Dear President-Elect Trump
wonderopolis.org

Congratulations! You have officially been elected to the most powerful position in the world. You must be very honored. I wonder if you were surprised. I know I would be if I got a job that I don't have experience for. But then again, as a woman I get passed up for jobs that I am more than qualified for simply because I don't have a penis. I guess I should just learn my place and be grateful that I at least have control over my own body. But wait... I heard you're trying to change that too. Hmmm...I guess I don't have much to look forward to while you're in office.

At least I can still be happy that America is still an open and accepting country. I'm sure the LGBTQ community has nothing to worry about as long as they don't care about their basic human rights. After all, your VP Mike Pence is very openly homophobic and has stated that he wants to ban same-sex marriage.

Hey, at least people everywhere can still come to America and chase the "American Dream." I'm sure Muslims have nothing to worry about with this whole Muslim database/registry idea being tossed around. I think that's what Hitler made the Jews do at the start of the Holocaust but the Jews probably just overreacted during that whole situation.

I would touch on why the black community should be happy you're in office but that would require a whole other letter that I just don't have time to write at this moment. I guess I'll just quote what you said, "what have you got to lose?" I mean, they might lose any respect that they have gained over the years or possibly their lives due to the government and white supremacy dehumanizing them but that's a small price to pay to make America white again... ooops! I mean great again.

Speaking of making America great again, what time period were you thinking of? When Columbus "found" America? Well, no, because he and other explorers and settlers basically killed almost all of the Native Americans. What about when the Founding Fathers were around? That can't be right because slavery still existed. Maybe after slavery was abolished? I guess not because Jim Crow Laws were put in place. Then we have the Great Depression, which was the last time republicans ran every aspect of the government, WWI, WWII, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement were African-Americans actually had to let America know that they were humans that deserved basic rights, mass incarceration of minorities that destroyed countless families, and good Lord don't even get me started on the Bush Administration. So when was America really all that great? Please let me know because clearly I'm missing something.

But hey congrats, really, I wish you the best. With any luck, America won't go decades backwards.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
