He's Our New President

Cry, Threaten to move, protest to Washington, but I'm sorry to tell you Donald is your president too, regardless of your vote.

He's Our New President

My friends and my family are very interesting. They love one another and group and band all together for everything and everything and make sure everyone is ok. I'm not sure if that's with all families or mostly Hispanic families that have that sense to their family, but I digress. I can only reflect the ignorance and childish comments that flood my Facebook page and continue to do so over the Presidential election. I understand the reasons trust me I do, but at the same time it doesn't give a good reason for the behavior I see coming from "adults".

Ever since election night, there has been a constant whine session about the outcome and Donald Trump becoming President of the United States and the outcry for him destroying America and his treatment towards woman and I could go on and on; however, this isn't the only thing that was the issue. What stirred from those posts were comments to mentioned posts that threatened and that threw away relationships with close friends and even family all because of this political outcome. Quite childish if you ask me and it's hard to come out of that looking at family and friends the same because they decide to block or unfriend anyone that voted Donald Trump. My brother's don't stop playing because people want to do things differently, so why are you accepted to do it while you're 20+ years older than they are? Accept your "loss" and move on. You have someone that you didn't want in office. Most likely you could be a part of the reason why he got his success. We can all admit that he ran his marketing well. He got himself out there and continued to stay relevant being the loud person we have come to know and vote for.

Donald Trump wasn't exactly my first pick, nor do I really care for him as a person; however, I'm not going to sit in a corner and cry about the choices my fellow Americans made. We all will have to see what is to come. He has yet to do anything, as he just became President this past Friday. Give him time prior to judging too much. My hope is that his campaign was a part of his marketing persona and that's it. I've said this before, but I want his acceptance speech to be the embodiment of his presidency and not the Trump we've been given in order to stay in the airwaves one news station at a time. He's our president. We Americans have to stand and watch now.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
