6 Political Comedy Segments To Figure Out What The Hell Is Going On
HBO

Are you feeling a little overwhelmed with the current national political scene? Are you feeling frustrated and annoyed with certain politicians and perhaps a certain president? Let these comedy segments inform you on what's going on, and perhaps help you laugh a little at the same time. Things will still suck after you've watched them, but at least you had fun for ten minutes! If you want to watch the video, click the picture and follow the link!

1. On all the sexual misconduct

"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert"

As Colbert says, he is now "one of the few men still allowed on television," and he's getting alarmingly close to the truth. Also, damn, Matt Lauer. I never saw that coming.

2. On net neutrality

"Last Week Tonight With John Oliver"

This video is from May because that was the last time the FCC tried to take away Internet freedom. It's still relevant and informative, though.

3. On net neutrality AND all the sexual misconduct


"Late Night with Seth Meyers"

Because why not have both?

4. On the current Russia investigation happenings


"Late Night With Seth Meyers"

If I have to hear about American politicians colluding with Russians, at least I can get it from my man Seth.

5. On the GOP tax bill

"The Daily Show with Trevor Noah"

The title of this video is "The GOP Gives America's Neediest Millionaires a Tax Break," which I think really just says it all.

6. On baby animals!

Just so you can finish this article on a happy note!

Hopefully, these videos will be a quick, educational pick-me-up. Good luck keeping informed and staying optimistic about the future of our country at the same time. If you figure out how to do that, could you let me know?

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.

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.
