Make Acceptance Great (Again)

I never did enjoy talking about politics. It’s that one subject that most people try to avoid because that’s just fighting a fire that most people don’t want to deal with. However, this subject becomes what seems to be the only subject to talk about in the beginning of November every four years. And we, as Americans, are expected to make our own opinions. Donald Trump is now the President for the next four years. In other words, we should ACCEPT Donald Trump to be the President for the next four years.

Let me start off by saying I do respect Trump and would rather see him president over Hilary any day. No, I’m not anti-feminist, no I’m not racist, and no I’m not against LGBT, and it’s not difficult to find other Trump supporters out there that feel the same way. Let me remind you that both candidates are certainly not perfect. Trump has said some insulting words, no doubt about that, and it is concerning to think someone with that mindset can be President. However, no one is perfect so how can we expect our president to be? Words can be replaced by actions, but actions, on the other hand, are rather difficult to be replaced.

This brings me to the perspective on why Hilary Clinton seemed as unqualified. Yes, she is a female and it is fantastic to see that we live in a time where women can rise to that potential. Although she may be a female, we can’t forget to look at it from an individual perspective. As you may know, Clinton has been under FBI investigation for deleting thousands of emails leading towards the deaths of men in Benghazi. For me, that had made choosing who I support in this election quite simple. I couldn’t fathom the idea of someone who allowed that to happen to run our country. As previously stated, the words of Trump can’t possibly be compared to such lies and corruption.

Trump has not started his journey yet, and people are already prepared to “pack their bags”. I’m not asking you to love the man, but give him a chance. I can assure you that everyone will still be guaranteed their rights. Trump has proposed some spectacular ideas for this country involving national security and criminally illegal immigrants.

These are the things that have posed as issues for years. He even spoke about giving benefits to our veterans. This man is no dictator; he is working to change this country in positive ways. Trump would not be president if America did not want him to be. Listen to your country, because two-hundred-and-seventy-nine electoral votes was no mistake. The only thing we, as Americans, can do is wait and see if President Trump will keep his promises.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
