Come together. Don't divide.

Okay, I understand people are probably very tired of hearing about politics, but this is an issue I feel needs to be strongly addressed. Since the election of Donald Trump, there has been multiple riots from people who were displeased with the results. People are burning flags, beating up cars, and even beating up Trump supporters. These riots are not helping anything. They only cause division among American citizens.

There has also been a lot of Trump supporters who have been making racial comments, as well as being involved in hate crimes against people of different color or religion. This not only causes division among citizens, but also scares people of different races and religions. All of these hateful, destructive acts have got to stop.

To the Trump supporters, Trump himself has been talking about uniting the American people. This means you too. He wants all of us, including you guys, to come together and help this country grow rather than dividing it even further. If we keep this up, our country will soon be one of war and destruction. I don't know about you, but that's the main thing that scares me.

I would hate to see a war break out on our own soil, and between our own peers. We've seen this already. Remember? It was called the Civil War. If we have another one of these, this county would definitely fail.

I ask you guys to please think about this before doing anything else that is considered hurtful or destructive. I didn't want to leave this country after the election because I wanted to believe we were better than this. I wanted to believe we could team up, rally around what we have, and help out our nation as best as we can. Please prove me right.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
