I Am A Young Republican

An opinion cannot be right or wrong.

I Am A Young Republican

I am a Republican. And yes, I am young. I know what you’re all thinking at this point. “Shocker, a young republican who doesn’t know what she is talking about.” That right there makes me a proud republican because I do not live up to these ridiculous misconceptions. Yes, I support Trump and I strongly think he is our last hope for this country. So, duh. I will be voting for him because I despise all liberal/socialist parties. Here is why:

I have a strong belief that liberals have no clue what are country is truly about, and to me that is what is breaking our country. If this generation educated themselves, learned ALL the facts, and looked at BOTH sides of each party (like I did) then they would finally understand that this is America and you get what you work for. What you put in is what you get out. There is no “half-assing” it.

You want to go to college? Awesome. Make the grades, apply for scholarships, get a job, and stop complaining it isn’t free. “Well Bernie said…..” COLLEGE CAN NOT BE FREE. NOTHING IS FREE. Sorry for the caps lock there but seriously people…? Rewind at second because I take back my apology for how harsh I just sounded because I am only being honest. We live in a world where free is not a thing. I promise Bernie can try and make “free college” a real thing, but I can also promise you will see your tax dollars reach an all-time high which basically means we will all be paying for everyone to go to college. And really, how is that fair?

College is a privilege. Yes, it sucks paying for college, but I know if college was free, it would not be taken as seriously as it is today. Just like all the other free education from high school wasn’t taken seriously. I personally do not want to sit in a class full of slackers who will just take college for granted. That is quite frankly wasting mine and the professor’s time and effort in every aspect. I absolutely refuse to let my tax payer money go to the people who are lazy, and expect everything to be handed to them.

Secondly, let me just state, this generation is disrespectful.

I am SO ashamed to be a part of this generation. I am ashamed to be a woman in this country because I am put in the category of feminism. Mark my words, I will never be a feminist because of how women treat men these days. If this movement is about equality then why are we treating men as if they are below us? Why do we feel the need to be bullies? This isn’t the 1900s anymore. I am tired of hearing about women’s rights. You may think I sound ignorant but I am simply just stating the facts.

When did this generation become so soft about people’s opinions? Why is everyone offended about everything? Why does everything have to be politically correct? It’s ANNOYING.

How come when republicans (Like Trump) try to voice our opinions we are threatened, and we are wrong? Last time I checked, an opinion can’t be wrong because it is an opinion. Why is it that this country is about standing up for what you believe in but when someone does so, people disgrace them? A liberal can voice their opinion and everyone will cheer but when we republicans do, we get boos? Not cool.

I could go on forever because I have surprisingly taken a liking to politics and everything it is about but I will stop here. I encourage everyone to voice their own opinions, like I have just done with mine, but I discourage everyone to start a riot over who is right and who is wrong.

Wake up, America!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
