I Am A Woman, And I Am Not Ready to Accept Donald Trump As My President

After the shocking final results of the 2016 election, I am terrified for America

I Am A Woman, And I Am Not Ready to Accept Donald Trump As My President

Remember when Donald Trump running for president was just a joke? Everyone laughed and thought he wouldn't last in the election. Well, congratulations America. You have now elected this man as President of the United States. This man is now the commander in chief for the next four years. Frankly, I have a hard time calling him a man. He is no man, he is a monster. He is a racist, sexist, bigot and I am terrified for our country.

As a woman with LGBT, Muslim, Native American, and African American friends, I am terrified. Under the power of Donald Trump we are now considered minorities. We are no longer equal and I am afraid our rights will be taken away as well. The way Donald Trump speaks about woman and to woman makes me fear for our safety for the next four years. Rape and sexual assault is now okay. Bullying is now okay. Being racist, sexist, and judgmental is now okay because there is no punishment. Two men who have been proven of sexually and verbally assaulting woman, being homophobic, and racist have just been elected as President and Vice President of our country.

Since the election results, America has been terrified. Protests, rallies, violence, and panic has spread across the nation. However, love will always win. We are a united nation and in order to survive four years of a trump presidency, fighting against each other is not the answer. We are called the UNITED States of America and now is the time to unite together and help each other out. I am a woman and I am against rape, sexist comments and racism. One fight just ended, but another fight has just begun. Women and "minorities" will stay united because that's what America is, has been, and will be about.

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.
