Why I'm A Millennial That's Voting Trump
SB Nation

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.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
