My Reaction To Trump Wasting Time With His 'Hamilton' Twitter War - Complete With 'Hamilton' GIFs

So it appears that our President-Elect isn't feeling the Ham lately. After the cast of Hamilton addressed Vice President-Elect Mike Pence following curtain call and voiced some of their concerns for the future, Trump Tower's own King George flew off the handle on his favorite social media platform:

So... Trump is seemingly taken aback that the multi-racial cast of a show based on the principle that immigrants and minorities share in America's heritage would want to speak up after the show and have a word with the rising second-in-command of the country in these trying times?

Despite the fact that Pence himself didn't really seem to mind the cast's address, Trump has decided to stick to his guns - his shaky, frequently misfiring guns.

Trump's transition manager Kellyanne Conway defended her boss's antics, per usual, asking, "Why do you care?" Uh, gee, I dunno, the guy's gonna be occupying the Oval Office and can't even handle his buddy receiving some pointers from theatre kids.

But, that's neither here nor there. Of course, Trump continues his little feud all without any substance and use. Basically his best shot is an opinion that Hamilton is overrated. Yeah, okay.

What do we all wish we could say to Mr. Trump right now, after this hellish election and all the sh*t he's made us wade through, and now that he's instigating this? Simple:

Here's the thing, soon-to-be 45th President of the United States - your Twitter war days are just about over. Time to start expanding your thoughts, because presidential ideas can't be encapsulated in 140 characters. So, dude, come on, get real and get your head in the game.

You have absolutely no governmental experience (and no, business administration is not just like government administration, whether you like it or not), you're a couple months out from taking office, and you're 'sittin' there useless as two sh*ts' screwing around on Twitter. Man, read some damn books! Read some presidential biographies, political treatises, law review, anything for pity's sake! I could go on and on throwing out suggestions of things you could be doing instead of wasting time on Twitter:

The real Alexander Hamilton was the one who established much of our modern understanding of the Electoral College. He wrote in Federalist No. 68 in March, 1788:

"Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States."

You have earned that 'distinguished office' because, according to Hamilton's plan, you appear to have 'other talents' and a 'different kind of merit.' So how about you get off Twitter, hit the books, and start acting like it.

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.
