Can We Please Give Donald Trump A Chance?
Pbs

Current U.S. President Barack Obama and Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton have urged their supporters to give President-Elect Donald Trump a chance. However, this urge has not been met kindly. There have been countless protests, riots, hate speeches, name calling, etc., ever since America found out early morning on Wednesday, November 9th, Donald J. Trump won the president election in a very close race with opponent, Hillary Clinton. Mr. Trump received 290 electoral college votes, while Mrs. Clinton received 228 electoral college votes. Clinton supporters, many of whom were celebrities, were outraged that Trump won. Pop music singer Lady Gaga protested outside of Trump tower on Wednesday morning after hearing the news. Other celebrities like Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus, Chelsea Handler (to name a few, there have been countless others) have threatened to move out of the U.S. if Trump won the election.

Seriously? I know Donald Trump is not the most glamorous candidate and that he has made a lot of bad comments. However, this is the man who will be leading our country starting in January of 2017. He has NOT even set foot into the oval office and people are BURNING the American Flag, rioting in cities such as New York, Oakland, Washington D.C. and more. This is ridiculous. Yes I know that there are people who cannot stand Trump. Burning the flag, rioting to the point that police officers have to use tear gas, is out of hand. Trump has made some comments that have upset women, members of the LGBTQ community, people of different races and more. But we are in a difficult spot in the lifespan of our country. We are $18 trillion in debt, have a threat of extreme Islamic terrorist group ISIS coming to destroy our cities, millions living in poverty, a health care system that isn't the best that our country could have in terms of getting health care to everyone, homeless veterans, and many more. Hillary Clinton would of had to face those same issues, and I hope that she would of solved most, if not all of them to restore our country back to greatness, and I sincerely hope President elect Donald Trump does everything in his power to solve those issues and prove that his presidency was not a mistake.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
