Stop Telling Me That I'm An Entitled Millennial

You couldn't be more incorrect.

After the election this week, I have faced an incredible amount of stress and an even larger amount of fear for the future of this country and most importantly, the people I love that Donald Trump and his followers plan to target.

No, this does not make me entitled. The idea that I'm considered entitled for not agreeing with the fact that our president-elect is an instigator of sexual assault, a racist and has absolutely no political background, is ridiculous. Suddenly, I have less faith in our country as a whole. I realize that Donald Trump has done exactly what he was aiming to do from the beginning; he has torn apart a country that has always managed to come together as a whole.

I am not entitled for disagreeing with the idea of the electoral college. I am not entitled for realizing that our president should be chosen by the people. This is not a child's game and it shouldn't be treated as such. It should not be a race to a certain number, but a majority vote. The majority of people did not choose Trump, 290 people chose Trump based on the fact that millions of other people told them what to do, even if those millions weren't a majority.

I am not entitled for supporting the idea of public protest. In fact, many of those opposing public protest have supported it previously and would easily support it if it meant helping something they believed in. This government is supposed to be heavily based on what the people want and if it goes otherwise, we must let them know.

I am not entitled because I'm offended by a man who has admitted to sexually assaulting women and encouraging others to do the same. I urge you to think of how you might react if your daughter, sister, or friend was sexually assaulted but it was okay because "that's what men do." Let me explain something to you in the only way I know how; men do not do that. Pigs do that. Sexual offenders do that. People who can't get anyone to have sex with them otherwise do that. Don't feed me the crap about it being "locker room talk" because, if you haven't noticed, he was not in a locker room, he was being interviewed. Wake up America.

I am not entitled because I don't agree with your racist, insecure, uninformed, bigot of a president elect. I am not entitled because I know this election was a load of crap. I am not entitled because I know our country can do way better. I am not entitled because the generations before us have destroyed our country and we want something better than that.

So to everyone saying that we "entitled millennials" are destroying this country because we know we deserve more than the pig that is the president elect, take a step back and realize that you have aided in the destruction of our country and where it is now.

America used to be great. Not because of the racism problems or the low gas prices or the general safety, but because people used to step up to the plate and deal with problems. People used to focus on the well-being of the coming generations. People used to be able to walk down the street without knowing they could be assaulted because the president elect encourages it. People came together as a whole, regardless of race, religion and sexual orientation. Trump will not bring that back. He will destroy all of that.

And that is how I know Trump will not make America great again.

Trump grabbed America by the pussy and infiltrated all protection we had.

And if you support that because you think he's dishing out what everyone deserves, maybe you're the entitled one.

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!

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).
