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
TIME

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
