Being the Love in a Hateful America

This election has caused many people to start saying some horrible things. Both to and from Trump supporters. Something to note, however, is that everybody, regardless of political views, religion, color, etc. have feelings.

Sometimes, when people have harsh feelings, their judgment gets clouded, and they say extremely hurtful things. All around me, people are saying how much they hate Trump supporters and how rude and outrageous Trump supporters are. Those same people are spewing the same trash they supposedly are "against."

When you let opinions take over your emotions, there typically isn't a good response. I have talked to people who voted for Trump and people who didn't. The one who voted for him, are scared. Scared of what people will do or say to them. Some have said they feel shameful and they feel rejected. They feel rejected by the people blaming them for being judgmental. Problem?

There needs to be peace. Peace on all sides. Non-biased peace. People need to realize that everybody has feelings. Everybody has concerns. Everybody is experiencing the same America. We want unity. We don't want to walk around completely divided. We are one nation under God, regardless of the president.

Moral of the story, love everybody. Just because somebody supports Trump, there is no need to call them stupid, idiot, moron, and other words I can't even bring myself to type. Nobody will solve anything if there is no room for love.

Be the peace.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
