Who Said It, Donald Trump Or Your Drunk Uncle?

Everyone has that drunk uncle, but this holiday season I can't tell if it's him or Trump.

Donald Trump has without a doubt become the biggest topic on most social media platforms since his campaign started. There is no way to log into Twitter or Facebook, turn on the television, without being reminded of something Trump has said, done, or is doing.

Quite frankly, I find Trump to be rather amusing but not particularly in a good way.

Truly this guy does not even try to be funny, but I find myself eye-rolling and laughing at everything he does, whether it is the video of him drinking water (if you haven’t seen it do you a favor and watch that) or trying to pronounce Puerto Rico. As the holiday season approaches and I can’t get away from hearing about Donald Trump, I am sitting here thinking about how he is undeniably like the drunk uncle at family gatherings that leaves everybody somewhere between uncomfortable and slightly amused.

For one, both are out of control president and the out of control uncle have absolutely no filter. I mean we have now heard Trump speak poorly of our own citizens, people of other religions and mock disabled reporters, clearly words with no thought nor platform behind them, the same way we have all heard our uncle bring up his poorly backed political opinions in the middle of dinner and attacking anybody who does not agree or points out a flaw in the argument a “ridiculous liberal.”

Strikingly similar in the art of attacking anybody who remotely disagrees with them but the worst part seems to be you cannot argue with them because like the saying goes, you can’t argue with an idiot. Trump's comments about his daughter and women, in general, are eyebrow-raising, to say the least.

Realistically, we all have the uncle who says eyebrow-raising things about women and makes you remember why you only talk to him on holidays.

Let’s play a little game called where we guess who said what, the drunk uncle or the 45th president of The United States!

1. “Grab her by the pu**y…”


2. “If she can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?”

3. “26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?”

4. “It must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees.”

If you guessed Donald Trump for all of these, congratulations! Although I could have thrown a couple quality uncle quotes in there, I just could not stop with the Trump quotes and sadly this is about 4 out of 1000 cringe-worthy things he has said about women.

A personal favorite of mine is they both have the whole “You’re in America, learn to speak English” mentality. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but um, there is no official language in America and the best part is Trump, as well as uncles across the country, have butchered the English language about 450 too many times.

You’d truly think that Mr. Trump would have somebody to check his tweets before he sends them out, but apparently that would make way too much sense, I mean nothing is sensical about 2017 in his defense.

Some favorite English errors of mine are “I ain’t no liberal” which is…wow… the most drunk uncle thing I have ever heard followed by a close second of Trump spelling “unprecedented” as “unpresidented.”

At least he tried to sound it out?

Or spelling “their” as “there” and “wasted” as “waisted.” Come on, my 12-year-old sister has better grammar than that. Frankly, I could go on and on about the mind blowing and uncanny similarities between them, but the point has been made.

Both Trump and intoxicated uncles are armed heavily with opinions, a loud voice and terrible grammar, the holidays are a time to remind you why you stopped turning on the news and do not call your uncle 364 days out of the year.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
