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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

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.
