Dear Humanity,

We are about to enter the uncharted territory of President Donald Trump. It's a scary thought. I know. It's terrifying to think that a man who has said so many horrible things about people, both specific people and targeted groups, and who has no experience in politics, is going to be the person running our country. I know that a lot of people are scared of what Trump might do as President in regards to policy changes. I want you to know that it is going to be okay. We are going to be okay.

Yes, Trump has said a lot of racist, misogynistic, xenophobic things. He has offended numerous people and probably will continue to offend us as people throughout his presidency. And we should be offended. We should be offended by the things he says, and we should want to fight it. Instead of hiding from Trump's words, we should allow them to fuel the fire and the passion to fight back. We are the ones that are going to make a difference. He is just one man, and together, we are stronger than he will ever be.

Four years. We will have President Donald Trump for four years. A lot can happen in four years. He can change a lot in four years, but so can we. I know a lot of people are scared of these next four years. And that's okay. I want you to know that there are people here who are here for you. We have your back, and we will always stand up for you. We will not stand down from our beliefs, despite what Trump says or does as President. We can do this. We will stand up. We will fight. And we will get through this. As Trump's presidency approaches, please know that I love you. You are an amazing and wonderful human, and you can do anything. Remember that for the next four years, and forever.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
