On the evening of November 8, 2016, a lot of people were devastated to find out the results of the presidential election. Donald Trump was thought to be way behind Hillary Clinton but he surprised many American citizens and even other countries. Due to this, some celebrities are planning to boycott the inauguration of Donald Trump's presidency.

The day after the inauguration which is set for Jan. 20., citizens plan to flood the streets of Washington D.C. for a Women's March. About 100,000 people are expected to join the protest. Female stars such as Cher, America Ferrera, Scarlett Johansson, Chelsea Handler, Debra Messing, Julianne Moore, Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, and more are expected to show up and take over the Women's March.

Chelsea Handler wrote a piece on the subject and stated, "One of the saddest things about November 8, aside from the very presence of Donald Trump on the ballot as a major party American presidential candidate, were the women of America who somehow managed to vote for Donald Trump," following with, "We don’t just have a problem with men supporting women in this country; we have a problem with women supporting women."

CNN exit polls recored that more than 52 percent of white women and 25% of latino women voted for Donald Trump.

Cher also had much to say on twitter about the presidential results.

She has posted countless updates expressing her feelings about trump. She's even had some backlash for it. Piers Morgan, born in England and known for being a judge on America's got talent, was one of the more obvious ones. He replied to Cher's posts on twitter telling her to "pipe down" and called her an "absurd specimen".

Other celebrities such as Mark Ruffalo, Alec Baldwin, and a Michael Moore have organized a March of their own, a guys' march, outside of trump tower the same night of the inauguration.

Some say celebrity protesting wont do much while others are hopeful that they will have a larger impact on the American people.

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!

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.

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.
