Never Trump

Don't forget intelligence when choosing our next president.

Have your views, your opinions, your explanations but never Trump. The most common phrase I constantly hear when discussing the 2016 election is, “Well, I’m voting for Trump because I hate Hilary.” That sentence infuriates me. Just because you don’t agree with every position Hilary Clinton has taken, or because of her “emails” or because of Benghazi, you’re going to go with Trump? Who is on another planet when it comes to reality and dignity. I get it, Hilary isn’t perfect, trust me she wasn’t my first choice either, but sadly, in this election we don’t have the choice to be picky anymore.

I don’t understand the intelligence in putting the faith of your country in a bigot, billionaire,unintelligent, narcissistic lying a**hole. Someone who is persistently in the media for going back on what he said because he was talking “figuratively" or "sarcastically.” How can people take this man serious is what I want to know. A man who has no empathy on the basic american lifestyle including the middle class and their needs. A man who believes the minimum wage is too high, while inflation rises, and wages stay flat, The man who has openly gone against the constitution by claiming if he wins, he will ban a whole religion from entering this country. A man who is laughed at by other countries for his candidacy but is supposed to act as the mediator when commander in chief with allies? The man who full strung to the heart Republicans are publicly disowning and voting for the other party instead. The man who has been in thousands of lawsuits, yes thousands. The man who if he doesn’t get his way, whines or just sues.

I understand how hard this election is for everyone, no one feels they have any choice. But think of the work Hilary Clinton has done, the policies she has been involved in enacting. Think of what she stands for. The middle class, the working American, health care, education, innovation in our capital, if Trump wins all of that will be ruined. I especially think of all the progressive policies currently in our government and how they will be destroyed, and changed if Trump is in office. Don't just think about Clinton, think about what she can do, and how she knows how to do it. She is the most qualified person who ran in this election. Think about Trump who has no intelligence on the constitution, government policies, or how to even begin running a country. It is just sad we live in a day of age where popularity comes to mind when picking the next president, people treat it like the next season of "American Idol" and no thought or effort is put into it.

So tell me, you wanna talk about morality, you wanna talk about qualification, you wanna talk about dignity? Fine, but never Trump.

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.
