe that he is a changed man now. I believe that Trump is the best candidate because he truly is dedicated to improving America. Unlike Hillary Clinton, who seems to be more for herself than the American people.

Now don't get me wrong, I am all for putting a woman in the White House, I just do not believe that Hillary Clinton should be that woman. However, I won't try and argue with anyone who does not agree with me and I certainly would never call them "ignorant" or "undereducated" just because we have different political views. I respect other people's opinions and believe that everyone should be able to express their beliefs without the fear of getting attacked by those who don't agree with them. I wish that this weren't the case for this election but it sadly is. I wish that I could openly express my opinions on this election without the fear of people calling me nasty things, and the fact that this is becoming a general occurrence is truly disturbing because it goes against everything people stand for. I should be able to express my opinion and I should not feel ashamed for voting in favor of the candidate I believe in, which in this case is Donald Trump. I had a lot of reservations about writing this article due to the negativism that I would most likely receive from those who do not agree with my viewpoint, however, this is not about others agreeing with me, it is about making the right decision based on my beliefs.

But I'm done being concerned about what others think and I'm done keeping my opinions to myself, I don't care if people don't agree with me or think I'm wrong for siding with Donald Trump. I am a woman, I am informed, I am voting for Donald Trump, and I am NOT ashamed of that. Remember you can't complain if you don't participate in the process.

No matter your opinion, your voice deserves to be heard, so please get out and vote on November 8th.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
