An open letter to the Trump protestors

He is your president

An open letter to the Trump protestors

Dear people who are protesting your President of the United States,

As of January 20th 2017 at 12:00pm, Donald Trump is your President of the United States of America, Mike Pence is your Vice President and Melania Trump is your fist lady. You may not like this choice however, this does not give you any right to destroy someone's business or set things on fire.

"He's not my President" will no longer suffice because officially, he is. Of course there is nothing wrong with protesting in a civilized manner but hating on his 10 year old son shouldn't be an option. He hasn't done anything wrong except support his father because he's a 10 year old boy.

I have come to notice that many of you protestors are very ignorant about why you're actually protesting Mr Trump. "He's a racist" over 50% of his company is minorities and his wife isn't from this country. "He's disrespectful to women" he's married and his wife adores him. "He's going to ruin our military" He was a marine. "He doesn't know anything about politics he's a business man " I believe that is the reason he was elected; America is tired of politicians.

You don't have to like him, but respect him and his family. He's just trying to make America great again

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
