Where Did America GO?

What is America

How is it going, universe? My name is Brianna, it is very nice to meet you. I'm here to talk about what is right and what is wrong with the world today, right now. Especially in our beloved country that is known as the United States of America. Well, so far we elected some bigoted person who thinks he knows everything but doesn't know anything. Maybe something about money, but not about running a country. But, we should just give him a chance, right? Well, sure, why not since we've already elected him president. We can't let him divide us just because of our different views and the color of our skin. We can't let him do that, no. We must stand together and go against together. We all maybe different colors and have different social views, but we can't keep going against each other. That is what's wrong with society today. There is always a race between everyone. I may be white, but I'm not racist. Just because I'm white doesn't mean I'm racist. Just because you may be Mexican or African-American doesn't make you ghetto or an immigrant. Our country was founded by immigrants, and we took land from the Native Americans. Well, not us, but our ancestors did.

We were all divided back then because of segregation and America having a race problem. America still has a race problem, and most people are thinking that there isn't. Well, Betsy and Randall, there is a race problem. There are many other problems as well, but I will mention them later. There is a race problem with Muslim women getting their hijabs ripped off their head just because they are the wrong religion. Hm, odd, does that sound related to the race problem? Yes, it is related to the race problem. They aren't the wrong religion. They live in America, a nation that is suppose to be free to pray to whomever your religion prays to, a nation that isn't suppose to take rights away from people, and a nation that is suppose to give equal opportunity to everyone who comes to live here. But, everyone thinks Christianity is America's main religion. It isn't, hun. America doesn't have a set religion. Nor do we have a set race. America is filled with so much culture and diversity, and no one wants to praise it and get along.

This Isn't America, this Isn't America at all. What is America anymore?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
