Another President, Another Inauguration.

Another President, Another Inauguration.
abc

In the light of recent events, it is impossible to shy away from January 20th's controversial transfer of power to America’s 45th President: Donald Trump. His domination has undoubtedly sparked immense conflict between Americans. To some, he is a symbol of hope in the ever crumbling structure of America’s foundation. To others he is represents the worst President in American history. Nevertheless, Donald Trump is our President and Americans can do nothing more then judge his decisions and hope that he keeps the interests of all Americans to heart.

Amidst Trump’s Inauguration, the seeds of rebellion spread through his opponents. There have been riots throughout the country with the most predominant one being in Washington D.C. There have been reported that a limo was set ablaze, store windows were smashed and nearly 200 people were arrested. This type of “protest” will accomplish nothing and ultimately hurts America as a whole. However, the controversy surrounding the Inauguration doesn’t stop at riots, the Twitter for the National Parks Service retweeted an image comparing the crowds between Obama’s 2009 Inauguration and Trump’s 2017 Inauguration. This unprofessional retweet ultimately resulted in all Department of Interior Bureaus “to immediately cease use of government Twitter accounts until further notice.”


Trump is America’s 45th President. There is no denying this fact. However, Trump will eventually be out of office in 4 to 8 years. During these 4 to 8 years, the Sun will continue to rise and set and we can do nothing more then continue to live our lives and hope that Trump truly does “Make America Great Again” regardless of his beliefs or questionable past.

Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
