5 Things Nancy Pelosi Should Actually Be Clapping For

CNN

If you haven't yet heard President Trump gave a State of the Union Address and there has been a lot of talk about it.

I am not going to go into the address because there are so many other qualified individuals that have written on it and I strongly encourage you to read those articles, instead of the opinions of your relatives on your Facebook newsfeed.

What I am going to talk about though is this meme of Nancy Pelosi, our House Speaker, who begins to golf clap for President Trump as he states "reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good."

This GIF made me LOL and now I am going to use it for the common good with a list of things I wish Nancy Pelosi was clapping for.

1. U.S. Olympian Chloe Kim is the youngest woman to win the gold medal for halfpipe snowboarding at the 2018 Winter Games.

We all love the Olympic games and seeing our country play!! It is always such an exciting thing to see that not only did we take home the gold, but it also was by the youngest woman to compete in halfpipe snowboarding! Go, Chloe!!

2. Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer Prize for "DAMN."

Kendrick Lamar, a popular rap artist, released his album "DAMN" in 2018 and this album deserves every award out there! It truly is one of the most unique rap styles and profound lyrics that I have ever heard!

3. Zendaya took 300 kids from her hometown of Oakland, California to see "Black Panther."

First of all who doesn't love the talented and beautiful Zendaya, but then she just goes and does this! This is so just selfless and heartwarming to me. I am so glad that she is giving back to her community and not forgetting her roots. Also, Black Panther is an incredible film that everyone should see.

4. Every day, 200 million skittles are brought to this world.

Come on who doesn't LOVE skittles!!!

5. Someone just found $20 in their pants pockets!

Someone right now at this moment in the world just had their day flipped upside down from this incredible news!!

In conclusion, I hope this article wasn't taken too seriously and I hope you can just laugh along with me and rejoice in all of the positive things that are happening around us!

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
