What Is Happening To This Country?

What Is Happening To This Country?

With the election done, the country is now in chaos. You’d think the craziness would be over now, but it's honestly worse than ever. People are confused, sad, happy, angry and in disbelief. As for me, personally, I’m very upset.

Trump winning was a big heart break to me. For our country to vote for a man who has said so many derogatory things about women and different races has me mind boggled and ashamed to live in this country. And so many people who voted for him are saying they don’t agree with the things he’s done but still voted for him because he can do good. No, voting for him gives him the satisfaction and assurance that what he has done is okay when it’s not.

Parents are telling their kids that Trump is a good man and that he’s going to be great for our country but when my eight-year-old sister comes home crying because a little girl told her “I’ve seen your mom and Trump is going to send her away to Mexico” is not okay. My family is Hispanic but most of our heritage comes from Spain, not even Mexico. No child should have to be told that and be in fear that their parent(s) are going to be taken away. People need to stop brain washing their kids and let them be kids and grow up on their own and find out what they want to believe in on their own. I know plenty of my “friends” and even family who voted for Trump and I will never be able to look at them the same. I take this election so personal because I am a woman and I am a woman of minority and Trump has truly harassed us verbally and completely got away with it.

I will not stand for this, I will do and say as much as I can till I am heard.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
