T'was the Night Before The Presidential Inauguration

Trump In, Obama Out.

T'was the Night Before The Presidential Inauguration
ComicVine

'Twas the night before the presidential inauguration, when all through the White House

Everyone was stirring, even Obama’s spouse;

The podium was placed on the front lawn with care,

In preparation that Trump soon would be there;

Republicans were nestled all snug in their beds;

While visions of brick walls danced in their heads;

Follower in their 'Make America Great Again' caps,

Had just settle their brains that this election is a wrap,

When out in the Twitter world Trump tweets make a clatter,

I spring to my phone to see what now is the matter.

Away to my Twitter feed, I see with a flash,

Trump discriminating the disabled and treating women like trash.

When what to my wondering eyes did appear,

NOT Hillary's missing emails, the thing we've been looking for all year.

With a heartbroken feeling so real and thick,

I knew in a moment 'I'm going to be sick'.

More rapid than eagles his corrupt cabinet members came,

Trump whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

"Now, Pence! now, Mattis! now Mnuchin and Sessions!

On, Priebus! on, Bannon! on, Flynn and Spicer!"

So down to D.C., the Trump clan flew

In the Trump private jet which was shown landing on the news.

As I drew in my head, what would come of the future,

Across the stage Trump came, carrying a banner.

Dressed in a black suit and a tie the color red,

everything for the inauguration was in place, there were no loose threads.

With a wink of his greedy eyes and a twist of his thin haired head

Soon gave me to know I had everything to dread;

He spoke of his thanks, but then went straight to his bragging,

Humbleness? Something the Trump administration is lagging.

As Obama's family left, he gave his secret service a whistle,

And away they all drove after Trump's dismissal

But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight—

“Obama out". *Drop mic*

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.

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.
