Dear Humanity,

We are about to enter the uncharted territory of President Donald Trump. It's a scary thought. I know. It's terrifying to think that a man who has said so many horrible things about people, both specific people and targeted groups, and who has no experience in politics, is going to be the person running our country. I know that a lot of people are scared of what Trump might do as President in regards to policy changes. I want you to know that it is going to be okay. We are going to be okay.

Yes, Trump has said a lot of racist, misogynistic, xenophobic things. He has offended numerous people and probably will continue to offend us as people throughout his presidency. And we should be offended. We should be offended by the things he says, and we should want to fight it. Instead of hiding from Trump's words, we should allow them to fuel the fire and the passion to fight back. We are the ones that are going to make a difference. He is just one man, and together, we are stronger than he will ever be.

Four years. We will have President Donald Trump for four years. A lot can happen in four years. He can change a lot in four years, but so can we. I know a lot of people are scared of these next four years. And that's okay. I want you to know that there are people here who are here for you. We have your back, and we will always stand up for you. We will not stand down from our beliefs, despite what Trump says or does as President. We can do this. We will stand up. We will fight. And we will get through this. As Trump's presidency approaches, please know that I love you. You are an amazing and wonderful human, and you can do anything. Remember that for the next four years, and forever.

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.
