I Hate 2016

This year has been the worse year in my 20 years of being alive.

2016 had been the worst year that I have ever experienced. It all started with David Bowie dying, then Alan Rickman, then Prince, and the deaths just didn’t stop. My faith in America died when Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary rigging the votes. Then, even more famous people died. My college hired a teacher a week before the new school year started, and I was stuck with her for 3 and a half months. While I’m sure she’s fine as a teacher at other schools, she was teaching at an art school and our previous Art History teacher taught us well, quickly went over the material that we did last last class, and gave us reviews for things that will be on the test and a few that won’t. No bullshit at all. Can’t say the same for the new teacher. Her style maybe a bit wonky.

It didn’t stop there: more famous icons died, terrorists were attacking hospitals, and Trump, a orange no nipple neanderthal, became president! Like how far does America need to dig a hole until they hit rock bottom? What kind of unbalanced system allows for one race of people to overthrow the voice of every other race? Then, we find out that Russia hacked the voter ballots, and the electoral college still vote for Trump. Any other time Americans hear about Russia they think of communism, and (I’m pretty sure the majority of them don’t know what it even is) they get up in arms. But, when Russia helps Trump they suddenly are buddy-buddy with Russia. This country is so damn backwards when it comes to dumbass republicans that it hurts. And it's going to hurt even more when he ruins America and whatever chance it had at actually bettering itself because he's not a politician, he's a business man: that's like hiring a comedian to do open heart surgery!

Ugh. I wish the list ended there, but sadly it continues. More icons have died and are still dying even as 2016 is closing, with the latest deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds. This shit better not continue into 2017.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
