8 Reminders That Love Trumps Hate
CNN

After a shocking and frightening election result, it can be hard to remember that there is still good in the world. As Obama said, "The sun will rise in the morning." Here are a few things that prove that truly, love trumps hate.

1. This video of a little girl inspiring us all to be better people.

She's unafraid to speak her mind, regardless of her age, gender, and race, and inspiration to us all.

2. People wrote love notes to America at a subway station.

A reminder that not everyone in the world is so bad.

3. A gay man proposed to his boyfriend after Election Day.

4. Hillary Clinton's speech that reminds us that all hope is not lost.

Even though she may not be the first female president, we'll make well sure that there will be a female president soon.

5. This pug that proudly declares his love for "bones over bigots."

"Pugs Against Trump" seriously needs to become a movement asap. Love and cute pugs, what more do you need?

6. Children wrote sweet messages to Hillary Clinton in chalk outside of her headquarters.

The messages include everything from simple, heartfelt thanks, to restatements of her campaign slogan.

7. This community got together to get rid of the racist vandalism on one family's property.

After the Phillips' family property was covered in racist, hateful, and obscene language, the community got together to help them out and show solidarity with them.

8. After a young Muslim girl was scared by Trump's Islamophobia, these vets reminded her that they would protect her.

Using the hashtag #IWillProtectYou, army vets pledged that they would not let their citizens feel unsafe.

No matter how terrible it seems to get, there are always people in the world who are actively trying to make it a better, safer, and more accepting place. If you can't find a helper, be one. And remember, that we are always stronger together.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
