Now that Barack Obama is no longer Commander in Chief, Americans are overwhelmed by Trump's administration. Over the next four years, it's Americans' job to not let Donald Trump divide our country. Here are six ways to survive the new administration:

1. Educate yourself on the issues

The website https://www.isidewith.com/ quiz helps narrow down which political party affiliation you have based on issues that matter to you.

2. Know who your representatives are

From state to federal government representatives senators, They're our voices.

Important representatives to know

Elizabeth Warren- senator from Massachusetts advocates for higher education

Mitch McConnell - majority leader of the senate

Nancy Pelosi - minority leader of the house

Chuck Schumer - minority leader of the senate

Kevin Mccarthy -majority leader of the house

John Lewis - congressman of Georgia civil rights activist, lead the democratic sit in last summer.

Paul Ryan - speaker of the house.

3. Serve your community

Whether it is paying for someone's groceries or volunteering your time at a homeless shelter one small act of kindness makes a difference in the world.

4. Vote

As Barack Obama said Don't Boo Vote.

Our vote matters. It elects your president, vice president, senator, congressman or woman and state legislators.

To keep in mind there is the midterm election 2018 to reverse which party is the majority in house and senate.

5. Go to Town Hall Meetings

They're open to the public and you get a sense of what is happening your neighborhood.

6. Watch CSPAN.

CSPAN has full access to senate and house sessions, white house briefings. Viewers are informed on the legislation being presented. The cameras are only on if house and senate are in session. This network played a key role in democratic sit in because they broadcasted representative facebook live and periscope live streams.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
