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?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
