Let's Discuss The Trump Banner At Disney World

We all want to show our beliefs. We want people to know our opinions and why we are right for having those opinions. It's human nature to think you're right. It's human nature to, well..be jerks. That's exactly what I have to say about some individuals who found themselves holding a "Re-Elect Trump" banner on Main Street in Disney World.

I do not say this just because I am not a Trump supporter. I say this because what were you thinking? Do you realize that those guests walking around Disney World are not there to see that crap? We all argue enough in our daily lives about who deserves to have power and who doesn't, who deserves to be themselves and who should be punished for it. People going to Disney World are trying to escape that, even if it's just for a day.

After reading the comments on the video I noticed how many people were actually in support of these individuals, and, to be frank, it is astounding. There is a clear divide to me between people who support Trump and people who do not and it isn't just in their life values; it's in their attitudes. This act was wildly inappropriate. You would never see someone who didn't support Trump holding up a banner denouncing Trump in all caps at the Happiest Place On Earth.

The funniest part about this whole situation is that fact that these sign-wavers decided to go to a place where over half the people there can't vote! They went to Disney World! Do you want to know the target audience for Disney World? It's children! Most of the people at Disney World are children and tourists from overseas, so not much of a helpful audience to support your case.

Boy, would I have hated to be the cast member who got sent up there to deal with that.

I would understand this move if Disney acted like they were on your side, but they aren't! Last time I checked, there was an entire collection of rainbow merchandise--and, let me tell ya, it's not because Disney has a thing for leprechauns. Man, I remember how those things were flying off of the shelves when they first released. We could NOT keep the tumblers in stock to save our lives--merchandise that supports rights that many Trump supporters don't champion.

During the last election, we were kind of between a rock and a hard place. It's clear that some people just really like making it obvious that they "won."

Congratulations. I'm happy that you're happy. But I'm not happy that some people's lives were turned upside down because of your win.

Comments on the video, like "Trump build that wall!" and "We all need to do this - whenever we can," are slightly disturbing and hard to ignore. It has been reported that the man was banned from the parks, which I think is warranted.

A big problem with the display is that it could have incited conflict, which may have been its purpose from the beginning. Imagine if opposing views got violent. You really think that's appropriate in a place full of children who would have no doubt ended up in the middle of it?

Luckily, nothing like that happened, and, hopefully, nothing like this will ever happen again. Remember, you are always entitled to your views and opinions, and you have the right to speak your mind, but please also remember to do it appropriately and in good taste.

"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.
