Donald Trump's Win Is A Win For The Little Guy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUXeN4TypTg

As I write this, it is the night of November 10. Less than 48 hours after I found out the man I supported since last summer won the Presidency. This is a win for more than just Donald Trump and Mike Pence -- this is a win for the little guy.

I watched as state after state turned red. I watched as Donald Trump took Florida, which Mitt Romney lost in 2012. Then the entire Rust Belt turned red -- Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan all went for Trump.

After the election Donald Trump tweeted,

Such a beautiful and important evening! The forgotten man and woman will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November">https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/7963156... 9, 2016.

Regular working class Americans are fed up with the way the system has beat down and alienated them, and they made their voices heard at the polls. Coal miners and steel workers, who have traditionally voted Democrat, could not be swayed to follow Hillary Clinton.

This was more than just an election between two candidates. One one side stood the mainstream media, political corruption, elitism, and career politics. On the other stood hope and change, a political outsider, a fight for the average American.

Donald Trump became the voice for those who felt like they did not have one. Blue collar workers especially are the backbone of our nation, and they have increasingly been ignored by the Democratic Party.

This victory signifies hope and change for millions of Americans, and I, for one, and beyond happy and excited to watch President Trump, along with a Republican House and Senate and the American people, make America great again.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
