Trump Trumps Hillary

If you are one of the millions of people devastated by Hillary Clinton’s recent loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, you aren’t alone. In the time since November 8th, many have taken to social media to voice their sorrows on Clinton’s loss. What seemed like a sure fire win for Ms. Clinton turned into a nightmare for many.

If you are one of the millions of people overjoyed by Donald Trump’s recent win in the 2016 Presidential Election, you aren’t alone. In the time since November 8th, many have taken to social media to voice their excitement about Trump’s win. What seemed like an accepted defeat for Mr. Trump turned into quite the different reality.

Whether you were supporting Trump or Clinton in the election, the reality is that Trump is going to replace Barack Obama as our president. It’s time to accept America’s fate and have faith in our next leader. While Trump is brash and didn’t have the gentlest approach or appeal to voters, he will have the best interests of Americans at the palm of his hands for the next four years. Did Hillary try to appeal to the middle class better….absolutely. Did she have more political experience….without a doubt. But is that to say that she would do a better job than Donald Trump….no. Trump is not in office yet and there is no telling what the upcoming years will have in store.

For all we know, Donald Trump’s years of business skills, world wide connections, and outgoing personality could actually benefit the United States. The collective groan that comes with the name Trump in nearly half of the American population is premature at best. By proclaiming “Not my President”, the American people are simply showing a disconnected nation that in turn, shows weakness to external and internal threats. Instead of mourning a politician’s loss or celebrating their victory, we should be celebrating America, and not just on Fourth of July with hot dogs and fireworks. The United States is a pretty awesome country with deeply rooted values, and no political figure can change the passion of the people.

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.
