Sometimes I wanna take DT and throw him down to B2

A transparent persona anyone can see through

But we’re all just pawns to the big dogs right, what can we do?

Yo whoever he grabbed by the p should’ve tweeted “Me too”


But Trump just represents a problem, the guy ain’t the root

If you think things like racism or sexism started with him, I think that’s cute

I know there’s usually a lot of hate for the head honcho in a suit

Even from me, but if I said he created this mess, I wouldn’t be saying the truth


This has been going on for years, piling fears

Of people who aren’t from where we are, leaving trails of tears

Shunning those who live differently, no cheers if we’re drinking beers

And you just happen to identify as being queer


Or catcalling the opposite sex, which happens way more to girls

Half the world feeling uncomfortable around the other half of the world

Guys thinking dirty at midnight or like whoever’s next to 'em has a stack of pearls

Grabbing bags from who they can or yelling at people to give ‘em a twirl


Now I am not a saint, even though I don’t do things like this

If I thought just because I didn’t that I’m good, I’d be living ignorantly in bliss

If I thought just cause none of that happened to me, so it’s something I could dismiss

I guess I’d technically be okay helping only myself, but that ain’t the point of this


Now I’m not saying if you hear a stranger scream get ready to get into a fight

Although it’d be badass, it ain’t a bad thing to keep violence out of your sight

If you can, help someone know wrong from right

Cause some people just don’t know, and if everyone sees and no one says, they still might


They might do it again, they might try something worse

I’m not just talking about catcalling or stealing a purse

You can be the difference between a person ending up in a hospital or being the nurse

Or the difference between them driving a Bentley or rolling in the back of a hearse


Like school, where the work sucks but it’s a place full of dreamers

If you work at one or are the parent of a student, remember you're both teachers

I sound preachy but I sure as hell don’t want you to be a preacher

Just do your job the best you can and shape the future by improving its features


Help them learn, create the turn

Of a new leaf for the better

Make their minds churn, let the humility burn

Cause a hard working, educated individual

Is way better than an ignorant idiot on top with all the cheddar

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!
