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"?

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.
