I previously wrote an article about how much publicity Donald Trump was getting during the elections. Well this past Tuesday Novemeber 8, the entire nation witnessed the moment in which a businessman with no political background became the 45th president.

It was something a lot of people did not see coming mainly because why could we trust someone with little political background to lead the country specially when it came to handling conflicts with other countries and other types of negotiations.

Now the important questions are what is he going to do to improve the country? If we think about all the things he promised, what is he going to truly accomplish? No matter if you voted for him or not, now we have to think about all the things that he could do in the next four years and how it will impact the country.

Yes, it’s true that during the campaign we were all annoyed by how much publicity Trump received, but at the same time it is understandable when he is the first candidate who comes with a different background. This makes me wonder why doesn’t the government change the policy of who can become president after the age of 35. I personally believe that you should have at least some political knowledge in order to run and it would be better if the candidate is a politician.

There can be some opposite arguments in which anyone should run for office no matter what political background they have. That is true anyone who has great values for the country should run, but at the same time that person should be prepared to be in charge of the nation and the complications it involves. Being president should not be taken lightly specially because they have the power to better or worsen the country.

I have been avoiding social media as much as I can for the last couple of days because everyone is stating their opinions, but others are just attacking people. How can we become a better nation when there is hatred amongst us and there is hardly anything we can do. At this time it is best to avoid social media to avoid seeing comments that might affect me and others. There is no reason for fighting, everyone has different opinions and at this time we all have to unite in order to better the country.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
