Why I Am Officially Endorsing Donald Trump
ABC News

Before you call me crazy, hypocrite, or whatever name comes to your mind, hear me out. What comes to your mind when you think of Donald Trump? What comes to your mind when you think of Hillary Clinton? It's no secret Donald Trump is criticized plenty, but what are the accomplishments of Hillary Clinton compared to Donald Trump?

First up, take a look at the option across the aisle from Trump. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claims to be experienced in government and your vote is simply something she deserves from you. However, confirmed events say otherwise. She lied about her emails which put American lives in danger which was confirmed by several sources, including the FBI. Also, many will brush Benagzi off as no big deal. Americans were killed, but maybe mistakes happen. Except it wasn't a mistake. Hillary Clinton had been receiving several requests for more security due to security concerns from the Americans there. She straight up ignored their requests and that led to the death of the four Americans. If you're someone still standing firm that she would be better, name me her accomplishments. She is a woman, so should that be an automatic qualification? As neat as a good woman president would be, we need one that takes care of Americans, is honest, and cares about this country instead of the power.

Going back to Trump, he isn't an experienced politician. It's a good thing because he didn't have to step into the political scene, but he did. He really could've stayed in his comfortable penthouse, but he didn't. When critics say that he was forced to file bankruptcy four times, it completely sounds as if he would have terrible economy oversight. However, it didn't liquidate the companies, it simply legally saved the companies and Trump might've had some control, but the blame for the company trouble is by far not all of his to carry. In fact, he is still wealthy and very high above water thanks to those decisions and risky, but smart decisions like the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Tower. Saying inheritance didn't help him would be a lie, but so would saying he hasn't accomplished anything on his own when he made these profitable business decisions.

As far as his stance on immigration, his comments may seem out there, but research his positions. He is for LEGAL immigration (his wife is an immigrant). Instead of planning on cutting breaks to wealthy, he is focusing on those who have a small business or people who are trying to work up higher in the work world and stand up for them.

If you plan on not voting for Trump, I ask, "Don't you have a moral obligation as a citizen of the United States to make the best choice?" Why would you allow a lying and selfish person to get the presidency when she hasn't even treated her other offices with respect? I'm voting for Donald Trump because I believe he is our best shot to make the country great again. Don't allow a woman who doesn't care about American lives to hold the greatest position of power. If you care about America, you have an obligation to stand next to me and vote for Trump.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
