Donald Trump: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
The Union

On November 8th, 2016 Donald Trump was elected as the 45th president of the United States of America, creating mixed emotions from the country with some very satisfied and with others absolutely outraged over the result.

The Good

While there may not be many good attributes associated with Donald Trump, he was elected president because people saw some good in him. He is a very successful businessman, so during his presidency, he will make policies to make sure that our country can generate more jobs and to make our economy stronger which is an aspect the United States needs to improve upon to become a stronger country. He also has a alternate plan to help the middle class that would replace Obamacare which turned out to be a failure in the majority of our country's eyes.


The Bad

Donald Trump has said a lot of controversial points during his campaign that have outraged people, including building a wall to divide United States and Mexico. Another includes banning all Muslims from America in response to the shootings that have happened throughout the last year; in addition, he has also made multiple racist, extremist and Islamophobic comments that have outraged people. With that kind of blatant immaturity, many people are calling him a disaster before he has even started his four year term in office.


The Ugly

Donald Trump has also had many allegations come towards him including rape allegations and many controversial comments including calling previous Ms. Americas ugly or unfitting. Also, since Donald Trump won the presidency, thousands of people have been protesting throughout some of the biggest cities while police forcefully use tear gas and arrest thousands of 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!

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.

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.
