Responses To The Election
ABC News

Following the election on November 8, I have made it my job to watch people’s responses, physical and verbal, to Donald Trump winning the election. While, many expected people to have rejections and some choice words to say, physically I had no idea what to expect. This was my first year to vote, along with many of my peers and this has prepared us for the elections to come.

Scrolling through my feed on Facebook, I took note of many of the comments going along with the election. They were all similar, but some of them stuck out to me. They were as follows:

  1. This whole thing has been a shit show.
  2. I didn’t vote because I hate them both.
  3. I’m moving to Canada.
  4. #NotMyPresident
  5. I started a countdown to the next election. *insert time*
  6. If you thought I was an angry feminist before, I hope you are ready for the next four years.
  7. if you didn't vote, your opinion is completely irrelevant.
  8. I have never been so disgusted with my country in my life.
  9. I’m not okay with the results, but I have hope that some good will come from the Trump presidency.
  10. I miss President Obama already.
  11. Can I take a nap for four years?
  12. Tired of seeing Trump's stupid orange face and the stupid things that come out of his mouth and tired of seeing Hillary's stupid lying face.

I even had a friend in Canada offer to let me come stay with her.

Physically, people’s reactions have been both good and bad. Foreign dignitaries have reached out to show their support, while our nations people have responded in many ways. Ranging anywhere from peaceful protests to violently attacking people. Here are a few of the events that have occurred so far:

  1. Protestors set objects in the streets of Oakland on fire.
  2. Protests are held in Berkeley, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles California, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Portland and Eugene Oregon, New York, New York, Washington D.C., on UCLA campus, etc.
  3. An Anti-Trump March is held in Seattle, Washington.
  4. The Canadian immigration website crashes.
  5. Flag burnings are held across the country.
  6. The Prime Minister of Israel releases congratulations on President Trump winning the election.
  7. People have been pulled out of their cars and brutally beaten based off people believing they voted for Trump.
All of these things have happened in just a number of days, so hopefully the streak does not continue in the time to come.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
