Dear Donald Trump

Why I can't support this Republican candidate.

Dear Donald Trump

Donald Trump,

Soon, the people of America will decide whether or not you will be the next person to run this country. While many find your "honesty" appealing, I do not. I believe you are honest, for the most part. I believe that you speak exactly what is on your mind, and I find the things that are on your mind to be very troubling. You have called women names based on their weight, breast size, and appearance. You have judged people based on the color of their skin or their religious preference. You say you stand with the Constitution, but what about freedom of religion? When you threaten to ban Muslims from entering the country, you are shredding the first amendment. You have stated that you are allowed to sexually assault a female just because you're rich and famous, and you believe you can get away with it. Of course, the second you are accused of sexual assault, the woman making the allegations is a "liar". You have called yourself a man of Christian values, but doesn't the Bible say to love thy neighbor? It doesn't say, "Love thy neighbor as long as they aren't gay, Muslim, or poor," it says, "Love thy neighbor," with no exceptions added. You also have the nerve to judge Hillary Clinton based on the fact that her husband cheated on her, but you cheated on wife number one with wife number two, and wife number two with wife number three. I'm pretty sure the Bible is against adultery as well. A few months ago, you were worried about transgender going into the "incorrect" bathroom, claiming that they would sexually harass our daughters. However, you are currently in the middle of a trial for the rape of a minor. You are a violent man. We have heard you say that you will torture innocent women and children of our enemies, which is not only morally wrong, but would also mean you would be committing war crimes. You would be ordering our soldiers to commit war crimes. You claim to love and support our troops, but you stood on stage and shamed the name of a fallen soldier.

I cannot support you for these reasons, Donald Trump. I can't, and I won't.

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

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.

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!
