Dear Mr. Trump

A public letter to Donald Trump

Dear Mr. Trump

Mr.Trump,

While watching your Republican National Convention acceptance speech, I found myself really conflicted with some of your points. Frankly, I was left flabbergasted at some of the lies your team uses to enhance the rhetoric of your campaign. Not to mention, the empty promises you gave to the American people in order to remain truth to your slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

First of all, let’s look at some of the major lies you utilize in your RNC speech. Mr. Trump, you stated, “America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world.” Well, taking a look at the data provide by the Organization For Economic Co-Operation And Development -- otherwise known as the OCED -- the United States was ranked 27th out of 30 developed nations with a GDP taxation of 26 percent. The top most taxed nation are Denmark (50.9 percent), France (45.2 percent), Belgium (44.7 percent) , Finland(43.9 percent) and Italy (43.6 percent) respectively. This statistically clarifies that the United States is not one of the most taxed nations in the developed world. Instead, we are one of the least taxed nations.

Now, redirecting your attention back to the RNC. During your entire speech, I couldn’t help but notice the few “Hispanic Para Trump” or “Latinos Para Trump” signs. At first, I notice that most of these signs were not held by actual Latinos/Hispanic, but by white Americans. I understand that the usage of these so-called "signs" is to create an increase in the Latino vote. But at least pay some Latinos to hold these sign since "two million more Latinos are in poverty today than when President Obama took his of office..." according to you. Then there is also this...

In closing, Mr. Trump, next time please use more caution when distributing signs. Maybe try to fact check your speeches. If this letter reaches you, I would like to thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
An employed Latino student with no criminal record.

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.
