Why Inauguration Day Was the Biggest Change and Corruption for America

It's all come to this, and it's not going to be pretty

Why Inauguration Day Was the Biggest Change and Corruption for America
Twitter

As America takes a huge gulp and moves forward towards one of the biggest changes it's ever had to endure, half the country looks down in shame, and the other half is a bit too excited for reasons that leave many confused. As President Trump arrives in D.C., many gather together in hopes of displaying their last attempt of displaying their disapproval towards him before he's actually president, and the protests had been forming way before the actual inauguration, in hopes of sending one last message before Trump was officially president.

And on January 20, multiple protestors all with different purposes took a stand alongside each other, but not all supporting one another. There was a women's march, which hundreds of thousands of men and women joined in the hope of establishing better human rights in our society. There was the anti-Trump protestors, and his supporters clashed in DC Saturday. In case it isn't already plain, not to mention shocking, I would argue Trump's Inauguration Day was by far the most historic.

At over 2.6 million people, the Women's March will go down in history and broke a record for largest group walking. If there's one, big message to take away from Inauguration Day, and all the following events, it's that America has a lot of action to take, and that we are far from everyone ideal and peaceful world. Hopefully, the violence and despair will turn towards more positive actions, but judging by the way people reacted, it will continue long after the inauguration. Half of America is still practically at war with the other half, and on Saturday, the season finale of the horrific election concluded all the built-up emotions, all of the different opinions, and ultimately what this country has truly turned into. Right now, America needs to stay strong, but these next few years are going to be a battle for many of us.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
