So the time has finally come for our 44th president, Barack Obama, to leave the oval office and move on with post-presidency life. Meanwhile, we have a new incoming president, Donald Trump, who has been sworn in. While President Obama has had a couple of terms full of pleasant memories, encouragement, and the rebuilding of America's economy and infrastructure, we will have to move on to Donald Trump's new term in office.

Donald Trump's — or should I refer to him as President Trump's — inauguration ceremony has brought forth much heated backlash from across the nation. Protests happened in many major cities on the day of his inauguration to the lack of attendance and support at his inauguration ceremony. People tuned into Live streams from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see upset people causing riots, damaging property, and antagonizing civilians. Anybody who viewing these events would want to turn off their monitor or exit their mobile app in disgust.

With the negative events that are being said in the news, there are fortunately ways and precautions that you can take to get you mind off of President Trump.

1. Watch Netflix.

Feel free to just BINGE on Netflix for the weekend. The recent events are quite depressing and it is easy to fall into the pit of anxiety for the future so feel free to watch some mind numbing television. Good shows to watch are "A Series of Unfortunate Events," "Bobs Burgers," "Archer," and "Drunk History."

2. Take a trip on the town.

Feel free to call or test your friends and go out for a day on the town. Take your time to see a movie or have a picnic in the park. However, please be careful since there might be small protests and micro rallies that you need to steer clear of.

3. Go on a road trip.

There is something magical about driving that forces you to take your mind off of whatever is bothering you and tells you to keep you mind on the road. Going for a long drive can help your mind focus on getting from point A to point B. Feel free to listen to a podcast to keep your mind driving on the road. A quick trip to the coast should be fun and exciting.

4. Find some books to read.

Reading novels can take your mind off of what is going on, just make sure that they are not news or media publishings. Some good novels to start with are "Ready Player One," "Girl on the Train" (which is also a sub-par movie), and "The Circle."

With the oncoming presidency of Mr. Donald Trump, it is important to not be dragged in the vicious circle of politics and corrrpution and focus more on the artistic and natural world around us.
