Melania vs. Michelle

Is it still plagiarism if you do not know you did it?

Melania vs. Michelle
People Magazine

Social Media has blown up these past few days with the leftovers from Melania Trump's Republican National Convention speech and whether or not she plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech from the Democratic National Convention back in 2008. Something around 7 percent of her speech was almost word for word directly taken from our dear FLOTUS’s speech. Now, I’m not going to argue whether or not I think the speech was plagiarized because I read both speeches and there were definitely similarities. I’m talking about whether or not Melania knew what was going to go down.

I’m talking about how I wholeheartedly believe that Donald J. Trump would throw his wife under the train tracks to be brutally destroyed by the public.

In my humble opinion, the Donald is only running for president to get Hillary Clinton elected. I think the many, many years DT has supported the Clintons' political careers should make it a tad obvious. His only job was to make a complete fool of the Republican Party so no one would take any of the other candidates seriously. He likes to say anything that will keep the public talking, he also likes to make sure it is about him.

What else would you expect from a reality TV star?

Now we have come to the point in the election where the majority of the public believes we only have the two options. They believe, come this November 8th 2016, they will have to choose either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. It is now the Republican Party’s job to make it a complete act of idiocy to vote for the Donald. Every time I turn around I’m reading an article about someone else DT has harrassed.

The most recent, his wife.

The only problem with this is the fact that I do not think Melania Trump was told that she would be used and made a fool. Since the very beginning of his campaign, it has been known that she has been against her husband running for office. Though she may have been involved in the scheme, I don’t think she knew she was giving a speech similar to Mrs. Obama’s. So while everyone is out there making fun of Melania, I think they need to take a minute to think about how she must feel. Waking up the next morning, learning about what happened, then processing the fact that her husband did this to her. He allowed the supposed love of his life to be crushed by our overly judgmental society for his own personal gain.

There is no way her speech writers were not aware the speech was so similar to the one FLOTUS gave back in 2008. There is no way Donald J. Trump was not aware that his wife was going to be so viciously used.

Melania Trump is as much of a victim as they come. She doesn’t deserve the whipping she was handed.

Yours Lovingly

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.
