What do you have against us?

Dear Anti-Trump Supporters,

In the last month or so, there have been numerous protests and marches around the nation by you anti-Trump supporters, some of which have been peaceful, while others have not. You have taken the nation by storm, and while you preach unity over division, and for the people not against the people, your actions contradict your words. Phrases such as “not my President” and claiming all Trump supporters are racist, sexist, prejudice, etc. is doing the exact opposite of unifying this nation, and in reality, its making the nation more and more divided.

But hey, you’re not wrong, we do need to come together as one and be the UNITED States of America, not the divided nation that we are now. But have you ever thought that you are doing the exact opposite? You may be uniting all of the other anti-Trump supporters, but what about the actual Trump supporters. What do you have against us?

Trump is our President whether you like it or not, and you honestly just have to deal with it. There were numerous people, myself included, that were upset and unhappy when Obama became President eight years ago. But did you see us rioting in the streets? Were we hostile towards Obama supporters? Did you ever see us call them names, physically and verbally attack/abuse them because they supported the President of the United States? No. We did not. In fact, we sat back and just waited to see what happened. Yes, we were unhappy, but we still gave him a chance, and a lot of us Republicans thought he did an awful job. So, we wanted change and voted in President Trump FAIR AND SQUARE. So, stop complaining that Hillary won the popular vote and she’s not in office; that’s not how the election works, we have something called the electoral college.

But really, what do you have against the people who support the President. Just because we support a person, it doesn’t mean we have the same qualities that they have. We don’t support every single policy he has; you can’t 100% agree with someone on everything. Are you upset that we call you out over things that just don’t make sense? That we try to exercise our first amendment rights too? That you can call us out on social media, physically attack us for wearing a Make America Great Hat, yet whenever we try to retaliate or spit the facts you don’t want to hear it and you get mad at us for “attacking your first amendment rights.” I’m tired of all of you being intolerant to criticism and facts. Man up and be able to take what we have to say without crying to your safe space. This country needs adults, not crybabies.

I ask a few things from you, and if you can do this then maybe we’ll become more unified as a nation. First, stop forcing your views down our throats and then getting angry and physical when we oppose them. Second, maybe actually listen to Trump’s policies and ideas and read into what they are rather than listen to the bias media nowadays; you’ll learn something and realize how skewed the media is and how brainwashed all of you are to want Trump to fail. Third, let us exercise our rights and we’ll let you exercise them. We will be civil if you will be too. And lastly, give Trump a chance. Please. We gave Obama a chance, why can’t you do the same.

Sincerely,

A supporter of the President

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
