Donald Trump, Please Get Off Twitter

"There is so much happening in this country that deserves your outrage, but a comedy show is certainly not one of them."

Donald Trump, Please Get Off Twitter
The Daily Dot

Dear Donald Trump,

Please, for the love of God, chill out with the tweeting. While it's fun to be reckless on social media and tweet whatever comes to mind, as the President-elect, you need to stop. It's already scary enough that a man with no political experience is going to run our country, and this just makes it even scarier. You lose your mind whenever SNL does a parody of you, instead of realizing that it's a joke and that, as Americans, we have the right to make these kinds of jokes. Even as one of the most powerful men in the world, you cannot take that right away from us.

But instead of being outraged over a TV show, how about being outraged over something that actually matters? Get angry at what is happening at Standing Rock. Get angry that so many of our Veterans are homeless or unemployed. Get angry that Flint Michigan still does not have clean drinking water. There is so much happening in this country that deserves your outrage, but a comedy show is certainly not one of them. So please, get off Twitter, and get angry at the things that actually matter. Maybe then, I can start to take you seriously.

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.
