Walking over the Lexington avenue bridge at Hunter College I overheard a brief conversation of a few undergraduate students. One of the students said, “So guys, Donald trump?” Another student quickly responded saying, “ He is dumb," and the group of friends started laughing. I stayed around not to be a creep but to listen to the conversation following her comment. Unfortunately, there was no conversation relating to Donald trump. Somehow the conversation switched to the new Chinese restaurant on 72nd.

According to an article on U.S News only 49% of young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 voted in the presidential campaign. Let me repeat: only 49% of young adults voted in the presidential campaign of 2012. I believe that this is why voter turn-out among young adults is so low; young adults have points of view without evidence or reasoning.

So in an effort to help increase the number of young adult voters, here are 10 Donald Trump quotes that highlight his position on certain policy issues. You should know about these before you make a decision about his mental capacity. Furthermore, have a conversation about why you believe what you believe. Without a following conversation, your statement “He is dumb” is irrelevant, just like a thesis without any supports.

  • Ban late abortions; exceptions for rape, incest or health. (Jun 2015)
  • No gay marriage; no same-sex partner benefits. (Mar 2011)
  • Legalize drugs and use tax revenue to fund drug education. (Apr 2011)
  • Climate change is a hoax. (Jun 2015)
  • I am against gun control. (Feb 2011)
  • We need wall on Mexican border, but ok to have a door in it. (Aug 2015)
  • Half of the undocumented residents in America are criminals. (Jun 2015)
  • Let “saints” help teen moms; restrict public assistance. (Jul 2000)
  • If debt reaches $24T, that's the point of no return. (Jun 2015)

And finally..

  • If I run and win, our country will be great again. (Feb 2011)

So you are the one to decide whether or not Donald Trump is dumb. Hopefully the rest of the 51% of young adults stand up for what they believe in and realize they do have the power to take action and more importantly it is not only their right but also their duty to do so.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
