It's 2020 And I Am A Proud Conservative, Here Are My Very Unpopular Opinions

Gage Skidmore / Flickr Creative Commons

All but one of my friends are liberals. I feel out of place. I feel scared to speak out for what I believe in. I am afraid of what my friends will say. I am hoping that, while you read this, you keep an open mind and allow me to have my own opinion. If you do not agree with something, that's OK! We all have our own thoughts.

There are my opinions. Let's begin.

1. I believe that abortion is murder.

If abortion was morally right, would it be OK to kill your child after birth? What's the difference? Abortion is murder. Plain and simple. Abortion is meant to end the life of a growing baby. I am not OK with it. Everyone deserves a chance at life.

"Well it's my body, so it's my choice"? No. There's a baby in there too.

2. I believe that life begins at conception.

As soon as the egg becomes fertilized, you have a seperate human. You have a precious little baby made by God. Life doesn't begin when the heart starts beating or when the brain is developed.

3. I believe that there are two genders.

This will get a lot of backlash, I know. God made man and woman. Adam and Eve. That is all there is to it.

4. I believe that all lives matter.

YES, I get why people are saying "Black lives matter." I really do. But in my opinion, all lives matter. Including people of color. Including unborn children. Including every single person on this planet. God made us in His own image, and no one should have to experience racism or hate.

5. I support President Trump.

He is pro-life and against abortion.

He is for a strong defense.

He is for Christianity.

He is for the police and first responders.

He is for the marriage between man and woman.

6. I believe that not all police are bad.

Just because there are a few bad apples, doesn't make them all bad. I know so many police officers who would lay down their life for someone in order to protect them.

Don't defund the police, DEFEND the police.

7. I believe that our right to bear arms should not be infringed upon.

The Second Amendment is in the Constitution to protect our right to own and carry firearms. That right should not be taken away.

Guns are never the problem, it's the people using the firearms that are.

After reading this, I hope we can still be friends and accept the fact that we have different beliefs. We can all be adults and get along.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

1. Why are towels considered dirty when you get out of the shower clean?

3. Why is there a "d" in "fridge" but not in "refrigerator"?

4. If you drop soap on the floor is the floor clean or the soap dirty?

5. Is the "S" or the "C" silent in the word "scent"?

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?

15. If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
