Hot and Not at the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner

The White House Correspondents Dinner, jokingly referred to as "Nerd Prom," brings in guests from all over for a night to honor the press' coverage of the administration. This is quite possibly the only night that you will see a swimsuit model accept an invitation to dinner from a journalist who writes press releases in a cubicle. The press and media outlets not only have attendees from within their own organizations but also invite big name celebrities and politicians, as well. Over the years, it has become one of the hottest tickets in town, and by town, I mean our nation's capital ... but anyways, with the biggest names in attendance, a lot of effort is put in to make sure you are set to impress on the big night. Sometimes they're hot, and sometimes they're not.

The Attire: HOT

Vivica Fox

Vivica stunned in a beaded gown by Jenny Packham.

Katie Lowes

The "Scandal" star looked elegant in this curve-hugging gown from Talbot Runhof.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall was the only member of her family to attend but certainly represented them well.

Tom Hiddleston

Not only does he look extremely dapper, but he has no problem acknowledging the real star with him on the red carpet.

Candace Cameron-Bure

"The View" host and "Fuller House" star looked flawless in floral for the big night.

The Attire: Not

Raven-Symone

Dear "That's So Raven", that's SO not hot! It's a good thing Candace was there to carry "The View" team because she definitely didn't get any help from Raven.

Helen Mirren

Although we have to respect the purple tribute to Prince, we don't have to feel bad enough to like this gown. The fit does nothing for her and the lace looks cheap and immature. Such a shame for someone who usually looks so elegant.

AnnaLynne McCord

We get that you're in the nation's capital, and you're really feelin' the red, white and blue while you're there, but I think there was another way you could've gone instead of with this graffiti-starred dress.

Nikki Bell

I can't help but feel as though, after being shown this dress, I am going to be asked what I see by a psychologist.

Connie Britton

This gown left the "Nashville" star looking frumpy and incomplete.

The Speeches: Hot

President Obama

The crowd responded positively as Obama let loose and showed off his sense of humor at his final WHCD during his Presidency. What better way to finish than with a classic mic drop. #ObamaOut

The Speeches: Not

Larry Wilmore

The comedian got very little love from the crowd throughout his more controversial than humorous speech. What he did get was a middle finger and a few boos. Not even the First Lady could fake her smile until the end.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
