An Open Letter to the Four Chicago Kidnappers

You utterly repulse me.

An Open Letter to the Four Chicago Kidnappers
Daily Wire

To the four teens who kidnapped a teen with a mental disability in Chicago on Jan. 4, you utterly disgust me. I can’t find the words to express how completely repulsed with you. There must be something seriously wrong with someone to allow them to physically and emotionally abuse someone who can’t fight back. When I found out, I was speechless. There must be some serious hatred in your heart to make you ever do that to someone. It was not a stupid mistake, as Chicago Commander Kevin Duffin calls it. It was a hate crime, and you should be held to your actions 100 percent.

He was mentally disabled.

If you can sleep with yourselves at night, then you must be way sicker than many. You tortured, cut, screamed at and isolated an innocent teen with a mental disability. You made him feel worthless and terrified for his life. He was humiliated and tortured for the whole world to see.

For the WHOLE WORLD to see.

You went on Facebook live and recorded yourselves doing something so heinous. It went viral. Sending a message? Maybe, but I think you’re just that stupid. First of all, you’re displaying that pain to the world of this poor teen and humiliating him and his family. Secondly, you are essentially turning yourselves in. Anything you put on Facebook can be traced to you by the cops, which is how they found you guys so that you can rot in prison.

Not only have you ruined your own reputation, but you’re adding to the black stereotype.

A race doesn’t make someone bad. White people aren’t bad, Middle Eastern people aren’t bad and black people aren’t bad. It is a single person’s actions that create how that single person is as a human. But racism is still alive and by targeting a white man with disabilities and screaming “f*** white people,” this causes those racist people’s thoughts and feelings against a certain race to be reinforced. It makes black people look bad and take some of the white population’s thoughts and feelings travel back to the 60s.

This is horrible and was beneficial to no one. It didn’t send a message. No one will get on board. Violence solves nothing. Black Lives Matter will not support you. Anti-Trump supporters will not support you. I'm glad you were denied bail and, you should stay in prison for a very long time.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
