Sophomore Maya Hendrickson stood in their bedroom on election night, taking a break from staring at a screen while waiting expectantly for results. “This election has brought about extreme emotions for me” Hendrickson reflected, “I find it hard to believe the amount of votes pouring in for Donald Trump. How can you vote for a president who continuously undermines POC, the LGBTQ+ community, and anybody who disagrees with him? As a nonbinary person, I’m scared my rights will be taken away. I was more hopeful waking up in the morning, and hope that some states will turn blue.”
