Opinion: 2016 Presidential Election
Wall Street Journal

This week is one of the, if not the, biggest week in the past four years. On Tuesday, November 8th, people from all over the nation will flock to their designated voting booths if they have not already voted (like me!). As we look towards the future and what we want this nation to be about, this election will be the basis for just that. After all the controversies, nasty comments and plain stupidity, I just want to be safe in my country that I love for the next four to eight years. We live in a scary time with weapons, insane people and pretty unpredictable events. I do believe that there is a candidate that will protect the American people and make those unpredictable events, predictable. I understand that every person in this country thinks their opinion is the right one and no one could tell them differently. This irks me because how can their opinion be the right one? There is no right or wrong when it comes to opinion because it is just that, an opinion. There may be facts (I use the word fact lightly) behind your opinion but it doesn't mean it is right.

If we look at facts versus opinion, that will tell a whole different story. Many people don't have facts backing their opinion. A lot of the time they are just saying what they believe without even researching what is behind their words. This is frustrating to me because I have done so much research about my opinions and I stand firm in them. When someone challenges my opinion I am more than prepared to present them with facts that have formed my opinion. My opinion is a controversial one to about half the nation, the other half basically has my same opinion and a small portion of the United States doesn't have either opinion.

On November 9th, I hope to wake up to the news that Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States. This will take a weight off of my shoulders as well as millions of Americans. I will not have to worry about my safety. I will worry less about the economy. I will not have to worry about my second amendment being taken away from me. I will be content knowing that for at least the next four years I will not have to worry about the things I would worry about if Hillary Clinton was elected President of the United Stats of America come November 8th.

Do your research and go vote on November 8th!

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.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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!
