6 Gifts We Should Give Donald Trump For His Birthday
Buffet World

Author’s note: I’m not particularly versed in politics. I just know that Trump as president is not a good idea. Additionally, this is a kind of mean article. Reader discretion is advised.

June 14th marks the 70th birthday of Donald Trump. But despite all of his years on earth, he still hasn’t learned how to be a decent human being. Here are six gifts we should give Donald Trump for his birthday.

1. A clear understanding of a president’s position

If you look at a few of Trump’s policies you can see that he doesn’t understand where the president fits in the American political system. For instance, he frequently mentions that he will alter military spending. But the truth is that the president doesn’t decide things like that. And for good reason. Three branches of government keep any one power from ruling, and deviations from this could have Hitler-like consequences. For his birthday, we should educate Trump (and all his die-hard supporters) about the role of a president.

2. Several years of psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, can help alleviate narcissistic personality disorder. I am not a doctor, but I honestly think Trump has this condition. According to the Mayo Clinic here are some signs of this disorder:

  • Fantasies about power, success and attractiveness (I’m seriously not making this up.)
  • Failure to recognize others' needs and feelings
  • Exaggeration of achievements or talents (Trump University, anyone?)
  • Arrogance
  • Unreasonable expectations of favors and advantages, often taking advantage of others
  • Envy of others or belief that others envy you

Trump has demonstrated these behaviors again and again. And maybe the talk therapy will also help him with his compulsive lying.

3. A better research team

Okay, okay. Let’s say that Trump isn’t a compulsive liar. At the very least, he needs a better research team. Out of all the statements PolitiFact, a website dedicated to fact-checking statements of political figures, 41 percent of Trump’s statements been proven false. Likewise, 19 percent have been rated “pants on fire” worthy. A better research team would help Trump lie to the American people in a more believable fashion. That way when engaging in heated discussion about politics in a bar, non-Trump supporters will have a more challenging conversation to partake in. (When battling blatant ignorance, no one wins. When battling well-informed ignorance, a more interesting, enlightening conversation arises.)

4. A realistic way to deal with immigration

Now, I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t have any idea how to deal with immigration, nor do I know if immigration actually is an issue that needs to be addressed. But what I do know is that building a wall isn’t the answer. I mean, not that it’s exactly the same thing, but look how well The Great Wall of China kept out northern invaders.

5. A cage

Not for him. That’s inhumane. I just think he would enjoy having a place to store his hair.

6. A class on bigotry (or respect in general)

I don’t care how many Muslim friends Trump has. I don’t care that he’s got a wife and two daughters or a mother or a nana. Trump is a racist, and Trump is a sexist. Time and time again he exercises palpable disrespect against people that are different from him. That’s not the kind of person I want running my country.

I told you this was going to be harsh. Just know it's in good fun. (Kind of). Happy birthday, Donald Trump. Hope it’s a great day.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
