We Are All Americans

We are all under the same rights as one another.

We Are All Americans
Lauren Parramore

To start off I wanna say, We are ALL Americans. We all have the same rights. We have the right to vote and we also have the right to speak what we want, but when you speak remember that WE are ALL Americans.

As of yesterday, January 20, 2017, we have a new President. This may offend some people, but what we as Americans need to realize is, WE are ALL in this together. You may not have voted for President Trump, but he is your President.

As I got on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook yesterday, I was so ashamed.. I was ashamed in who we have become and what we continue to show this world. What people don't realize is their protesting is only hurting the people around them. President Trump doesn't care that you are throwing trash cans around, crying while he's sworn in or holding up signs. He was elected as our President and there is nothing you can do about it.

If you voted for a different candidate, that is fine, but that doesn't mean you can hurt the others around you.

As for me, I voted for President Trump. I believed in him as a man and a leader. You may have voted for Hillary and you may have believed in her, but realize that not everyone is gonna have the same views as you.

This article will more than likely offend a few to many people, but honestly I do NOT care. I am tired of people believing that just because they are offended by a decision, opinion, or even a post, they can say hurtful things to one another or do hurtful things.

As the next 4 years play out, we can only hope for the best for our country. We are ALL Americans and we all have the same rights.

I believe in our nation and I believe that we will overcome the division that is becoming so clear to everyone else in the world. The U.S. has always shown a strong hand to other nations, until now.

When you go out, and voice your opinion to others, just remember, We are ALL Americans and we ALL live under the same rights and regulations.

GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY!!!

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
