Can trumps tiny orange hands hold this nation together?

Have you ever had a baby cousin or brother and sister that was always confident in want they wanted to do? It’s always good to hear the hopes and dreams of children because they’re always so big and you hope to God they achieve it one day. But, have you also had problems with that child? The kinds where you start to doubt and wonder if these kids will make it in this big world? Maybe they’re too bratty. They’ll grow out of it you’ll say. Maybe they’re just a bit to self-centered. Their just kids. It comes with youth is another thing you may think. But they may also be just a bit too confident in their work. It’s not a terrible thing for them to say they’ll achieve their goals but when children suddenly don’t get over ‘not winning’ or when they do win they act high and mighty then there’s a problem. The likelihood that they will get over this centered frame of mind is pretty high actually. Many kids grow out of this faze knowing, in the end, that that is not how people should act. Well, unfortunately, some kids don’t. They’ll grow up being these angry, horrible, decrepit people that can’t seem to look beyond themselves or will blame others for their misfortunes, even though it’s clearly their fault. Take our president for instance.

There’s nothing wrong with being proud of your work. Nothing feels better than getting a project done. But its best to not boast about it. You could come off as rude. Don’t tell that to Donny though. His ego may break and he’ll have to send out a flurry of 140 character posts on Twitter. Best not get on his bad side or he’ll talk down to you or post false claims. For instance, the most famous of his latest tweets say “How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!” This is quite the claim! Any proof to back this up would be a great addition to the tweet but, as said before, the man can only type at 140 characters a post so we’re left with little information on the subject. However, Trump is, or should I say was, a business man. This is how he works on a daily basis, quick short shots of baseless information to get the person’s eye. If you want to get any more material then you must do the research yourself. A brief Google search revels the tweet was based off a New York Times article “Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides”. Nowhere in the paper does it say Obama wiretapped trump. It’s almost as if he skimmed through the account, or only looked at the title then decided to talk about it as if he knew what he was saying. This isn’t the only insolent tweet he’s posted. He’s remarked on celebrates, talked bad about reputable companies, and made personal jabs at his own citizens, all to the public.

Not only does he target people who don’t deserve his ridicule but he’s also made some promises that are less than ethical. As many people know Trump wants to build a wall on the borders between the United States and Mexico. The accusations he makes against the Mexican people are that they cause problems for his citizens because they come into the USA illegally and cause crime. The truth of the matter is that first generation immigrants don’t actually cause more crime than USA citizens. In reality, it’s the native-born people that cause more crime, and I’m not talking about Native Americans I mean people who were born in the United States. So yes, that does mean that children of immigrants are in this but doesn’t mean they are the only cause for crime. His fears have no merits. They are founded upon old thoughts that never worked and will never work. You know who also has fears don’t make sense? Children.

Now, I’m not saying he can’t have opinions. He can say whatever he wants. After all he is running a country where that is the first amendment. But I think as president he should have more restraint. A man with such power shouldn’t be going around making false accusations unless he wants opposition, which there is plenty of for the man. I will say this. He has not done everything he said he was going to do. Somethings were thrown away. Still, in my own opinion, not enough was thrown away. Maybe his bigoted point of views and if that can’t be changed then please take away his twitter. Maybe someone should go back in time and teach the man some manners.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
