America, It's Time To Come Together And Believe

Were you in support of #ImWithHer or were you ready to "Make America Great Again?" Are you relieved of our President-elect? Are you scared of our President-elect? Either way, we, and when I say we I refer to America as a whole, have your back.

In the first election I decided to pay attention to, I learned so much about this country: the people in it and the people running for President of the United States. I learned how important our opinions are, how important it is to accept other people's opinions, and how important it is to be open to new and foreign ideas.

I was never a Trump supporter, in fact, I woke up on November 9, 2016, with a stomachache and that was before I found out he won the election. Every debate I cringed, I felt embarrassed for him and his beliefs, I couldn't take him seriously. His voice, his gestures, and him in entirety went right through me. Never in a million years have I thought that Donald Trump would be the President of the United States. Keep in mind that I wasn't a huge fan of Hilary either. I felt the way she presented herself and the way she spoke to America was much more graceful and meaningful.

Now, Donald Trump is and will be our President. My feelings have not changed, I am not a supporter of Trump, but I do and will continue to have an open mind. There is nothing that I personally can do about this. We proud Americans, brothers, and sisters, neighbors, and coworkers need to come together. We need to give Donald Trump a chance. A chance to prove to us he's more than that man that stood in front of us for the past three months yelling and being demanding.

Donald Trump is, believe it or not, a human being. He may be different than most of us, but he does have the right to his opinion and his beliefs.

I wrote this article truly to voice my opinions to those anxious, hopeless, angry, and scared to watch America be Made Great Again. As a woman, I'm right there with you. The unknown is feared, but it should also be looked positively upon.

I truly believe Donald Trump will surprise us, I truly hope Donald Trump surprises us.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
