I’ll always remember Wednesday, November 9th, 2016. Not because Donald Trump became our president-elect, but because of the aha moment I had surrounded by fellow interns at the office at which I intern. I woke up that morning, making a point to wait until the last possible moment to look at my phone. I knew I would’ve […]
Politics
What Do You Care About? (Part II)
Meet Nik: He’s a senior at Queens College majoring in Neuroscience and Biology. He’s probably one of the most likeable people you’ll ever meet: perfectly willing to express his humanness. Humanness, as in the ability to show who one truly is. If you look closely, you’ll notice that he starts to get a little nervous […]
What Do You Care About?
Meet Clara: She’s a junior at Queens College who cares about her friends and family and fostering relationships between them. I ask her why she doesn’t bring up politics and government: she simply states that it’s because she doesn’t feel like it really affects her. When I hear anyone say this to me, my first […]
While Cruz’s Booger and Trump’s Dick Get the Spotlight
In case you haven’t heard about this, three things happened, two of which are disgusting and absolutely ridiculous. If you don’t know what I’m talking about: Cruz’s booger and Trump’s dick. Let’s all take a moment to think about how the world views us right about now… yeah, don’t worry, I’ve also been researching how […]
Can and Should A Woman be President? (Part 1)
As you all hopefully know, Hillary Rodham Clinton, recently announced that she is running for president as a democratic candidate for our country, the United States of America. All I can think is, wouldn’t it be great to have our first woman president? I can’t seem to think there would be anything wrong with it, […]
Hillary’s “Scandal”
*When I refer to Clinton, I mean Hillary Clinton, NOT Bill Clinton. Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton: we know a lot about her and her promiscuous husband don’t we? But is that who Hillary is? The common adjectives that I’ve heard her described as include: bitch, head-strong, arrogant, wife, lesbian, mother, strong, leader, stubborn, hypocritical, unsuitable, […]
The Solution to Climate Change: Kingsman (Part 2)
Wouldn’t it be really great if the solution to climate change was a small group of attractive british secret agents? I mean just look at the main character from Kingsman: (My heart stopped too, especially with that british accent…) All joking aside, it would be easier of the solution to climate change was either: A “Smart, […]
The Solution to Climate Change: Kingsman (Part 1)
Kingsman? Who are Kingsman? Kingsman: The Secret Service. SPOILER ALERT: I’m about to give you a quick breakdown of the movie Kingsman, and if you haven’t seen it – you really should. Climate change is a global issue that not enough people take seriously, so a powerful man takes it upon himself to change the […]
“Separation” of Church and State: Part 2
So where did we leave off? Oh right… The abuse of religion. What do I mean by the abuse of religion? The ways in which people use religion to achieve specific political goals that come from a place of selfishness, rather than the seeming selflessness that can come with religion. This world here – he, […]
Thanksgiving Dinner and Politics
When trying to figure out what I would write my next blog post on, I thought: hmmm… is there anything I could write about including politics and good ole’ Turkey Day? So I did some research and came across loads of articles expressing the common grave mistake of bringing up politics at the Thanksgiving dinner […]
