SNL Election Skits
National Review

Throughout the elections, the NBC show Saturday Night Live (SNL) have performed various skits portrayed both candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Some of the most discussed skits were the debates because the actors were able to perfectly portray both candidates and even give the audience something to laugh at. The highlights of these skits were the denial of deleted emails from Clinton’s account. The most outstanding bits were how ridiculous Trump would act specially because he wouldn’t specify his political ideas.

Now that the election is over and Trump is president-elect SNL decided to create another skit in which Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Donald Trump in which the audience was able to get a glimpse of how Trump will act once he’s in office. The president-elect wasn’t so happy with this representation because he took yet again, to Twitter to express his opinion.

“I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show – nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?” he tweeted.

Actor Alec Baldwin was not quiet and answered him stating that the election is over and now people will respond to how he tries to be president. Once again this makes us wonder why the country elected him as president. The show was just trying to have a good time and show a funny side to the elections. As the president-elect he should be more professional and not react so poorly to comedy. Politicians can also be portrayed in a humorous way.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
