Dear President Elect Donald Trump,

Congratulations on getting elected. You have quite the ride ahead of you, but I'm sure you already know that. Now I'm not writing you this letter because you are Donald Trump, I'm writing you this letter because you are the president-elect, the president to be, the president with the opportunity to make this country better.

I'm not here to tell you why I like you or why I don't like you, or what I agree with or disagree with. I'm simply here to tell you that I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful for a brighter future. I'm hopeful for this country- that it'll be stronger, smarter and better than it ever has been before. Most of all, I'm hopeful that you're hopeful. I hope and pray that you see the potential that I see, in this country and in its people. I'm hopeful for you.

I hope that you'll prove yourself. I hope that you'll prove yourself to be more than what the media portrays you to be. I hope that within that anger there is passion and drive and that deep down inside, your words come from good intentions.

I hope that you'll understand. Every heart carries a different story, every life has followed a different path, and I hope you understand and honor individuality. I hope that you have perspective on every situation and that you go about everything accordingly. I hope you consider the best for this country, but more importantly the people in it.

I hope that you'll love. We would both be lying to ourselves if we said that America was full of love, especially right now. There are riots in the streets, men and women alike are saying hateful things, putting words in each others' mouths, misguided intentions in each others' hearts, so my God, more than anything I hope that you will love, and show this country how to love again.

We need to stop being the Disunited States of America and I hope you see that. We need to come together again, because at the end of the day we are one in the same. We are all humans, in need of love and patience and understanding.

President Elect Donald Trump, I am so incredibly hopeful. I hope that you will truly, make America great again.

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.
