Sean Spicer Was Not Mocked On Saturday Night Live; He Was Accurately Portrayed!

Last week Saturday Night Live or "SNL" has been having an explosive year both with viewership and quality comedic content. In 2017 SNL is having its greatest season since season 20, and is up 22 percent over last year (10.6 million vs. 8.7 million). Not only are they doing well in terms of viewership their comedy is really taking heavy swings at the Trump administration. Dressing Steve Bannon up as grim reaper felt quite fitting, along with Trump being sat at the "baby" desk entertained by a mere child's toy. Beautifully fits his personality and vocabulary/speaking skills which test in at about a third grade level. While it was funny it was nothing compared to the Sean Spicer's press conference skit. For those who do not follow politics Sean Spicer has been appointed to be Trump's white house press secretary. In this job Sean addresses the press almost daily on events unfolding in America's top office. However Sean unlike a lot of past white house secretary is a little more unpredictable. Known for shouting at reporters and saying some pretty outrageous things. For reference please watch the SNL skit below.


Although SNL takes his actions a little over the top the real Sean Spicer is not that much different than Melissa McCarthy's impression. For instance in SNL's skit Melissa (playing as Spicer) goes in depth about how much love and attention was shown at Trump's inauguration. Funny enough I have found video of the REAL Sean Spicer acting in a pretty similar fashion, being overly dramatic in his descriptions of Trump's inauguration. This video was taken during a real white house press conference, no wonder Melissa McCarthy's impression was so good, she basically copied the real Sean Spicer!


If you start the video at 2:30 you will see Mr. Spicer start ranting about how Trump's inauguration was the biggest ever. Later he on he brags that "people stood to show their patriotism for Donald's presidency. It's sad... Trump and his team knows their approval rating is sinking, currently sitting at 43% and is the worst rating ever for a new president. So they are trying to change the public opinion by screaming their own opinion as loud as they can. It proves they have the mentality of a child. That being said I look forward to this coming weekend featuring Alec Baldwin, Saturday Night Live's Trump impersonator. I am sure I will not be the only one monitoring Trump's twitter account on Saturday night and Sunday morning as I am sure Trump will not like whatever SNL is cooking up. Make sure you tune into NBC this Saturday to see sparks fly, and potentially predator drones if Trump gets to upset!

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.
