He Is Your President

I don't love him, but we can't change the votes

He Is Your President

I know most are not happy with the outcome of this election, I am not thrilled by any means either, but there is nothing we can do now, so we have to accept it. The jokes about leaving the country if Trump becomes president were all fun and games until he actually became out president-elect. As much as it pains me to think about having a Mr. President Trump, it is now becoming a reality. Trust me, I am just as guilty as the other anti-trump people of not accepting the fact that he is our president and spreading the fear across Facebook and Twitter. When I face a difficult or bad situation, I try to look on the brighter side and find good things in the non-ideal situation. I went through some of the things that Trump plans to do in his first 100 days in office and found a few good things that is planning on doing.

1. Trump plans on getting rid of the corruption in Washington

He wants to implement term limits on Congressmen and women to avoid any one member from always winning the election. He also wants to impose a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

2. Trump is planning on working with Congress to introduce some broader legislative measures

He plans on introducing the School Choice And Education Opportunity Act which will relocate education funds to allow parents full choice on how and where to educate their children. It will also eliminate common core and allows the education supervision to be localized. The act will also make 2 and 4 year colleges more affordable.

Trump plans on introducing the Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. This would replace Obamacare with a Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and it would allow states to manage Medicaid funds. This would also loosen the strings on the FDA and allow lifesaving medications to be legalized.

I know this is not much to look forward to these next four years that Trump will be in office, but it is better than nothing. Hillary Clinton stated that she wants us to come together to work with our next President in order for this country to stay united as one. We have to keep moving forward and allow Trump to show us how he is going to operate in the White House.

We need to stop the protests and riots and the "He is not my President" nonsense. Some people have stated that we let hate win when Trump was elected to be out next President but I say that if we stay together and work with Trump instead of against him, hate will never, ever win.

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.
