In times of crisis I turn to you. You're the President of The United State, yet you act like a fool. You have racists in your cabinet, and while your supporters went as far to protect you and say that you aren't racist, you truly are.

You say you are a man of the people, yet you choose to kick those who keep this country strong out. You say you want to 'make America great again', yet those who have made America great again, are being persecuted and sent back to places they no longer call home. They may not be American citizens or hold a simple green card to prove that they are legal, but they are more American than anyone else. They love this land and work hard to live day in and day out in it. Their children educate themselves, learn the American way, speak perfect english (some better than many American born) and go on and get a diploma, just like the American dream promised. They celebrate the Fourth of July with pride and joy, and sing the anthem with love in their hearts. Yet your supporters and yourself want to kick them out.

I ask myself why, but I know the answer. The answer is that you are scared. You're scared that these latinos are taking your jobs and education. But the truth is, they really aren't. These immigrants have less chances to make a better life for themselves, yet they fight hard to do so. They don't have the same privileges as an American Citizen, yet they work hard so they can get close to even some kind of privilege. You bash immigrants for being rapists, criminals, and job stealers; but that is only a minority. What if we looked at white people as school shooters and lazy, but we don't. Then why look at a small amount of immigrants as rapists? I need you to realize that Immigrants as just as important as any other person in this country. They all may not have luxurious jobs, but they do clean your toilets, tend your gardens, and wash your cars. But they're stealing jobs? I don't see many American Citizens working four jobs so they can get their kids through school. And I am not here to bash citizens, I'm here to open everyones eyes. I want you to realize how hard it is for immigrants in this country. They work hard, and they do pay taxes. Don't hate them for working hard, applaud them for wanting a better job and wanting to live the American way.

Don't forget your ancestors were immigrants. Don't forget where you came from, because immigrants and minorities DID build this country. Without them, this country wouldn't be where it is today. Stop seperating families, stop leaving broken families throughout the country, because instead of fixing the problem, you are making it worse.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
