Trump Wall

There is a Trump Wall at WSU, and it doesn't make any sense.

Trump Wall

The sadness has struck, with racism at Washing State University (WSU).

Because WSU is a public University, there is more of a chance to share your political opinions. However, the oppression that has been contributed to the school has been creating a racial stir and a political conflict. The protests regarding the newly built trump wall in the center of their campus, are valid. People who support Trump may have their reasons, but the amount of racism that he contributes in does not help. Trump doesn't support #BlackLivesMatter, and he should, everyone should. The fact that people are supporting this wall is unforgiving.

As a student at Pacific Lutheran University, my liberal values can't contain what is happening at WSU, all I want to do is drive up and support the Black Student Union President. I want there to be something done. And I understand that the administration approved this wall, but while it may keep an open space for people to express their political opinions, it also oppresses the minority. This is uncontrollable and I can't believe it is actually happening.

I wish there were more I could do to fix this, to support the people who are supporting themselves. There deserves to be a change, and creating awareness may help the school take down this wall that oppresses others.

The idea that Trump wants to get rid of illegal immigrants with a wall and have it paid by the Mexican government is ridiculous. He will bring the country in so much debt, and it won't help our country at all. There is no sensible reason to have a wall built around our border. And deporting people has been happening, but the fact that he thinks he can do that to the people who live in this country, especially when he uses these people for his work. It is ridiculous how he can do something like this, and I wish I could understand why people find the need to separate families more than necessary.

I believe everyone has their right to have their opinion in politics, but I don't think this is acceptable.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
