Being A Republican in a Liberal School.

We are all a little different.

So, you are a Republican at a Democratic university?

Me too. Is it all that bad? Not really. Unless you are so into politics that hearing your friends talk about Hillary Clinton or whoever makes your head pop off. As a Republican who isn't a huge fan of politics and hearing the other side of the political world on a day to day basis, it honestly doesn't phase me. Sure, my roommate is a hardcore Hillary fan and she can be. It is her own right.

I don't judge people by believing in someone that I don't see fit for presidency. For all I know they feel the same way about my nominee. We were separated for a reason. I enjoy staying on the sidelines and letting other people banter and bicker about it. I don't fancy the whole 'you're wrong, I'm right' thing. It's redundant. We keep saying that too each other, but who really is right?

I grew up Republican, baptist, and in the south. It was in my roots from the very beginning. I signed that voter registration card as Republican and I knew what I was getting myself into when I set foot on a liberal campus. People were saying: 'Oh you like Donald Trump don't you?' to 'I bet Ronald Reagan was your favorite president.' Guess what? I didn't tell them. I wasn't going to their bantering level. I stay out of it the best I can.

You couldn't pay me enough to be a political science major. I'll stay over here in my accounting corner and go on with my day (we aren't the greatest either).

If you are someone who loves politics and could make a living out of it, good for you. If you have a good platform and I believe in you, sure, I'll vote for you. If you are acing your political science classes then have at it. You enjoy it, keep going. I'd never bash someone in politics because they are doing something that I would never do.

Therefore, cheers to you Political Science majors for sticking your neck out there and being that low percent that enjoys politics. Glad I'm not one of ya.

Cheers to the people staying out of the way and enjoying it. I'm right there with you. The other side isn't that bad after all.

Sincerely yours,

Your Future Accountant

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
