Please Stop Trying To Protest The Outcome Of The Election
wikimedia.org

Alright, I think that the election hype has died down enough for me to write this article. Donald J. Trump is our president. Let me say that again, Donald J. Trump is the next President of the United States. If that still resonates with you as a negative sentence, please listen to it until it doesn't effect you. See, Donald Trump is not going to be that bad.

Now, this isn't me supporting Donald Trump. I do not like the man whatsoever. I did not vote in this election because I could not support either candidate, so all the Hillary supporters can be just as upset at me right now. Basically, my mindset was that our country was going to be worse off no matter who was elected because Obama is the homie.

Regardless, Donald Trump is the President-Elect. He has been elected President of the United States by the people of America. Not many people are pleased about this, but I am sure that almost the same number of people, if not more are pleased about the results. I mean, a majority of the American people elected him president. Just because they aren't on social media doesn't mean that they don't exist.

To this point of this article: the people who are complaining and protesting about Donald Trump being elected need to stop.

I have already stated that I am not a Trump fan. Not by a long shot. I think Donald Trump is a sexist, a bigot, and egomaniac, and a selfish bastard. I do not want him running our country, but he is. Regardless of my desires, he is running the country, and there is nothing I can do about that.

Your blacked out twitters will not change this fact. Although I respect that fact that you do not want Donald Trump as president and you will inconvenience your own lives to illustrate this point, you are not going to change this. Although I will always support the fact for you to protest Donald Trump, you will not be able to change the outcome the election. Additionally, wearing a safety pin will not change the election. You will get your point across loud and clear which is absolutely respectable, but you will not change the outcome of the election.

Our country is a democracy for a reason. We voted for the president, and we need to deal with the outcome. This doesn't mean we need to like it, and this doesn't mean you can't protest the atrocity of a president Donald Trump will make, but this does mean you cannot protest the outcome of the election. I hate to be that guy, but if you are going to complain about the outcome of the election and ask for it to be changed for the next four years, please leave this country. We elected Donald Trump, whether you like it or not, and you cannot change that fact.

That is all I have to say on the matter. I am not happy that Donald Trump has been elected president, by any means. However, I respect the system and I understand that there is nothing we can do to change this, nor should we. Our country is the greatest in the world for our freedom, and this is an inherent principle of this freedom. Protest Trump's idiocy all you wish, but please shut up about trying to change the election. Thank you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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!
