It's Pointless To Protest On President's Day

Since President's day just passed, I felt like I should write an article on the events that are occurring on this day.

Protesting this day and saying the oh so famous line "not my," and adding "president's day to it," is kind of annoying, and also it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Simply because President's day is to honor all of the president's that have passed, and formed, and shaped our country, not just the current one who some can't seem to accept.

It seems bizarre to me that these people will use anything any type of event, holiday, or public forum to protest. Go home!!!! It's time to move on and accept that the election did not go your way, and you will have to accept that Donald Trump is your president, at least for the next four years. If you don't like it, maybe you should go out and vote again at the next election, that would help your case more than attacking every single move the president makes. Attacking his family, his policies, him in general, will not change the results and it is getting really annoying for everyone else who has accepted it or even wanted it to hear that there is a new protest every single week over the same thing.

These are protests, these are whining over things that you can't change and frankly, it is getting old.

I want to be supportive, I want to support your right to protest, like I have, but this is just old at this point. It's time to accept what you can't change and start respecting the country you live in, and the people who lead over you because he is your president and it certainly is your President's Day.

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.
