8 Of The Best SNL Skits Of The Past Decade

NBC

1. “Meet Your Second Wife”

Every time I see this, I cry tears of joy because Amy and Tina have the best chemistry ever. Sure, it was a little gutsy, and some people thought it went a tad bit too far. But, honestly, I thought everything about this sketch was perfect.

2. “The Beygency”

As a die-hard Beyonce fan, I 100% support because THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISRESPECT BEYONCE. Caution, though: this trailer is rated NC-17 “for mild language against Beyonce.”

Also, look at: “The Day Beyonce Turned Black”

Funny because this exaggerated parody isn’t that far off from white America’s reaction to Beyonce’s “Formation” video.

“Maybe this song isn’t for us.”

“BUT USUALLY EVERYTHING IS!”

3. “Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton”

Let’s be honest: Tina Fey sunk Sarah Palin’s career. Wait, actually, more like Sarah Palin sunk Sarah Palin’s career (and John McCain’s presidential campaign, for that matter). And, Amy Poehler’s HRC impression is pure gold. 2008 was a great year for Tina and Amy.

“I can see Russia from my house!”

4. “Palin Endorsement Cold Open”

Seriously, how is she so good at this? Tina Fey is better at playing Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin is at playing Sarah Palin.

5. “Hillary, Actually”

Okay, Kate McKinnon is probably one of the most, if not the most, talented SNL members in history. From Ellen Degeneres to Justin Bieber, Kate can slay any character impression with her acting skills, but her Hillary Clinton impression is probably the most accurate of them all.

6. Literally any of the 2016 presidential election skits, debates and all.

Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump? Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton? Larry David as Bernie Sanders? No matter whose side you were on this election, you’ll cherish these sketches forever.

And, here’s a classic from Larry as Bernie, probably one of the best sketches from Season 41.

7. “Voters For Trump Ad”

SNL fake ads are always on fire, but this one really takes the cake. Look, we all know that many Trump supporters aren’t racist, but it’s no secret that Donald Trump’s rhetoric has tapped into some of America’s white supremacist roots, leading to some racist violence at Trump rallies across America.

8. “Election Night”

LOL, did you guys really think that Donald Trump’s victory was a surprise? Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock sure didn’t.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
