To Those Who Believe In Donald Trump

I envy you.

To Those Who Believe In Donald Trump
The Chicago Tribune

To those who believe in Donald Trump,

I envy you. I envy your ignorance towards the problems of today's society. Because as they say, ignorance is bliss.

I envy you because you obviously cannot see the hatred and the injustice in the world. You cannot see the pain that men like him cause. You cannot see people's freedoms being slowly taken away. Freedoms that Americans have fought for, that they have died for, day after day after day. You cannot see how this man has the power to set us back for decades to come. You cannot see what you have done.

Blindness is something that I am not accustomed to. My eyes were meant to see. Please understand that I am not trying to berate you. I'm just trying to see the things you see. My God, how can you sit there while your fellow Americans shiver in fear? How can you look them in the face and tell them that you are glad that they are scared?

For a country made of immigrants, so many of us ignore our roots. In favor of white nationalism, and I envy you. I envy how you are comfortable in your own skin. I envy your race, your sexuality, your financial stability. Your talent for ignoring your privilege while I am forced to acknowledge my lack of it.

I am jealous of you, it's true, for I am filled with anxiousness. While you look forward to the next four years, I prepare myself to clean up the mess. To know that there are those who would rather see you dead than be who you are is a reality that you don't have to face. When I am feeling weak and hopeless, I wish to take your place. You don't have to work harder to earn as much as everyone else. You don't hear people threaten you in public when all you're trying to do is better yourself. If I could be as selfish as you seem to be, what would the world think of me? Would I care, if I were a part of a group that ignored every opinion but theirs?

These glasses that you seem to be wearing, they cause tunnel vision. While people protest for what they believe in, you fail to see what they envision. If an event is so drastic that people take to the streets, historically speaking, that means that there are some changes that we need. When the Woman's March on Washington has more participating than a president's inauguration, there's a problem. The brave men and women who are marching are doing their best to solve it.

Trump supporters, don't you care about future generations? About how they will look at you? Which side of history will you be on? The one who helped us win, or the one who made us lose?

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
