Accepting The "L"

And Move On............

Accepting The "L"
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2015/dec/22/donald-trump-responds-lie-year-says-hes-been-prove/

In today's time we want to to blame each other for each others downfalls. We want to use violence, bullying, and other tactics to deflect from what's really going on. Let me explain what taking the "L" means: you just take the loss and move on. I've learned over the past couple of years that to be a mature adult , we must be able to admit that we are wrong sometimes. But we tend to point the finger at others , when there are 4 others pointing right back at us. For instance Donald Trump is our next president, but instead of moving on and seeing what he can do for our country, we still are dealing with stuff that happened last year during the election like the alleged Russian hacking, or the Hilary Clinton email scandal. My favorite saying is , If you can't beat them join them in the game. Now don't get me wrong I still believe he isn't fit to run the country because he needs to control his twitter fingers , because everything doesn't merit a response. But I do believe in giving someone a chance to prove themselves either wrong or right people can change even though people think it's impossible in today's times. It may just come down to we were wrong about Trump leading the country, and he may be one of the greatest leaders behind Obama to accomplish what he sat out to do. America I know this may be a hard pill to swallow, but we have to deal with this decision we made for the next four years.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
