What We Can Do To Make America Great.
love wins

This is a horrifyingly sad time for America. We have just elected a sexist, racist, anti-LGBTQ+ monster as our President. That man goes by the name of Donald Trump. And sadly, we now must live in fear: fear that he is going to do something extremely stupid, fear that he is going to treat others with the utter disrespect that he already has been, and fear that we are now more unsafe than ever. I am sad, I am shocked and I am not alone. I don't understand how this happened. I don't understand how people like him and support him, although I still respect my friends and family who do, I just strongly disagree. I don't understand. This is the new reality. I am sad. But there is something I do know. WE CAN STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE ARE STRONG. WE ARE UNITED. WE WILL WIN. LOVE WILL WIN. For the time being, until we can successfully impeach this monster from office, here are some things we as people with hearts and minds and love in us can do to "make america great." (because, I'm sorry, but your ideas are horrible, Mr.Trump). Love always wins. Love is great. LOVE TRUMPS HATE.

1. Spread love.

2. Treat everyone with respect.

3. Show kindness to those who you may disagree with.

4. Fight for EVERYONE to have basic human rights.

5. Stand up for women.

6. Stand up for men.

7. Stand up for our children.

8. Stand up for minorities.

9. Be supportive of those who are fearful in this sad time.

10. Talk to your children.

11. Tell them it is not okay to talk like he does.

12. Fight for peace.

13. Create art.

14. Spread good vibes.

15. See people for who they are.

16. Stand up for what you believe in.

17. Stand up for what is right.

18. Remember that love always will trump hate.

19. Be the best you that you can possibly be.

20. Encourage others not to put up with intolerance.

21. Don't lose who you are.

22. Don't let the sadness win.

23. Remember where you come from.

24. Do the right thing.

25. Be yourself.

26. Stay positive.

27. Be kind.

28. Never give up.

29. Never back down.

30. Never let hate win. Love always wins.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
