Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is not afraid to say what he thinks. He has big plans for the country and there are a ton of people ready to support him. This past week, Trump officially accepted the Republican nomination.

In his closing speech Thursday, Trump said "I am the law and order candidate." His speech was about justice and what is deserved. His whole speech was about justice and equality. He said he will work to insure that all of our kids are treated and protected equally. While the media wants to focus on racism and the divide between cultures, Trump used his speech to focus on closing the gap and making sure everyone is treated equally with the same opportunities. For those of you who say he is against homosexuals, he even made sure he gave a full spill on how he will do everything in his power to continue to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community.

And of course, to finish up his speech he threw in one of his favorite topics: ISIS. He plans on working with Israel to eliminate the massive threat we are facing as Americans. He plans on suspending immigration from any country that has been compromised. There are many people against this idea, but personally, I believe this is a great idea. Trump said "I only want to let people into our country who will support our values and love our people." I completely agree with this. Immigration is not the problem. The problem is the immigration system that is in place. There are terrorists slipping in the cracks and endangering the lives of millions of people in the United States.

His slogan is "Make America Great Again." To me, this means make America strong. Make America the country that, historically, other countries did not want to mess with. It means make America the country where someone dreams of coming to make a life for themselves. America was not built on the idea that we are entitled to sit on our butts all day and live off of handouts. America was founded on the idea of hard work. Hard work that earns you a living to support your family.

The idea of hard work no longer exists. You work all week just to have half of your paycheck go to taxes. What happens to the taxes? They are used to give money to those who are too lazy to work for their own money. NOTE: I am not saying government programs are all bad. The idea they represent is great. I am saying they are extremely misused. It has come to a point where many people abuse the system so they do not have to work. There are also situations where the programs make it hard for someone to break free. I am simply trying to make a point that if you are not trying, you do not deserve any government assistance.)

So, love him or hate him, Donald Trump knows what he is talking about. He knows business, economy, and politics. He is not a politician. He is not afraid to speak his mind. He may offend you, but you know what he is saying is the truth (or at least what he believes is the truth). You do not have to attempt to read between the lines and try to decipher the hidden meanings.

Yes, I am a millennial. Yes, I am voting Trump.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
