13 Times Samantha Bee Accurately Described Our Reactions To The Trump Administration
Wired

It has been a difficult month coping with Donald Trump's presidency. Luckily, we have comedian Samantha Bee to perfectly capture our reactions to the Trump Administration's first month in the White House.

1. On November 9th, 2016.

Seriously, how?

2. When Trump was inaugurated.

3. When the Women's March in Washington had three times as many people as the inauguration.

4. When Trump signed the Executive Order to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

5. When Steve Bannon, former executive chairman of alt-right news publication "Breitbart," was added to the administration's National Security Council.

Steven Bannon reportedly helped craft the administration's ban on Muslim immigration. Breitbart News is known as being a nationalist, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigration publication. It is home to online editor Milo Yiannopolous, a man who considers hate speech to be synonymous with free speech.

6. When the White House deleted all references to "Climate Change" and "Global Warming" on their website.

**cries because where will we live when the planet is destroyed**

7. When Trump said in his press conference, "Number 1: I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. Number 2: racism. The least racist person."

I wish I was making this up. I really do.

8. When, in that same press conference, Trump defended his incorrect information about his win being "the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan" (which is, of course, false) by saying "I was given that information. I don't know. I was just given... well, I don't know."

Alright. Trump ranked 45 out of the past 58 US presidential campaigns in regards to the number of Electoral College votes received. Yet, he continuously claims that it was the biggest win since Reagan? Trump, serious question: If the same people who gave you that information told you to resign, would you? (Asking for a friend.)

9. When Kellyanne Conway constructed an entire lie, the "Bowling Green Massacre," to defend Trump's travel ban.

10. When the Department of Education spells W.E.B. Du Bois' name wrong in a tweet and then incorrectly spells the word "apologies" as "apologizes" in the tweet after.

Sup, Betsy DeVos. How's it going?

11. When Trump says he will hire the "best people, the smartest people" and will "drain the swamp," yet he brings on advisors like Flynn, Pruitt, and DeVos...

Or, when he says he will build a wall. And make Mexico pay for it. Still.

12. Every time Donald Trump says the words "huge," "tremendous," "Make American Great Again," "total disaster," "believe me," etc...

13. Finally, when Trump threatened to take away federal funds from UC Berkeley over Twitter.


Oh, yes please take away federal funds from the #1 public research university in the world. Youwon't make America great by undermining its greatest institutions.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
