Stop Being So Hateful About The Election

"He won, get over it," isn't helping either.

Never in a million years did I think one election could make America as divided as it is right now. Never did I think there would be such an outpouring of hate because you support a certain candidate. Never did I think we all could be stoop low.

I will admit, I didn't want Trump to win. I believed he had no chance at winning, and was completely unfit to run our country. On the other side of the spectrum, I know many people who thought the same way about Hillary Clinton.

No matter what the outcome of this election was going to be, no one was going to be happy. Since we live in a world that revolves around social media, we all know someone who is unhappy. The hateful, arrogant, and down right rude things I've seen on the internet since Nov. 8 have truly shocked me.

Anyone who voted for Trump is a rapist and now all of America is going to grab women by the p**sy because that's who we elected. F**k all the hillbillies who voted Trump in, you're all uneducated. Idiots everywhere, if you voted Trump go kill yourself.

Really guys? This is what you feel you need to say online?

What is that going to accomplish?? I get you're upset he won, I am too, but it happened, he's president. Stereotyping people on Facebook or Twitter and making them feel like trash isn't going to fix anything. Does it make you feel better? Do you think you're making Hillary proud?

Trump supporters: stop engaging with them! Does posting a hateful comment on their social media rant really make you any better than them? You're doing the same thing as them. Ignore it and keep scrolling, your comment will do nothing to help the situation.

Also, the term millennial doesn't just mean "stupid teenagers" as most people think. A millennial can be up to 34 years old. It's someone born from 1982 through the 2000's. So you can quit blaming everyone under 25 for the worlds problems now, thanks.

No one is happy in this election, we get it. Your Facebook rants about Trump being a racist and how Hillary needs to be in jail aren't going to do anything but make people angry. For once can we act like a civilized nation?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
