I Want A Woman President, But Not This Woman.

The woman I imagined in the White House represented the best qualities in America, not the worst.

I Want A Woman President, But Not This Woman.

I know the election is a little bit of a sensitive subject, so before I start just a quick disclaimer! This is only my opinion, and if you don't agree with me that's fine. Just because we may have different opinions doesn't mean we can't be friends!

Like most millennials this is my first presidential election to vote in, and like most millennials I'm more then a little disappointed at how it's turned out. Over a year ago this election started out with hope and excitement, and now it's turned into doom and gloom. The idea of there being a female president is exciting and it's amazing to see how far women have come. However, I don't want Hillary Clinton to be that president. I'm sure some people think it's odd that I'm not voting for Clinton, because she is a woman and I'm a woman. After all that's the main reason people assume I would vote for her, but just because we are the same gender doesn't mean I can over look the things she has done.

When I was a little girl I thought about the first female president. Like most little girls I was looking forward to the day we could see a woman in the White House. The woman I imagined in the White House represented the best qualities of America. I did not imagine someone that in my opinion represents the worst qualities of America like corruption, lying, greed, and divisiveness. I definitely never imagined a female president that has been under not only one but two FBI investigations. Even if Hillary Clinton was to be elected there's a possibility she would be indited, and I am really not okay with a Tim Kaine presidency. Hillary Clinton lies nearly every time she opens her mouth, and when she gets caught she lies about lying. In case you want specific examples, here is a list of some of her greatest hits:

-Saying she was dead broke when she left the White House

-Denying her support for the Trans Pacific Partnership

-Claiming she "never received nor sent any material marked classified" on her private email server while she was Secretary of State

-Publicly blaming a you tube video for Benghazi

-Telling the FBI she turned over everything related to her emails

-Saying she never had her aides delete and wipe devices

-Claiming she was under sniper fire in Bosnia in 2008

Not only does she have a long laundry list of lies, but she has an impressive list of mysterious deaths related to her. Obviously none of these can be proven. However, if you want to get chills down your spine google these names and read the stories. Here's a list of 34 people who were linked to the Clinton's and mysteriously died:

Shawn Lucas, Victor Thorn, Joe Montano, Seth Rich, John Ashe, Gareth Williams, Charles Ruff, Carlos Ghigliotti, Charles Wilbourne Miller, Daniel Dutko, Lt. Gen. David J. McCloud, Johnny Lawhorn Jr., James McDougal, Eric Butera, Ron Miller, Mary Caitrin Mahoney, John Hillyer, Barbara Wise, Ron Brown, Charles Meissner, Stanley Huggins, Bill Shelton, Kathy Ferguson, James Bunch, Gandy Baugh, Ed Willey, Jerry Luther Parks, Dr. Stanley Heard, Jon Parnell Walker, Vince Foster, Jim Wilhite, C. Victor Raiser II, Montgomery Raiser, Susan Coleman

America has been waiting for a while to have a woman president, and this is the best we could do?

Now as I said in the beginning if you are a Clinton supporter that's fine by me, but I am tired of having to defend why I'm not a Clinton supporter. Your vote, your choice. However, the first time I vote for a woman for president it is going to be because they are the right candidate for the job, and that's my choice.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
