Christmas with the Trumps

Although college students are hopped up on caffeine and no sleep while getting ready for finals, other people in the world are preparing for the holiday season. As I was scrolling through Facebook drinking my chai tea yesterday morning, I was bombarded with posts about the royal engagement but then I came across an interesting video.

Melania Trump has finished decorating, primping, and polishing the White House to welcome the whimsical feeling of this wonderful season. The White House was breathtakingly beautiful. With a large White House Gingerbread replica and the landscape of a winter wonderland of anyone's childhood dreams, the White House is ready for Christmas.

I couldn't help but praise Melania for a moment not for her taste in men but for her taste in classy holiday decorum fit for the President of the United States.

However, the media ripped her apart for acting like she had done it all herself in the White House video. The video showed Melania tying bows and monitoring how each piece of the decorations was placed. Well, she clearly can't tie a bow and she really didn't know what she was doing as far as the decorations, ornaments, and trees. It was clear to see by her body language and because of this, the media was not happy whatsoever.

I still sympathize with Mrs. Trump. Granted, she may not have put every ornament on the tree or frosted the gingerbread house, but the vision of how the White House would look was hers. There is no possible way that one person could decorate the White House. It's not humanly possible, and if she tried, she would be ready by next Christmas. Every year, the White House hires professional decorators to help carry out the First Lady's vision. Melania was no different but her vision was old-fashioned, vintage, and made me truly in awe. I don't think that the media had any right to criticize her when previous First Ladies have not been scrutinized so heavily. She is not her husband, and the display at the White House is truly spectacular. Grab you a chai latte and sip on that.

Is Social Media News Dangerous?

Image
We spend countless hours scrolling through our Facebook accounts, Twitter feeds, Instagrams, and Snapchats. Has all of this scrolling impacted how we view the world and find out what's happening? An increasing number of people are stating that they use social media as their primary source for news. In a changing world, should this fact be scary or normal? The cup's a little half empty, half full about this situation. Part of me is a little scared of this fact simply because I understand how much "fake news" exists and how gullible people can be. I will formally raise my hand for being gullible and clicking the link that supposedly goes to the article about Channing Tatum getting a divorce. No, he is still married. Yes, I did feel like an idiot. Also, my fiance got a little offended. The "fake news" can be a little humorous when it's something like that. However, when the news sounds real, looks real, and feels real, people are most likely going to be...

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria

Image
Hurricane Maria completely devastated Puerto Rico and left a trail of devastation, fatalities, and no resources to this country. Although Maria has lost strength and is only a tropical storm, now we must try to help those in the middle of the ruins of Puerto Rico. The question is: How do you solve a problem like Maria? (Of course, this is a song from The Sound of Music used in a completely different context but...) You solve a problem like Maria by doing our best as a country to help those in need get the resources that are necessary in order to survive. When Hurricane Irma left Florida and Georgia with serious damage, resources such as clean water, linemen, food, temporary shelter were given to these people because Americans take care of each other. When Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas, Americans and the President were ready to help others recover from the devastation. However, as Puerto Rico has suffered Hurricane Maria, Trump has only held a press conference saying our tho...

Supporting Trans Individuals and Taking A Stand

Image
Recently, Gen. Dunford, the top US general, said that policies will not change regarding transgender individuals serving in the military. Controversy surrounds the idea of those who are transgender no matter what topic we're talking about. Look at the Target bathroom scare that happened recently. Honestly, I'm more scared of using a public restroom because of what might be lurking in the toilet or the door handle than who's using the stall next to me. Anyways, controversy follows those who choose the transgender lifestyle for reasons that I don't understand especially when trying to serve in the military. The media paints two very different pictures of those who are transgender according to which channel you're on. A more conservative outlet paints them as freaks who will rape our children and ruin our country. I'm sorry but no that's not accurate at all. A more liberal outlet will portray them as people who are just trying to live their lives. Yeah, tha...
