Sean Spicer Is NOT Mr. Nice Guy

Some facts you may have forgotten.

Sean Spicer Is NOT Mr. Nice Guy
JP

Sean Spicer surprised us all when he delivered a memorable rendition of himself at the Emmy's. Those of us familiar with Melissa McCarthy's impressions of Spicer on Saturday Night Live, found ourselves caught in a "Who's who?" moment, a further tribute to McCarthy's accurate depiction of Donald Trump's former White House Press Secretary.

This performance was met with heavy contention. People are again asking "Who's who?", but this time it is in regards to Spicer's multiple faces. Could Donald Trump's former Press Secretary actually be a nice guy?

Once upon a time, when he was the Director of Communications for the Republican National Committee, Spicer held disdain for Donald Trump. Trump's statements regarding Mexican immigrants were met with Spicer saying, "Painting Mexican Americans with that kind of a brush, I think that's probably something that is not helpful to the cause." In response to Trump's attack on U.S. Senator John McCain being considered a war hero, Spicer said that "there is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably."

It is understandably easy to forget these comments, especially considering plethora of ridiculous claims made by Spicer once he took on his role of White House Press Secretary. Spicer's laughable support of President Trump's laughable praising of his inauguration crowd size was bewildering. Spicer's former claim to truth had become this absurd and construed construct we now call alternative truth.

With Spicer's former position as head of White House Press, one can comprehend his need to defend whatever his boss is saying. After all, that's quite literally his job. However, it is not wrong to be doubtful of Spicer's actions, even after resigning from his former position.

I am understandably hesitant to welcome Sean Spicer with open arms. Be that as it may, I am hopeful that this reminds people of the lies behind the Trump presidency and the lengths it takes his own team to defend his nonsense.

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.
