Here's to You, Tomi Lahren

I'm curious as to your "final thoughts" on this one, dear.

Here's to You, Tomi Lahren

Tomi Lahren, I want to ask you a question. A few questions, for that matter. You seem educated, so I’m sure you’re familiar with the main questions that we ask in the world.

Who, what, when, where, and why-––I'm curious as to your answers.

WHO decided that it was up to you to speak to the public of the world in the manner that you do? No, no, speak is the wrong word. That’s not what you do, is it? See, you’re given a microphone that’s clipped to the top of the pretty dress that you’re wearing that’s plenty close to your mouth but you still feel the need to yell. Was that your idea, Tomi? Are you able to take responsibility for your actions and how you present yourself? Who did this to you, Tomi? Or is it just you?

WHAT makes you think that your words are going to be okay? Do you speak in the moment, make it up right there on the spot or do you let your words stew around in your mind to make it seem as scary and negative as possible? What is it that makes you so angry, Tomi? Do you feel betrayed by the people that are citizens of this country? While you feel betrayed by some, they probably feel betrayed too. Some feel the need to sit or kneel during the national anthem not because they’re gay, lesbian, black, white, but because the country that they’re living in, the country that once stood behind them seems to be backing away from what they stand for. So what is it that you feel Tomi? Or should I just watch another three minute video?

WHEN was it that you decided that this is what you wanted to do? When did you decide that instead of adding positive opinions and light to the republican party, you would spread hate and the most negative side of things that you could possibly find? Was it when you read all the positive responses you were getting from people? It’s kind of an interesting cycle, isn’t it? Negativity gains comments that are filled with positivity. Does it make you feel good, Tomi?

WHERE in your life were you when you realized that this is who you are? Has that happened yet, Tomi? Have you really decided that you want to be the woman who exudes negative energy through her teeth and out the speaker of my iPhone? Where were you, Tomi? Where are you now? Is this really you?

WHY. Why, Tomi? Why would you do this, of all things? You do debate well, I will give you that my dear. You could have been a lawyer defending someone or saving someone from something. You could have done so much instead of this. Why do you feel as though this is what you were meant to do? Why do you hate so much and so many people? Why are you the way you are? I suppose that’s an unfair question for me to ask, but then again you’re all about unfair questions, aren’t you?

So here’s to you, Tomi Lahren. Thank you for confirming what I already knew. There is hate behind beauty, there is still work that still needs to be done in this country, and that I am not a republican. Those are my final thoughts.

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.
