Being the Love in a Hateful America

Be The Peace

This election has caused many people to start saying some horrible things. Both to and from Trump supporters. Something to note, however, is that everybody, regardless of political views, religion, color, etc. have feelings.

Sometimes, when people have harsh feelings, their judgment gets clouded, and they say extremely hurtful things. All around me, people are saying how much they hate Trump supporters and how rude and outrageous Trump supporters are. Those same people are spewing the same trash they supposedly are "against."

When you let opinions take over your emotions, there typically isn't a good response. I have talked to people who voted for Trump and people who didn't. The one who voted for him, are scared. Scared of what people will do or say to them. Some have said they feel shameful and they feel rejected. They feel rejected by the people blaming them for being judgmental. Problem?

There needs to be peace. Peace on all sides. Non-biased peace. People need to realize that everybody has feelings. Everybody has concerns. Everybody is experiencing the same America. We want unity. We don't want to walk around completely divided. We are one nation under God, regardless of the president.

Moral of the story, love everybody. Just because somebody supports Trump, there is no need to call them stupid, idiot, moron, and other words I can't even bring myself to type. Nobody will solve anything if there is no room for love.

Be the peace.

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.
