Donald Trump is a goddamn maniac and we can't get enough of him.

At some point, you have to come to terms with the awesomeness that is Donald Trump. Not necessarily the type of awesome you would use to describe a really intense action movie with huge explosions, somewhat decent dialogue and a risque sex scene with Léa Seydoux. No, it's more of the awesome that you'd use to describe a shit you took that ended up clogging the toilet, causing irreversible damage, ultimately leaking vivid brown and pungently repulsive fluids out of your bathroom and onto the hallway carpet. And really only "awesome" when you're reflecting on it months after, when the damages have been paid for and the embarrassment stings less, because a girl you really liked happened to be sitting in the living room, both her vision and scent working perfectly fine.

Yeah, so Donald Trump is awesome.

And apparently New Hampshire thinks so too. It's not the latter version, however, and it's actually really terrifying to see people engage with the presumed Republican presidential candidate. His speech on Thursday was initially about renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, which is supposedly funneling all manufacturing jobs to Mexicans and them alone. But at least this was a somewhat presidential issue that Trump was going to address. Yeah, it's still the same sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic rhetoric that he's always pitched, but at least there's some policy that it can hide behind.

That speech, though, got really out of hand when Trump began taking questions and comments from those that attended the town hall. One of which in particular has gained some trending traction.

"Heeby jobbies". It sounds like a quasi-hybrid of heebie jeebies and jobs (maybe fear of losing more jobs?), but I'm not going to give the benefit of the doubt. No, what it actually is is a woman's comment regarding military veterans replacing TSA employees who also happen to be Muslim, an attempt at referring to Hijab, a symbolic clothing article for Muslim women. What's even better is the phrase was said on national television. So if we're lucky, some genius, satirical rapper will use it in a verse in one of their songs.

The idea was directed at Trump, who very simply agreed with her and moved on. His job isn't to correct the woman or at least clarify what she might have meant (could still be job anxiety). But shouldn't it be? To answer myself quickly, no it shouldn't be, because Donald Trump is the physical embodiment of the cesspool breeding ground for the horrific love couple that is hate and ignorance - and then the interbreeding of overwhelming nationalism and arrogance. So criticizing those comments would undermine his entire persona.

But New Hampshire has very callously shown the level of rapport hateful-Trump has garnered with citizens. These people have been fervently told for years now, basically since President Obama came into office, that their values are wrong, or at the very least, misguided. So they repressed those sentiments, grumbling and griping about how their country has been taken away from them. But now they have a chance to alleviate the pressure. They can now praise their spray-tan-savior, obnoxious trucker hat and all, with sickening statements like, "We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims."

That was also from the New Hampshire speech. It seems like people are feeding off his evil energy. It also seems that he's feeding off theirs. When you jokingly point out a plane flying overhead as Mexican that is "getting ready to attack", as a candidate running for presidential office, you encourage, with an uproarious splendor, the spread of hate.

The months draw fewer until voting, but the message is still the same for Trump and the people cheer louder and the media extends their coverage. And we are left standing, mouth ajar, in the presence of all his shit-clogged awesomeness.

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.

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.
