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.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
