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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

two women enjoying confetti

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
