I hope you fail at promoting fear and hate.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Firstly, I would like to say congratulations on your election. I do not say this because I support your presidency. I actually despise you. I find it disturbing that you were elected when you lost the popular vote by over two million.

As a queer woman, I find it disturbing you garnered any votes when your Vice President thinks he can electrocute people until they are straight and gives people the right to deny me service because of who I love.

As a woman, I find it terrifying that there are women who voted for you when you openly stated you have sexually assaulted women, when you have been charged with raping a child, when you hate on my sisters by calling them fat, bitches, whores. When you further stigmatize the natural process by which my body prepares itself to give birth, because you think a woman on her period is the only type of woman who would call you out, because a woman on her period is not rational.

As someone whose loved ones are immigrants and refugees, it breaks my heart that anyone would vote for the man who vows to “bomb the shit out of” Syria, and who said he would “look them in the eye and tell them they can’t come here” to the Syrian refugee children.

As someone who is dating a disabled person, whose friends are disabled, the fact that you are now my president when you openly mocked a disabled reporter makes me want to vomit and cry at the same time.

The fact that working class people think you understand them proves the need for improvement of our education system which you have ensured will not improve under you by appointing incompetent staff.

Donald J. Trump, you are a deplorable man and I hope you fail.

I hope you fail at promoting fear and hate. I hope you fail at stealing healthcare away from millions of people. I hope you fail at converting our public school system to private schools with a voucher system. I hope you fail at taking away a woman’s right to choose. I hope you fail at defunding Planned Parenthood. I hope you fail at convincing people climate change is a hoax. I hope you fail at raising taxes on the poor and giving tax cuts to the rich. I hope you fail at murdering millions of people. I hope you fail at building a wall to separate the us and the them further.

Because the us and them are both humans. We all bleed red. We all love and hope and cry and laugh and dream and fight. We all want to succeed. The problem with you, Mr. President, if you thrive when people fail. When somebody fails you give them somebody else to blame it on. This is a dangerous game you’re playing as you breed hate and fear.

Your fear is no way to lead the supposed “greatest country in the world.” I do want you to Make America Great Again. But not just for rich white men like yourself. Your demographic has had everything since the dawn of time. Make it great for the single mothers, the girl walking in the dark just trying to get home safe, the man who lost his job and everything else with it, the girl afraid to tell anyone she’s gay, the Muslim man walking down the street and the Hispanic woman holding his hand. Make America great for the sick, the poor, the hungry.

Make America great for everyone.


Because Americans are diverse. And that’s already great.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
