A Review of the 2016 RNC

Have you heard? The circus is in town! It's called "Make America Great Again". The clown wears a funny wig and makes ludicrous and inaccurate statements. Is it any surprise that the RNC seemed to be a bit of a disaster? When Ted Cruz makes the most thoughtful remarks (he refused to give his support to the power-hungry and crazed Trump), you've got to realize that something is not quite right. Let's take a look at some of the most exciting parts of the night, shall we?

To begin, Donnie Boy has continued to use songs by The Rolling Stone's despite their continuous criticism of his campaign. Trump, however, who has never had to exercise self-control, does not understand that NO means NO. I'm secretly praying that the band continues to speak out against Trump when he uses their music without permission and then take legal action against him. I do love it when Presidential candidates ignore reasonable demands like "Hey, don't use my music unless I say it's okay to use my music." It really demonstrates the point that he was trying to get across during his speech, that he's here for the American people. That's right, Trump ignored The Rolling Stones because they're British. Take that, England!

One interesting aspect of the night was Melania's speech. Not only was it a great lesson to college students (don't plagiarize, you'll get caught), but it was so ironic. Melania didn't steal just anyone's speech. Melania stole part of Michelle Obama's speech. Melania, the wife of a man who could not be more prejudiced against democrats, especially Obama and Hilary, stole part of Michelle Obama's speech. Is this not hilarious to anyone else? I mean, of course it was a serious mistake and the "speech-writer" has come out to "take full responsibility" of the speech, but apparently Donald and Barack have more in common than they originally thought.

However, my favorite part of the night was seeing Donald's youngest child, Barron. First of all, Barron is a great name, quite reminiscent of the robber-barons in the early 20th century. It really emphasizes the main theme of Trump's campaign. Secondly, Donald's son looks like a mini Donald! Which is definitely not creepy at all. And lastly, he was falling asleep pretty much the entire time. Which is hilarious. Donald's own son didn't want to hear his dad's speech. I'm also not surprised that little Donald had no self-control and was not paying attention (but that's none of my business).

What was your favorite part of the night? Comment below with something interesting that you noticed. Was it how Donnie blames China for all of America's problems? Or maybe how he honestly believes that American isolationism has been effective in the past and will be effective in the future? Maybe it was a funny tweet you saw under the hashtag "Famous Melania Trump Quotes"?

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
