Dear Mr. President,

My father taught me that you can tell a lot about a person from shaking their hand. I can recall shaking your hand once a long time ago, and I remember that it did not impress me. It was limp and halfhearted, with no sincerity. I don't know if that comes from your lack of respect for women, or from your general persona. But I never forget a handshake, and yours did not leave a good first impression.

I have heard your name throughout my life, made fun of your orange skin and bad combover in jest, and generally gave you very little thought. But as I watched you rise into your new position of power, my feelings of disinterest morphed into distaste, and worse, fear. I am afraid of what awaits this country now that you are holding the highest office our country has to offer, considering you have absolutely no qualifications to maintain the job. I am afraid of your antiquated ideals and truly erroneous behavior. I do not trust you. Not one bit.

That being said, I hope you prove me wrong. I hope you do great things for this country, because I still have to live here. It is my genuine wish that you learn how the legal and political systems of this country work, and start fact checking before you open your mouth. I hope you begin to realize that the social media outlet of Twitter is not your personal diary, and we can all see the heinous, ridiculous ramblings that you post. I pray that you push misplaced pride aside and rise to the occasion. There are people who still love this country. There are people who honestly believe in you and your promises. Please do not let them down.

I do not believe that you are a man with integrity. I do not believe that your intentions are pure. And it was you, and the way in which you behave, that led me to these conclusions. It was not media, or a blind eye, or any type of prejudice. It was the words that came straight from your mouth. You continue to disappoint my already shockingly low expectations of you. But a strong man would strike out to show me, and everyone else who feels this way, that I am wrong. Be strong, Mr. Trump. Be decent. Be a leader.

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.

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.

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.
