Leave Barron Trump Alone
PMCHOLLYWOODLIFE

Ever since Donald Trump made the decision to run for president, he and his family have been under tremendous scrutiny. With Donald Trump himself launching attacks on various groups within our society, it is easy to forget that his poor choices are not on the behalf of his family. People of our nation have been fighting fire with fire by sending insults to even the most innocent and vulnerable of the Trump clan: Barron.

Barron Trump, the ten-year-old "first boy" of the country wasn't the one who mocked the disabled reporter, or Hillary Clinton, or the several others that President Trump elected to bully (305 to be exact!)

He did not choose for his father to run for President of the United States, putting his family in the spotlight. He didn't choose for his every move to be analyzed by the media.

He, I'm sure, is much like every other ten-year-old boy in the country. I'm sure he loves video games, pizza, and cartoons. What he probably doesn't love? The terrible insults being hurled in his direction.

When I saw that the SNL writer made a joke about the Barron being the "next homeschool shooter," I was absolutely disgusted. With all of the controversy about guns and the recent tragedies surrounding school shootings, it was insensitive on all fronts.

That is just one of the many instances where, instead of directing frustration where it should be sent, the media is taking down the easiest target.

The last thing this country needs right now is negativity. Trying to inspire positive changes in the government through bullying and force is ultimately going to be ineffective. Not to be cliche, but fighting fire with fire is only going to create an environment where bullying is acceptable. And honestly, it is the last thing we need.

We need kindness. We need respect and love and a lot of it, and not just in regards to Barron Trump. To truly make America "great," we must create an atmosphere of kindness, respect, and love, and we must create it as soon as possible.

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.
