Y'all Should Chill On Criticizing Jeff Sessions

He's still the Attorney General.

Y'all Should Chill On Criticizing Jeff Sessions
MyAJC

Throughout this week, I've seen posters all over campus voicing anger over some of the people President Trump has appointed to the Cabinet. One such person, and the most prominent poster, is Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The poster had an unflattering picture of Sessions with the headline: "When you're racist and still the Attorney General?"

This is rude and completely unnecessary. And if you couldn't tell, it's ungrammatical. It doesn't make sense. The question mark at the end makes just as much sense as thinking your little poster is going to solve anything.

So Jeff Sessions didn't divulge that he met with the Russian ambassador. That's true. How, though, is that going to stop him from doing his job?

You know what will stop him from doing his job? People taking their personal, uninformed opinions and causing him problems to deal with there rather than on a larger scale that will progress our country.

This begs the question, an honest question: Is the problem Jeff Sessions or is the problem that one "side" won the presidency over the other? Is the problem that people didn't want Trump as President and therefore any choice he makes will be the wrong one? Is there nothing better to do with your time than picking on a man for no purpose? What were your signs supposed to do besides harm a man's character?

You can say he's racist for whatever reason you want. You'll probably say that he thinks bad things about black people and he says bad things about black people, but let's take an objective look for just a second.

Are you not doing the same thing to him? You're making fun of him, saying hurtful things about him. Maybe they're true, but does that negate their racism? No. It doesn't.

I'll leave you with one more question. Do your posters make you racist?

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.
