A Thank You Note, for Donald Trump

He's changed my life in so many ways.

Jan 17, 2017

With just a few short days until the inauguration of the 45th, I figured that leaving a thank you note for the President to be, was a good idea. I mean, he's done so much for me, it would be wrong not to, right?

So, thank you President-elect Donald Trump. You've done so much for my life, and you don't even know it. I'm gonna lay out everything you've done for me in the next few short paragraphs!

You've caused me to purge my friends list on Facebook, as well as my friend group in real life. You've caused me to have more pride in my race and who I am than ever before in my life. You've caused me, and probably lots of other people, to see the racism that we've been taught doesn't exist, for so long.

You made me get educated on politics, #BlackLivesMatter, and black history more than ever before. You made me look further into the motives behind what people say, and how they act. You made me speculate and inquire about the philosophy of race, and skin color, and partially devote my time in college, to learning about ethics.

You showed me what people really don't give a crap about what happens to me, or people like me. You showed me that even though "conservatives" (if we can even call you one at that), claim they care about human life, they still plan to defund Planned Parenthood due to the small percentage of the organization that is devoted to providing abortions. You showed me that providing health care for women, contraceptives, STD testing, and a load of other crucial healthcare procedures aren't important to you.

So, thank you, Donald Trump. You've shown me so much and changed my life.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
