I'm With Them

Donald, you are not my president.

I'm With Them

A few weeks ago I wrote an article titled Regretfully, He Is My President. I wrote about how I will respect Donald Trump as my president no matter how much I dislike him.

Well, I was wrong.

Trump has really, how do you say, goofed up. He's doing a really bad job, like really bad. I refuse to stand with this man for the next four years, because America thought a woman would make too many emotional decisions that would affect our country negatively. Good call you guys. Now we have a president who tweeted at Nordstrom because they stopped carrying his daughter's clothing line, yet is coming up with plans that will extend the time period of the water pipes in Flint, Michigan getting replaced. You know, because they don't have clean water. Everyday, it seems that I'm more and more disappointed in my so-called president. I tried, I really did; I cannot support a man like this. Mr. Trump, I am not with you.

I am with the people that marched on January 21st for the Women's March, the day after the inauguration.

I am with the immigration lawyers who stood at the airport for hours helping Muslims come into the country while you tried to ban them.

I am with Elizabeth Warren who was silenced at a Senate meeting while she read a letter from Loretta Scott King, the late widow of Martin Luther King Jr. It was a letter regarding the nomination of Jeff Sessions, which then proceeded to go live on Facebook to read the letter and said, "they can shut me up, but they can't change the truth."

I am with every member of the senate who voted against Betsy Devos.

I am with Bernie Sanders, who continuously fights against the backwards movement of our country, reminding the young people of America that we have a voice that they are trying to silence.

I am with everyone who still speaks out against the progression of our country moving backwards.

Be with us.

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
