January 20th marks two years since President Donald Trump was inaugurated, and it has been a whirl wind since. Here are some highlights for your viewing pleasure:

1. Inauguration

On this day, our President Donald Trump declared he would have us from American Carnage and "Make a America Great Again". How is he going to do that? Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it!

2. Charolottesville

Giphy

President Trump did not take long to show Americans how he plans to handle racial tensions. August 2017, the Charlottesville riots resulted in three deaths and multiple injuries. And Trump's incredibly passive response: "We condemn the strongest possible - of bigotry and violence, on many sides"

3. Hurricane Maria

Hurricane Maria was a terrible hurricane that impacted residents of Puerto Rico back in 2017. How does President react to the first major natural event under his presidency? He throws napkins to a crowd...

4. Meeting with very Important Politician Kanye West

Giphy

I don't even have anything sarcastic to say about this. I'm not really sure why Kanye West met the President, or what he was going on about. But in all the ways President Trump has show disregard for minorities and people of color, Kanye West has found a way to love him.

5. Christmas 2018

Remember the days when the President would visit the troops deployed on the Holidays, and thank them for keeping us safe. So do I, because President Trump has changed this wonderful tradition, and instead aims to gloat to the troops. Biggest pay raise!

6. Government Shutdown

Giphy

Finally, President Donald Trump celebrated his second term throwing a tantrum worthy of Donald Trump. Because Democrats won't give him his big bad wall, he's going to shutdown the government. Does he consider the way a government shutdown of this length is effecting government worker. Nope. It's been almost a month now President Trump. What's the move?

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
