When I found out that Donald Trump was elected president my heart dropped. I now feel that the majority of America thinks it's okay for a man to sexually assault a women multiple times and make degrading comments towards women.

His actions are going to teach the young women of the world that if they're assaulted, it's not going to matter that a man can still continue his life fine. No wonder why so many rape and sexual assault victims don't speak out about the terrible occurrences.

Trump normalizes these behaviors on a large scale. People didn't vote for Hillary because her email situation left a mistrust with many of the American people. How did America go from having the first African American president for 8 years to having a racist president?

I fear for the people of America. I fear for the minorities of America and how he will treat them. The bullying has already increased and studies show that hate crimes will rise under a Trump presidency. He makes it seem like bullying minorities or anyone is okay; he used fear to win this election. He is going to ruin the global economy in the next year.

I am a Canadian and I will still be affected by Donald Trump being elected President in America.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
