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.

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.
