Trump Is In Charge Now

Trump is our president now and we have started our journey into a new era. I believe now would be a great time for some optimistic skepticism. Throughout the election cycle, I have been critical of Trump, I did not even vote for him on November 8th. Looking into the future we should be optimistic, though, for we have a republican-controlled house and senate. Former president Obama (I'm going to love saying that) has performed awfully domestically and has been disastrous on a foreign level. America wanted change and now we have it.

On Friday when Trump was sworn in, many leftists flooded the streets of D.C. to attempt to disrupt the inauguration. My favorite part is that they will cry fascism, yet I believe that they do not even know the definition of fascism. Our last great president, Ronald Reagan quoted someone in an interview stating that if fascism were to ever come to America, it would come in the name of liberalism. These protesters need to understand that if they want eight years of Trump, acting like entitled children throwing tantrums because they didn't get their way is one way to get more Trump.

The very next day after the inauguration was the Women's March where they were marching for something and mad about something. I do not care that I am a man giving my thoughts on it, and I am not going to "check my privilege". I need someone to please tell me one right that men have that women don't. I am only asking for one. I would also like to know why a group that represents all women excluded women who are pro-life. It is also hypocritical that one of the Women's March organizers supports sharia law and has ties to Hamas. The Women's March should be called Trump's Reelection Campaign instead. It has been full of hypocrisy and beta males.

The insanity from the left is driving people towards Trump. They will demonize those who supported him while chanting "Love Trumps Hate". The most divisive people have been those on the left and they have not learned their lesson yet. We all have a new president and we all need to allow ourselves to be open to the changes that will occur. We must criticize when necessary and give credit where credit is due. For the past 8 years, democrats have praised Obama on everything no matter how much damage his policies have caused. Republicans need to hold Trump's feet to the fire. I am going to be optimistic while also being skeptical of what lies ahead. You can throw your tantrums and scream "not my president" for however long you want, but honestly, suck it up and act like an adult.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
