The Right, The Left And Those Effected In Between

Since this past election in 2016, I feel like America has been split up into three groups and I wanted to get your opinion on my viewpoint. The first group that America has is the traditional political machine . Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are the leaders of this group. This is the group that would say "I am here to make a change for America." When in hindsight , all they ever did was stick with the status quo that would fund their pockets and push their money pile higher and higher.

The second group in America are the "controlled anger group". In my opinion , these people are the ones who voted and feel vindicated by Trumps win. A lot of these people feel like government isn't the answer , but the problem . These people are also people who looked up to Ronald Reagan and needed to find someone who gave a feeling that they would "Make America Great Again." They resent the government helping people because they feel deep in their hearts that government is the problem and not the solution.

The third group that America is split up into is called the progressive party. This is a party that was born off of liberal ideals and wanted to actually make a difference for the working mans life and hope that he would be able to get enough money to send his kids to college without worrying about saving up or worrying about going into debt. Bernie Sanders was the leading force behind this movement and it made quite a big impact on the political spectrum. Some people believe that Hillary lost because of Bernie Sanders, which in my opinion is not completely accurate. The problem with Hillary Clinton is that she was not relatable to a lot of her voters and therefore , people who intended to vote for her turned out to vote for Bernie because he seemed more genuine about what he had to say.

Anyway, that is my opinion on America today and I was interested into wondering what your viewpoint was.

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.
