An Open Letter to Donald Trump
The Atlantic

Mr. Trump,

First of all I would like to start off with congratulations on winning the presidential election. I was stunned on your victory, and I myself was not one who voted for you, but nonetheless, congratulations. You have a great responsibility on your hands now, and I wish you all the best these next four years. You say you want to make America great again, and now you have endless opportunities to do so.

I myself, and many other Americans, were not exactly huge fans of yours, and that's just our opinion, but there were also many who believed in what you stand for and believe that you will do great things. I personally did not support you because I do not have the same values as you. I do not agree with what you stand for, and I do not agree with who you are as a person. Although I do not know you personally, how you acted at the debates, how I see you in the media, your hateful tweets, and discrimination really turned me off.

The media portrayed you as racist, homophobic, hateful, and sexist. I pray that this is not who you really are, I pray that the videos of you degrading women and promoting rape culture and discrimination are not what you believe in. Please be the man I saw in your victory speech who said he would be a president for ALL Americans. Be a President for the people, not against them. Promote love, not hate. I sincerely hope that the media portrayed you wrongly, and that your supporters really saw something great that I must have missed.

Prove to all the people who doubt you, and all the people who support you, that you will lead with grace. Prove to us that you won’t let America go up in flames. Prove to us that you are fit for this job. Prove to us that you know what you are doing. Prove to us that ALL Americans are welcome in the United States, and that hate will not be the heart of your presidency. Prove to us that "We The People" have a say in the affairs of this great country. Prove to us that you can be a great president.

Sincerely,

The Future of America

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
