Dear Mr. Trump, You Won't Silence Us

But you will try.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Please note that I’m not referring to you as Mr. President

Because you are not my President now, nor will you be so for the next 4 years

I can’t argue that you didn’t win the position, and I can’t say that you weren’t inaugurated as the 45th POTUS

But I’m not going to give you the respect of that title. Respect is earned, and you’ve earned none of mine

You don’t respect my rights, so I won’t respect you as a person

I don’t wish you to fail for our country, because I’m still living here, but I hope that we can fight every all-right bill your administration tries to pass.

No, we do not need a wall, immigrants aren’t stealing jobs, companies are taking advantage of migrant workers that they can pay less than minimum wage

No, we don’t need conversion therapy, though your VP would disagree

When you say you’re going to put America first before anything else, we know what you mean

Your America is full of rich, white, straight, cis-gendered men, their businesses, and their families.

In that order.

How can we expect you to care about a country when all you care about is yourself?

You, a rapist, racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, pathological liar.

Someone who can’t even handle criticism, or who can’t handle the truth?

People share photo’s of your inauguration, but your administration states the media was lying? Again.

You can’t force your propaganda down our throats and expect us to take it as fact. You’re calling the media swine, bitches, bimbo’s, disgusting, so you can push your rhetoric on your voters.

You state that you want people to come to you for the “facts” because you can’t handle someone calling you out on your lies.

You say that Washington is corrupt, but you and your administration are now Washington? You’re not a part of the people, you’re part of the problem.

We’re going to be here, opposing you all the way. We’re here to fight you. 2.9 billion people gathered to protest you and your administration. The largest protest in US history.

You can’t divide us, you can’t destroy us, you can’t lie to us, you can’t convince us, you can’t dismiss us.



You won’t silence us.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
