Mr. President, This Is America, Not A Game Show

Our president has the mindset of a celebrity.

From his announcements via Twitter to his public speeches, Donald Trump uses the terminology of a television entertainment star. He uses Twitter as one of his main forms of communication to the world, and mostly as personal use rather than presidential.

Instead of formally addressing situations and announcements, he uses tones and mannerisms as if he is in a constant competition with everyone, even after winning the presidential election.

I actually think I have tweeted this once, in middle school.

He draws the wrong type of attention especially coming from his tweets, and Trump, in general, is “entertaining,” which as our leader should be more informing and professional.

Trump praises citizens when they do things the right (his) way.

While also bluntly criticizing them on the media when it doesn’t go his way.


Or just likes to randomly talk sh*t, and give nicknames to political opponents.


It's almost as if we are all in Manhattan currently on the 16th season of “The Apprentice,” but instead of saying “You’re Fired,” he angrily types behind a screen or speaks with improper ridicule towards the subject.

I don’t want to view my president as an entertainment star, I want to see our president as someone to rely on, and make the necessary changes without the irrelevant bashing of others in order to gain stardom.

Everyone has a right to voice their opinions, but when you are the leader of our country, maybe hold back the mocking and mimicking.

He has brought his reality TV show tactics to the White House, and he needs to focus more on his presidential tasks rather than updating his social media.

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.
