Donald J. Trump,

Congratulations Donald. You are officially the 45th President of the United States of America. Despite using your platform to divide the nation that you are now a representative of, somehow you’ve managed to acquire the most coveted and significant position in our country. Now that you’ve taken the oath of office and the torch has officially been passed on to you, you have the duty to uphold the oath you made to the Constitution that you have sworn to protect. Unfortunately, the promises, language and lies you’ve used on your campaign trail to tug at the strings of a desperate and divided United States suggest that the document that is deemed the law of the land means nothing to you (and I often question whether you’ve studied it at all).

It may seem like you have won and that your agenda of regression for the United States will imminently go forth unhindered, but this is the opposite of the truth. The people: those who care deeply about this country and all of its denizens no matter their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, gender or documentation status, will vehemently oppose any legislation that threatens or attacks the human rights of people in this country and around the world. If sed threats to our freedoms occur, expect reactions, expect protests, and expect opposition.

Additionally, we call on the press to continue their active pursuit of your truth; to shed light on the wrongdoings of your past, present, and future. You may have had journalists wrapped around your fingers during the primaries and the election, however, you are the one they have their eyes and ears on for the next four years. Every move you make will be met with intense scrutiny. Any attempts to silence the press and restrict their coverage of the actions of your administration will also be rebuked. Journalists serve an important purpose to this country as informants and the revealers of truth. To oppose their noble duty would be counterproductive to your self-professed agenda of freedom.

And finally regarding the state of our planet: The facts are in Mr. Trump. The average temperature of the planet is increasing dramatically according to 97% of the climate scientists who have dedicated their lives to uncovering, studying and examining this inconvenient truth. It is without a doubt not a Chinese Hoax, but a real issues that threatens the continuity of current and future ecosystems as well as the human race itself. You may feel compelled to believe in the convenient lie that we are not at fault for the planet’s changing climate while rich fossil fuel investors line your pockets, but you cannot eat, drink or breathe money. The moment we notice your fight crosses the line from for the people to for the rich and powerful, we will act accordingly.

Money and deceit combined with your new position can be remarkably powerful, but the will of the people of this country is stronger. Be prepared, because we are fired up and ready to go.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
