A Letter Of Unity From A Trump Supporter To A Clinton Supporter

Come together, it's not about Democrats or Republicans, it is about loving our country enough to stand in the face of unknown and conquer whatever is to come as one.

Dear American citizen,

I know it has been a long, hard and emotionally draining 18 months since this presidential journey began for all of us. April 12 and then June 16th these two candidates began this race to The Whitehouse but little did any of us know what was to come. Now November 8th has come and gone and this dynamic, historic day has left us with President-Elect Donald J. Trump.

But this isn't about who is right or who is wrong. As a Trump supporter, I want to be the first to say I know my candidate has said many wrongs things that have alienated and hurt very specific groups of people along with the general American population. Donald Trump has made some highly inappropriate comments regarding woman and all of us even as supporters are disappointed in those comments. He also generalized the Mexicans and that hurt many. But we as his supporters do not support him for those comments, we support him because of his status as a political outsider, his new ideas for the people, and his plan to fix government corruption. We also acknowledge has certainly made some mistakes that have no excuse; however, the matter of the fact is, he is our next president, end of story.

OUR, meaning each and every one of us is a citizen under him as our leader. I entirely understand why you would not want to support a man like this and your opinions all matter and deserve to be heard. No one person's opinion is any more or any less important than the other. Whether you are a fan of Clinton or just not a fan of Trump the reality is as the people of this country we must now come together or else we will destroy this country from within.

The only way to bring this country back together is to work together. That may not mean agreeing entirely at every point but it does mean working together to understand our differences and accept where we are so we can move forward. I believe in your right to protest but I just need to remind everyone that if you want a country that works together and doesn't break we need to get our heads out of the gutter and start talking instead of yelling. The election cannot and will not change no matter how much protesting, Facebook posting or complaining you do. Your voices have been heard, now listen to ours and let's allow our collective voice to solve America's problems.

I understand the fear and unknown surrounding the next four years for America as a whole. But, if we are driven by fear and blind to the power and voice we still have then this nation will break apart. I am asking both sides of the political and social spectrum to stop the chaos, quit the hatred and pull together in our commonalities. We are American. There is no "us versus them" rather it's us the people with the privilege of having a check against the government. Let us not forgot we all have the same blood running through our veins and we all are entitled to the same rights. If our opinions are the only reason we are so divided we should all be disappointed.

Come together, it's not about Democrats or Republicans, it is about loving our country enough to stand in the face of unknown and conquer whatever is to come as one. A nation unified cannot be stopped because we are all in it together for one common goal. When we are stronger together then and only then can we make America great again. Stop looking for a fight, please try and find the light!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
