"DON'T PRESS SEND!"

Social Media.

The proletariat version of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Social media is often a place where people flock to in order to keep up with what is going on in the world, something some president takes to the fucking extreme:

It is no secret that President Trump, two words that continue to sound as well together as “Bundt Cake” or “Clean Usher,” uses Twitter to keep the unwashed masses informed of what his administration is accomplishing right now. Still no word on whether or not he planned to defeat ISIS within 60 days, or build the wall, or repeal and replace Obamacare. So, it looks like he’s right in line with every politician that has graced the D.C. area. Something Joe Walsh seems to take a lot of pride in:

Trump being the most open and honest liar ranks right up there with O.J. Simpson being the most well-behaved murderer in prison. Twice.

But, it’s not necessarily the lying that goes on that has decreased his approval rating in the U.S. and the Democratic Party. 49% of Republicans say his Tweeting is sending the wrong message to world leaders. Half of the GOP believes it is a risky way to communicate to the world. AND 57% say it is a response to what he sees on TV. Which leads me to one conclusion: half the GOP has Game of Thrones set on the DVR, want to be in their second bubble, and not have to worry about Trump spoiling the fact that Cersei and Daenery’s reunion will be met with the same reunion he has with Tiffany.

That is among the several other Tweets that Trump may send, along with his claims that Twitter made him president (Putin’s pissed about that), or that his use of Twitter isn’t Presidential—IT’S MODERN DAY PRESIDENTAL! Yeah, modern day presidential Tweeting is defined by this:

Holy shit, a NINE-MINUTE gap between THOSE TWO TWEETS; Even Ryan Seacrest would tell you the results after the break in a shorter amount of time. His first Tweet got military leaders at the Pentagon very nervous about what Trump was going to do with the military.

Entrusting somebody like a Donald Trump with Twitter alone, as we all know, is the equivalent of leaving O.J. alone with your set of steak knives.

Come to think of it, he could be the new Secretary of Defense.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
