Dear people of these great United States of America,


I assume by the time you are reading this, you have voted for president. November 8th is the day we are allowed to use one of our many rights to pick the Commander-in-Chief. Now, you have voted and the announcement has been made. You respective candidate may have won the election or may have given their closing speech at some early hour of November 9th.

November 9th. It is the day most of us have been waiting for. November 9th is the day we must live with the elected president for the next four years. We are stuck. The people have spoken. So I have a few words of wisdom for you:

You are no longer allowed to start pointless Facebook fights about anything pertaining to a presidential election. It is over.

There is a list of things you are no longer allowed to post on social media. Thankfully for you, I have compiled them into a list for you.

Here they are:

-Hillary Clinton's e-mail investigation.
-Donald Trump's tax returns and not paying taxes.
-Bill Clinton's sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky (UNLESS NOT DIRECTED AT HILLARY CLINTON'S QUALIFICATIONS FOR PRESIDENCY)
-Donald Trump being "friends" with Vladimir Putin
-Benghazi
-Rosie O'Donnell and Miss Universe
-Trump supporting or not supporting the war in Iraq.
-Melania Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention
-Hillary Clinton being hired to do her job as a lawyer and defending a rapist.
-Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's relationship with the election cycle.
-Gary Johnson having no clue about Aleppo
-How John Kasich should have given his support of Donald Trump
-Obamacare (At this point, the new President will decide its fate)
-Donald Trump claims of indicting Hillary Clinton
-Jill Stein's actions at the Dakota Pipeline Protest
-Melania Trump's nude photoshoot
-Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. looking like crooks
-Tiffany Trump's absence from the national limelight
-Ted Cruz
-Sarah Palin.. Please just don't fuel her career of writing things on Facebook
-Gun control


I am aware that you feel that I am a big, bad meanie for telling you to get over the election. However, it is time to move on with our lives. You had the last year-and-a-half to get all of your feelings out on social media. You are no longer allowed to pick a fight with your extremely liberal friends or your cousin Jack who lives in the backwoods on Twitter or Facebook.

I am sorry to tell you this but we must now respect our new President, whether it is Hillary or Donald, they are who the country chose.

You can now keep all of your opinions in the "political opinion" bin in your mind until 2020.

Until then, sit back and enjoy the ride. The next four years will be very interesting.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
