Donald Trump Is Not My President

He might be the President of the USA but he is not the President of me.

Donald Trump Is Not My President
NotJersey

In light of the recent inauguration of the second coming of Hitler, you've probably heard the term "NOT MY PRESIDENT".

Many people who are not fighting for their rights, not worrying about the safety of their friends and family, their education or really anything else for that matter use the phrase "Not My President" to make fun of liberals (and everyone else fighting against Donald Trump because for once, it's not just the liberals).

"Not My President."

We are not idiots.

We have comprehended and accepted the fact that we have a Cheeto as a leader of our country, supposed to be the Land of the Free.

We KNOW that he is the President of the United States of America.

He might be the President of our country but he is not the President of us. He is everything I have fought against my entire life. When you think of who the president should be, you think of someone who is by your side on the most important issues in your life; whether it be wanting equal pay as a woman, wanting rights to our own bodies, not worrying about whether our next door neighbor is going to get deported. We should not be worried about if we will be able to afford education. We shouldn't be worried about our children's education because the person now in charge of public education who is a billionaire that never had to worry about how they would pay for their education. We shouldn't have someone who doesn't care about students, the teachers, or the education but ladies and gentlemen, Betsy DeVos. Excellent choice, Donald Trump. You've truly outdone yourself this time.

This country needs a leader who cares about the children of the future, not someone who's pushing people out who have different beliefs. Our leader shouldn't ACTUALLY believe that America should be a Christian nation when this country was built on a certain foundation called, well I don't know: THE CONSTITUTION.

"Not My President"

because love Trumps hate.

because I am a NASTY woman.

because you will NOT grab me by ANYTHING.

You're missing the point if you actually think I don't know that Donald Trump is the President. He does not represent me or many other Americans. His proposed policies are living nightmares. The people who are saying "HE'S YOUR PRESIDENT, GET OVER IT!" are the same people who were protesting President Obama because they wanted to see a birth certificate (more-so because he was black but because I don't want to offend any in-the-closet racists, I'll leave it at his birth certificate.)

He is not my president.

He is an enemy of everything I've ever believed in.

So I'll leave this here for everyone:

Please stay informed. Please be aware of your rights. Please do not stop fighting. We do not have to sit back and watch our country burn.

He is not my President. Not now, not ever.

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.
