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.

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.
