Dear America: Part III

A final letter to the United States of America

Dear America,

I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the population of people who inhabit your land.

I am sorry for what we have put you through. We have taken your native people from you, only to take another race from their native land and bring them here to treat them like animals.

We don't take care of your children because they're lazy if we do, so we expect them to do everything on their own. We give them the right to vote and join the military, often times before they graduate high school but expect them to decide what they will do for the rest of their lives only months after they have to ask permission to get a drink of water.

We have school systems that focus on training obedience rather than ensuring that each student actually comprehends what they are being "taught."

We tell your citizens that they have no right to their bodies, minds or souls. We tell your women that they have to carry a pregnancy to term and have the child of the man who raped her but won't let that child use women's bathroom because he was assigned "boy" at birth.

We spend money on two story tour buses and treat your big cities like zoos, meanwhile some of your inhabitants; pillows are their shoes.

We tell your men that if they have feelings then they must be gay and sent to church camp so they can pray it away.

We have two puppets running for president; we can't agree on which is the one with more strings and neither one of them are going to fix any of these issues.

Donald Trump is right. We have some bad people, some bad, bad people in this country. We need to get them out and stop them from running for president.

Hillary Clinton said, "we're standing but we're not yet running." I'm going to take this out of context for a second and say she's absolutely wrong. We're not even standing.

I hope that we fix this for you in 2020.

Sincerely,

Your inhabitants.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
