January 20, 2017: a day that will live in modern infamy. This is the day that Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America. Many protesters are expected and there will surely be much more security than normal in order to protect, arguably, the most unpopular and most surprising president-elect in American history. Much confusion, doubt, and fear is among many who wonder what the future will hold. However, we are still in the now and there are only a few days left before Trump actually becomes...(barf)...president. Here are the top 10 things to do before the end of a Trump-free America:
10. Get your Canadian citizenship all finalized, move, and prepare to become a hockey fan
9. Unfollow Donald Trump from all your social media outlets, not because you hate being entertained by his ridiculous posts, but because of what your friends will think about you
8. Catch up on all the episodes of Modern Family because you never know when Sofia Vergara may be gone
7. Burn all your copies of Pink Floyd's The Wall because it reminds you so much about the wall Trump may or may not build
6. Kill your pet orangutan because it reminds you too much about Trump's hair and face. You may go to jail, but it will be worth it.
5. Have daily affirmations which involve telling yourself, "At least I'm not like Donald Trump because, doggone it, people like me!"
4. Re-watch Bart Scott's and Richard Sherman's postgame interviews because those will seem normal compared to future Trump addresses
3. Ditch the Donald Trump costume you were planning on wearing next Halloween
2. Start a petition to have Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump switch places (Arnie as President, Trump back to The Celebrity Apprentice)
1. Be consoled by the fact that Trump never destroyed an entire professional sports league...wait...never mind...he did
