Trump's 'Plan' To Defeat ISIS

The travesty of Trump's attack on ISIS.

It has been 150 days at the time of writing since Trump was officially made our president. Now things haven't become the dystopian world that many of us thought it would. Granted we aren't living in vaults, and living out all the other aspects of the Fallout games that I will not list, but there is a lot to be desired. In particular, a lot of the promises he has made. Most notably the crap show going on with Comey really leaves some integrity to be desired, and also the trip he took abroad was overshadowed by the leak that foreign leaders were prepping to serve his favorite meals, use slides with more pictures and less information, and scheduling "down time" AKA nap time into the president's schedule. It really does seem like Geoffrey Baratheon is in the White House.

If only George R. R. Martin could somehow comment on whether or not his character would act in such a way. He has? You can read it here? Well, there you go. You can see what I mean when I say there is a lot left to be desired. Jesus, there is a wing of Vice News right now which exclusively tracks each day of Trump's Presidency. Seriously I'm not lying, and every single day there is a scandal. And you can read these scandals here. The administration is kind of comical. Especially the plan to defeat ISIS. This is perhaps the greatest point that demonstrates the voluntary ignorance many Trump supporters are taking. So in 2016 when Trump bragged about his 30-day plan to defeat ISIS, people ate it up. Guess what? It's been 150 days. This leaves us with two options. (1) He was lying to all of you, he is a con artist, and he duped you. (2) He doesn't think ISIS is a big enough deal to get around to it. I mean, if he did, then he would have taken his 30-day plan and the Manchester and London attacks would have never have happened. But if he isn't a con artist, I guess he would rather just watch people die. No? Ok so then he does have a 30-day plan? No? OK, so he was lying? He was using rhetoric? Do you see how confusing this is?!

I'm sorry it's for being so emotional but I've been listening to several things that have really been irking me recently about the President. The reason this article is titled as such is that that instance really serves to demonstrate that he was either lying the entire time or literally has no idea how the government works. Whichever answer you go with, he comes off looking like a jerk or an idiot. Just like he did when he started criticizing the Mayor of London who was trying to make sure that people were not alarmed by the large police presence, AFTER he had urged people to stay away from the areas where the attack had taken place, fully acknowledging the attack. Trump is quite literally a child, and he's far removed from the "lad on tour" politically incorrect character of Winston Churchill, instead, he is an infuriating individual who refuses to listen to facts or anything apart from his own opinion for that matter.

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.

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.
