I AM A PROUD HISPANIC MILLENNIAL FEMALE THAT IS A SUPPORTER OF THE GOP!

I think that Republicans get a bad reputation. Obviously, Trump tweeting every five seconds doesn't help our case (no offense t-man). The media portrays us to be monsters and greedy capitalists. Other than that being wrong in so many ways, there are things that Republicans fight for because we know it has worked in the past and we don't want to see the United States collapse from socialism or communism.

Here is a list of reasons why I choose to be a Republican in the world full of Democrats

1. I am a born and raised Catholic

I am proud that I am part of a religion that believes that every child in the eyes of God can do bigger and better things in the world.

2. No, my parents didn't force me

There is a big misconception about Republicans. A lot of people believe that millennials are Republican because their parents only showed them the Republican viewpoints. In reality, yes my parents did raise me in Republican values but they also did let me experiment with the Democrat party. I was once a Democrat (all of my Republican friends can shame me for five seconds). I did believe that everything was wrong because it felt wrong. It wasn't until I was in high school that I found out that I was truly a Republican, that facts don't care about your feelings.

3. I believe in facts not feelings


Do I really have to explain this?

4. We had Ronald Reagan


This beautiful man turned out to become one of the most productive presidents America has ever had. He helped end the Cold War, cut tax rates in America, decreased unemployment and inflation and fought against the war on drugs. He treated his wife Nancy like she was the Queen of the Universe. #goals.

He is the true definition of the "All-American Boy".

5. I believe in smaller government

If you want more information look up Ron Swanson government quotes on google.

6. I believe in traditional ways

Two political parties. Babies form at conception. Two genders, etc.

7. Not all Republicans are old white men...

I had the pleasure to actually meet three of the women to the right at a conference. Being able to see that more culture and women are joining the Republican party is a beautiful thing! We need to stop the stereotype that the Republican party is only old white men.

8. I love the 2nd Amendment

Pretty self-explanatory.


I love my party and I love the U.S.A.

God Bless y'all.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.
