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.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
