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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
