Facebook For President?

When did Republicans become the devil and Democrats become crybabies?

Facebook For President?
University of Miami School of Business

I think we can all agree that things in the past presidential election have gotten out of hand. I've been alive for five elections and have been aware for four, and I have never seen the amount of crazy that came out in the past year and a half.

Just today my mom had to delete my aunt because of attacks on a completely loving post from my aunt's more political friends. What??

I know of people who have not only lost Facebook friends, but real friends as well. This is not ok. When did elections become so emotional? When did the words Democrat and Republican divide this country literally in two?

I think it's insane that two, sane, adult humans cannot have differing political opinions and still remain sane, adult human friends. What ever happened to agreeing to disagree and respecting people's right to their opinion?

When did Republicans become the devil and Democrats become crybabies? I know plenty of people on both sides of the aisle who are awesome, amazing people whom I'm so proud to call my friends. And no, I will not vilify them and call them names on the internet just because they voted for someone I don't like--aka Hilary and Trump--because 1) I don't have time for petty feuds on the internet, and 2) I'm not in middle school.

Here's the deal, we have someone who is going to be our President for the next four years, and not very much is going to change that. So instead of tearing each other apart, let's come together to heal and move forward.

Oh and stay off Facebook.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
