"The Fake News Awards" Hosted By President Donald Trump Himself

What's more credible than Trump calling you a liar?

Trump is starting out the year in problematic fashion; from the release of the book "Fire and Fury", questions about his mental health, and even his derogatory comments towards African and Haitian citizens immigrating to America. But compared to those events, a fairly humorous and unbelievable tweet came from Trump's account.

Trump tweeted out that the Fake News Awards would be presented on January 17th and that there is high anticipation for these fictional awards.

The problem with that is that these "awards" are completely biased, and will just exploit the things Trump doesn't like. For now, the recipients are completely anonymous, but many people who are on the news platform are creating ads for a shot at an award for Trump.

Superstars Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah both created "For Your Consideration" ads so they can be recognized by the president and to receive a nomination for fake categories like "Fakest Dishonesty" or "The Eric Trump Memorial Award of Fakeness". Though the awards themselves don't officially have names or titles, the Fake News Awards will definitely have the title as the stupidest thing a president has ever done.

These are just articles and claims Trump feels personally offended about. The fake news trend has been a staple of Trump's campaign and his current presidency, and the fake news awards is a new way platform for the president to express his feelings to the country in a non-ethical way.

From CNN to individual people, the so-called "winners" have been "disproven" with a combination of tweets, exclamation points, and words typed in all caps.

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.
