Should We #SaveMelania?

After all, no one deserves to be married to Donald Trump.

Should We #SaveMelania?
Celebrity Insider

The infamous hashtag began when videos and gifs circulated the internet of 45th's inauguration. In these clips, it appeared that Melania Trump was not only completely ignored by her husband, but also that she expressed a clear dislike, some might even say hatred, for him. Thus, the hashtag #SaveMelania began to pick up steam.

For the most part, it has been forgotten, with a few resurgences every time Melania shuns her husband's attempts at hand-holding or other affections. However, the latest video of Melania and Donald is downright cringe-worthy, and has successfully reignited the question: does Melania Trump need saving?

Some say no, on the grounds that her relationship with 45 is healthy and not the concern of the public. While there is definitely some controversy on the former, I can concede to the latter.

Some say no, that she is implicit in the Trump administration and is therefore as guilty as he is in everything that is happening in the nation.

Some say no, that she knew what she was getting into when she entered into a "gold-digging", "green card" marriage.

Others say yes because the constant tabloid sensations of her husband's sexual exploits, including rape and molestation accusations, wear on any wife. Especially as the "porn star" scandal revealed that Trump engaged in sexual activities while Melania was a new mother to their son, Barron.

Others say yes, that even if she whispers in her husband's ear, she likely is acting as a scapegoat for other, more influential people in the administration.

Others say yes, that even someone who entered into a marriage of this nature should still get a chance at redemption. Who knows what atrocities are threatened in her pre-nup should she terminate the marriage?

Both sides seemingly have endless arguments for their respective beliefs. Even more don't give a flying f**k.

What do you think? Should we #SaveMelania?

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.
