A Letter To The Trump Protestors

WARNING This might make you angry

Dear Protestors,

Difference of opinions are okay, but they're not okay when you disrespect Our President, Donald Trump. I can understand if you don't like him but he is Our President now, and there is absolutely nothing you can do; unless you want to protest for the next four years. Considering that I was raised by respectful parents, I was always told that if I didn't like the person in office that was merely okay, BUT I did have to respect him/her because they were now The President. Saying #notmypresident is extremely disrespectful to Mr. Trump. He is now your President, my President, your neighbors President, and everyone in the United States' President. At the end of the day, President Donald Trump is in office and is now controlling our country. And I'm not sorry about it, or my opinion.

I can understand why you don't like him, but there is a time and place to talk about Trump. If you don't like him, good for you, but I'd rather not hear you complain about his actions for the next 4 years. I would rather you talk to your like-minded friends, and leave me out of it. Unless of course, you need me to pick up some cheese to go with your whine. I will do the same for you as well. If you do like Trump, great! You must be very happy, but just as I said to those who do not like Trump, keep your complaining or excitement to yourself, or speak about it to others who care enough. I am not saying that I don't care about what happens to our country, but I don't care to hear about your opinions about Our President.

I know that Trump being President is a shock to those who didn't vote for him, but it is time to accept that he is the leader of this country, and I don't think he'll be going away anytime soon.

Lastly, I can not express enough how much I do love the United States of America, but I can not express how angry it makes me when I hear people disrespecting a man who runs our country. And I know that you're probably sitting down and saying, "Why should I respect a man who doesn't seem to respect women?" Well, I never said I agreed with everything that he says, but I will continue to respect the fact that he is President, and so should you.

Sincerely,

Someone who respects Our President.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

No matter how old you are.

1. Build a snowman

2. Start a snowball fight

3. Build a fort

4. Binge-watch Netflix

4. Look out the window

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.
