5 Songs To Fuel Your Dissatisfaction

Amid the campaign chaos, the idea of 30 Days, 30 Songs arose to combat Donald Trump's election. After the results on November 8th that many of us were dreading, 30 Days, 30 Songs turned into 1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs. Our First 100 Days is a partner with this project. Websites such as these give us plenty of music to be dissatisfied to, and here are a few of the best.

1. Million Dollar Loan-Death Cab For Cutie

The first song featured on 1,000 Songs, 1,000 Days' playlist, Death Cab For Cutie's video features "Donald Trump" building walls, giving speeches, while being dragged over the "small loan" he was given from his father.


2. Interesting Drug (Morrissey cover)-OK Go

Originally by Morrissey and released in 1989, OK Go released this cover on January 18th, two days before Trump's inauguration.

3. I Give You Power-Arcade Fire ft. Mavis Staples

Shortly following OK Go, Arcade Fire released their newest single featuring Mavis Staples the day before Trump's inaguration with the statement, "It's never been more important that we stick together and take care of each other."

4. This Is Not America-David Bowie

Though this song wasn't released in response to Trump's inauguration (not even close, it was released in 1985), 30 Days, 30 Songs put it on their playlist anyway.

5. Mississippi Goddamn-Nina Simone

Another song written long before the election, yet still applicable; "Mississippi Goddamn" is considered to be one of Nina Simone's most famous political songs.

If you're still looking for more music to inspire your next protest (or are looking for some sick burns against Trump), check out 30 Days, 30 Songs' Spotify playlist.

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.
