Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words?

Trump already showed us who he is

On November 9thTrump was announced to be the next President of the United States of America. A lot of U.S. citizens were devastated at the shocking results because they thought Trump was certain to lose the election. I remember I stayed up till about 1:30 AM and fell asleep, but I kept waking up to see if they had the final results of the election. Finally at 3:00 AM, I woke up for a fifth time and saw that he won. I had no energy for a reaction because I was too tired to even continue watching. I see some people are giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, and on Saturday Night Live, Dave Chappell hosted and said he was willing to give Trump a chance.

I would really like to give Trump a chance. Really, I would like to, but it’s very difficult to try and look over the things he has said during the Presidential race. Racist comments, making fun of a disabled man, grabbing women by the…. It’s hard to see past that. I’ve heard some say that they agree his words have been harsh, but they will wait and see what he does during his presidency. I’ve heard many times before if someone shows you who they are, believe them. Trump is now electing representatives to work besides him, but they are white supremacist. It’s not looking too good so far. People who are for Trump really have no clue about what this country is about in today’s society. The fact that people from different countries moved here and worked hard to make a living, helped build this country to what it is.

For the evangelicals that voted for him because they believe so much in what he stands for, I personally believe is selfish. Without a second thought of the well being of Muslims, without a second thought of the well being of Mexicans, without the thought of the well being of Blacks. Did you think that they deserve a chance of fairness in this country? A chance to live, and a chance to survive? What happened to love one another as you love yourselves? I think Trump will show us his actions, and it will match his words.

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.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
