No Wall, No Muslim Ban!

Ever since Trump was elected president, Trump supporters constantly kept saying to give him a chance. They said that despite everything he said throughout the election, he was going to a good president. But ever since his inauguration, everything has gone downhill. In just 8 days, he has managed to get 53% of the U.S. population against him.

Within his first 8 days in office, he has signed off on so many executive orders that affect a variety of different people in this country and around the world. He made an executive order about starting construction on the border wall, and he plans on using American tax dollars to pay for this wall. Then after it's finished he plans on making Mexico reimburse the U.S. for the wall. However, none of this is actually possible. Unless he plans on going to war with Mexico so they can pay for the wall, they aren't going to actually pay for it, no matter what Trump says. At this point, Mexico is done with the U.S. and Trump, they even got to the point of boycotting all of the U.S. companies in Mexico. The U.S. is going to lose a lot of money due to this boycott. But Trump has not realized that yet, he's acting as if this is some kind of game.

On top of that, he put out a ban of all Muslim refugees from 7 different countries, from entering the U.S., also including those who have visas. People's lives are in danger in some of these countries and Trump is just choosing to turn his back on them. He is choosing not to help them in their time of need. Along with this, the people who do have visas and are from these countries are in in danger of being deported or if they are outside the country they are not able to re-enter the country. This is due to the fact that these countries are on some kind of terrorist list and because of this, Trump believes that the people from these countries are some kind of danger; when most of them are fleeing whatever horrible living situations their countries are going through.

Trump has just caused a lot of chaos and has created a lot of tension between the U.S. and other countries. He has completely dismantled what a democracy is and has caused for a lot of issues to grow. A lot of people, especially in other countries, are against what is going on right now in the U.S. For most of us, we don't see it getting any better any time soon. I honestly don't even know what more to expect from him, at this point, all hell has broken loose. I just have to hope for the best.

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.
