My letter to Donald Trump.

Okay Mr. President,

You obviously want to be the man. You want to be that dude. You want to be the guy that makes America great again; and I think I know exactly how you want to do it. Despite your egregious rhetoric and petty clap backs you really want to be the 5th man on Mount Rushmore.

We all know you are narcissistic which I believe is a quality given to you at birth, correct me if I’m wrong. Also due to your ‘birth-quality’ you are constantly criticized. To me you seem stubborn; a man who refuses to grow up and respect the feelings of others. You don't believe in filtering your language because to you, telling it like it is more effective than telling lies.

However, Mr. President, it is not what you say, it's how you say it and you need some training on the ‘how’ part. You have to remember your past comments and take ownership of them so you can stop victimizing yourself. Oh and you seem like an embellisher, a huge one, due to your yearn to be perceived as the best, but please correct me if i'm wrong; I don't want to tell you who you are. That just seems like you in a nutshell, and many other blunt people in this world. You are no different; you are a human and I see that.

But how do you want to make America great again? Well I've listened to your inaugural speech and I think I might have an idea. When I reviewed your speech, it seemed like a pessimistic description of America; tied with a bow of Tumptomisim, or Trump-optimism. You know, although this country is in bad shape you are here to fix it with your policies; which are business inspired I’m sure.

While reviewing your your speech I dug up the key points to how you want to make America great. Your speech was an unfiltered, cheeky, aerial view of the USA; meaning you’re not completely wrong but you ain't right. To shorten down and slightly clean up your 16 minute rant; once again correct me if I’m wrong, you plan to fix poverty by bringing back factories, you want to fix the education system, eliminate crimes, gangs and the ‘American Carnage.’ You want to strengthen our army and get rid of soldiers assisting our allies overseas and build a wall to protect our country from illegal immigrants.

You want to make America richer, you want to build up the middle class by eliminating and bringing back outsourced labor, you want to fix the roads, get Americans off welfare, bring back ‘Made in the USA’ tags, create allies, obliterate ISIL all while eliminating prejudice with patriotism. You want to have disagreements but stay in solidarity, no empty talk, space trips and uniting us by the same red blood we bleed and not separating us by our skin tones.

You want to put America first, almost like a foster mother who has taken care of foster children all her life and has now decided to eat right, purchase a new wardrobe and get her hair, nails and toes done before helping the kids with their homework.

Nice Rhetoric Mr. President. America really does needs some change, but I hope you realize there are consequences to putting yourself first all the time, and that being kind and helpful can benefit us in the long run. I have some tips for you, don’t shut everyone out Trump, stay quiet with your plans (i.e. Mexico pay for wall) and understand why politicians speak with a sly tongue. It might just help you get your job done. I am rooting for you, although I didn't vote for you.


Although I am rooting for you I am not a fool. It seems like, and correct me if I’m wrong, distractions are a key component to your game. While you had the news preoccupied with your voter fraud statements during the congressional meeting Monday morning, the very next day you signed an executive order for the the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline. The same oil pipeline Obama rejected weeks before.You also signed to limit the duration of the government’s environmental and public safety review for proposed industrial projects. Meaning the time to determine whether something is bad for the public and the environment will be limited. Should there be a time constraint on that? Isn’t our safety more important than getting the job done? What scares me about this situation is what the you said after the signing.According to Press Reader, you said “we’re going to make it a very short process, and we’re going to either give you your permits or we're not going to give you your permits… and generally speaking, we are going to be giving you your permits.” WHAT? So you’re saying the process will be quicker, but the government will still be weighing out the environmental and health factors, but you guys will ultimately hand out permits? Sounds like a self-serving money making tactic masked as a pro-job initiative to me, but what do I know I just look at the facts. Mr. President I am scared of you.

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
