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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
