SNL Election Skits
National Review

Throughout the elections, the NBC show Saturday Night Live (SNL) have performed various skits portrayed both candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Some of the most discussed skits were the debates because the actors were able to perfectly portray both candidates and even give the audience something to laugh at. The highlights of these skits were the denial of deleted emails from Clinton’s account. The most outstanding bits were how ridiculous Trump would act specially because he wouldn’t specify his political ideas.

Now that the election is over and Trump is president-elect SNL decided to create another skit in which Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Donald Trump in which the audience was able to get a glimpse of how Trump will act once he’s in office. The president-elect wasn’t so happy with this representation because he took yet again, to Twitter to express his opinion.

“I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show – nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?” he tweeted.

Actor Alec Baldwin was not quiet and answered him stating that the election is over and now people will respond to how he tries to be president. Once again this makes us wonder why the country elected him as president. The show was just trying to have a good time and show a funny side to the elections. As the president-elect he should be more professional and not react so poorly to comedy. Politicians can also be portrayed in a humorous way.

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.

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.
