You can't change that he's our president, but you can probably change some of these things.

20 More Protest-Worthy Causes Than The Trump Administration That You Should Support Right Now

Flickr

We've all seen the recent protests happening around D.C. as a response to the new Trump administration. While the majority of protests have been peaceful, some have been a little... destructive to say the least. This got me thinking: we can't do anything to change the fact that Donald Trump is our 45th president, so instead of protesting his administration, why not put our energy into other causes that we can (possibly) change? Here are 20 causes that are more worthwhile to protest than the Trump administration:

1. The fact that guac costs extra at Chipotle.

Is it just me or does it keep getting more and more expensive each time?

2. The fact that Taylor Swift hasn’t dropped an album in FOREVER.

Girl, enough with your DIRECTV nonsense, throw me some new break-up songs, boo.

3. The fact that Luke Pell isn’t the Bachelor.

He was robbed!

4. ...and that Chad was able to stay on Jojo’s season for so long.gags

5. States that have “brothel laws” which keep sororities from having houses.

So archaic.

6. Gen-ed requirements.

Why do I have to take philosophy? Lame.

7. That Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays.

That’s literally when I crave it most.

8. How SoulCycle doesn’t have some kind of membership.

$35 a class is cray.

9. The fact that Lily Pulitzer makes super cute clothes but they’re so expensive.

$85 for shorts? Nah.

10. People who still have their Christmas lights up.

It’s nearly February, come on now.

11. The fact that women’s restrooms always have ridiculous lines and the men’s room is always empty.

12. The fact that Sam Smith hasn’t released an album since 2014.

Come on, baby.

13. How girls in makeup tutorials slay their faces and then when I try I look like Ronald McDonald.

My “contour” has me looking like the Joker.

14. The obscenely high prices of movie tickets.

What's that about?!

15. American Airlines.

Everything about them is awful.

16. How Wendy's is somehow always out of nuggets and never fails to mess up my order.

I said no mayonnaise like eight times, bro.

17. How Taylor Swift's music still isn't available on Spotify.

I thought she loved her fans?

18. How GamePigeon doesn't have hangman yet.

Are you kidding me?

19. How Facebook and Instagram alert you when someone decides to "Go Live."Just stop.

20. How Starbucks seasonal drinks are the best thing about that place but are only available for so short a time.

*sheds a tear*

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
