A Open Letter To America

A big change is coming on Tuesday. Are you ready, America?

A Open Letter To America

Dear America,

You are so beautiful, you know that? Look how far you have come since you split from Britain. They were messy moments and amazing moments alike. However, I am worried for you. You may get sick again.

This upcoming Tuesday is the election. This election is not like the ones before. Some people worry that our progression is going to go backward. Others worry about the corruption about our country. Some people just waste their time hating people.

I feel this election has been nothing but hate towards one another. There have been lies, hate, and ridiculous comments from this election. It is disgusting.

There are also other problems like the North Dakota pipeline, racism, and did I mention hate? It may seem like I am beating a dead horse, but these problems are not going away. Or worse, some people are pretending that the problems do not exist.

America, I worry for your future. I wonder what the founders would have to say about this election. I wonder what my ancestors would have to say about this election. I wonder, I wonder.

I will vote this Tuesday, and honestly, I cannot wait for this election to be over. I'm sure you cannot wait either. Whatever happens, I will not give up the fight for you. My actions and words may seem like the opposite to some people, but I will not give up for what I think is right.

You have come so far, America, but there is still a lot more work to be done.

Love,

A conerned citizen

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
