Dear Donald Trump

You Are Not the President of the UNITED States

Dear Donald Trump,

Following the Inaugural Address on Friday January 20th, you were sworn into office as President. You may be the President, but you are not the President of the United States. For decades, America has regarded itself as a United Nation. There is a diversity of Blacks, Whites, Native Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, males, females and people of the LGBTQ community. Even with all our differences, we coexist peacefully in the same communities. During the course of the election, countless offensive actions of yours created a divide in the Nation. Throughout your campaign you relentlessly ostracized women, gays, blacks, Latinos, Muslims, transgenders, lesbians, and Asians. A President is 'the leader of a country', disturbingly enough, you are considered the role model of America. As President I would hope you're aware of the document the Founding Fathers based this nation on; the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence states: "all men are created equal." Equality is the reason horrific wars throughout the World have been fought. The blood shed during the Civil War to make blacks and whites equal; The amount of deaths it took to make blond hair and blue eyes just an appearance rather than a superior race; your hateful discriminations have taken us back in time a hundred years. When the Founding Fathers birthed this great nation, freedom was and has been a top priority for America. Freedom of religion, sexuality, and (since the establishment of slavery in 1865,) freedom of race and nationality are a few of the the extremely important freedoms you as an American citizen are granted automatically. You Trump, have threatened the freedom of a large percentage of America. You bullied different races, nationalities, genders and sexualities. You treated these people different from you as scum. You want to build a wall so we can be "protected". Protected from what? Diversity? People relocate here so they can feel safe. You've ripped that safe feeling away from everyone and anyone who isn't a straight white male.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
