A thank you letter to Donald Trump.

Dear Mr President,

We have finally surpassed your first 100 days and all I have to say is wow. But, before we get into that, I just wanted to say thank you. Honestly, I mean it, thank you so much. Because of you and your candidacy, I got involved in my very first election. Before you, Mr Trump, I hated politics and I stayed as far away as I could from them. But because of you, I learned so much from just your candidacy alone. Before your candidacy I didn't understand feminism and the movement behind it. I, like many others, believed it was this aggressive man-hating group of women who wanted to rise above men but because of you I now identify as a feminist. Because of you, I now know that feminism isn't a men oppressing way of life, but an equality driven movement to fight for what is right, and frankly what should've been done a while ago.

Before your candidacy, I didn't realize how important planned parenthood was. I thought it was just this building where women were able to terminate pregnancies and that was it. But, because of you and your blatant disregard and lack of morals, I now stand with planned parenthood.So thank you Mr Trump because unlike you, I'm aware that planned parenthood is a place where most women receive general health care and I don't believe in taking someone's health care away, but I guess we have two different understandings of the term “pro-life.” Thank you Mr. Trump for always being yourself. You don't ever hide who you truly are and that is a very beautiful thing. You see without that, the world would never be able to see your tasteless mocking of a disabled reporter, or hear you sexually harass a female reporter and your own daughter. But because of you, I and so many other women are finally grabbing back.

We are now a ripe 4 months into your presidency and I really do have to applaud you. I mean within your first 100 days, you've sent almost an entire country into a complete uproar. Whether it's your complete lack of foreign policy or your rather nerve-wracking investigation with Russia, the American people aren't having any of it. I also want to take the time to thank you for always sticking to your word, really I do. Remember a few years ago when you tweeted about your hatred for executive orders but then signed 32 of them in your first 100 days? Thanks for sticking to your word!

Thank you Mr. Trump for making me realize that my voice does matter and that I need to use it. Thank you for making me realize we as a country still have so much to fix and that experience for a job doesn't really matter. Thank you for making me realize all that I take for granted and all that I have to fight for. And most of all Mr. President, thank you for igniting a fire in me that nobody, including you, can ever put out.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
