I can only imagine the trials you face daily.

Wow, It Must Be So Hard To Be A White Conservative Christian
Red Alert Politics

I come from a small town, where the vast majority of people are white, conservative, and Christian. These people all hold the same ideals, and it's no surprise to me when I get on Facebook and see them sharing a particular type of article. These articles are written by young adults my age and are typically written on Odyssey or another similar website. These articles all have the same theme: how hard it is to be a white, conservative Christian.

I can only imagine how hard it must be to be you. I mean really, you must face some serious trials and tribulations. It must be so hard to be a member of the most predominant race in America. And I'm sure that it's a struggle to be a conservative when a conservative Republican is running the country. And let's not forget how hard it is to be Christian! I can only imagine what terrible trials and tribulations you face as a practitioner of the world's most predominant religion! It must be just awful. I can only imagine the oppression you face daily.

I can only imagine what it's like to walk down the street, stricken with absolute fear that you might be verbally or physically abused because of your porcelain skin. I imagine that it's terribly hard to admit that you're a Christian to others (even though there's a 62% chance that the person you're talking to affiliates themselves with your religion or a branch of it).

Let's not forget how hard it is to be conservative in Trump's America. I feel so bad for you. My heart breaks because of how hard you have it here. You probably can't even voice your political opinion. So tragic.

Does this sound ridiculous to you?

It should. You don't face oppression in America because you're white, and you definitely won't feel oppressed because you're conservative. Not to mention that it's literally impossible for you to be oppressed as a Christian; it is, in fact, the world's most predominant religion (followed by Islam and Catholicism).

I think it's ironic when conservatives say liberals are overly-sensitive and whine all the time, and then I come across an article like that. You'll be fine for the next four years for sure, so just shut up and enjoy your little ride on the Trump train straight into the gutter. As for me and mine, we'll keep fighting for what we know is right regardless of what you think.

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.
