Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

We all know about Donald Trump's obscene conversation with Billy Bush from 2005. We also know that the media has done everything in its hands to exploit this and use it against the Republican presidential candidate. Because of that and because everybody should be given the benefit of the doubt, I have compiled a list of reasons that justify Donald Trump's vulgarity.

1. "He's not running to be the Pope"

Thanks for the reminder, Vicki Sciolaro! I forgot that the fact that Donald Trump is just running for president obviously excuses his ignorance.

2. "No woman woke up affected by [his] words."

I guess we should be grateful for our levels of stamina then.

3. "Everybody knew [Donald Trump] had strip clubs, but still the millions of people chose him to be the nominee."

It is now my turn to remind Vicki Sciolaro that those "millions of people" also chose him before learning that he might actually be a sexual predator.

4. Trump's locker room talk is "totally irrelevant" because "I mean, it was so long ago."

Sorry. It's past the imaginary deadline.

5. "Guys in a bar talk that way when they see a pretty girl."

Oh, you mean right before they drug that "pretty girl" and take her home?

6. "That's what boys do."

This comment is not the most disappointing part—the fact that a woman said it is.

7. "One man's sexual assault is another man's flirtation."

Well, that explains everything! All this time, Donald Trump has just been flirting with us! We should all be head-over-heels for him!

8. "He apologized."

Oh, that's a relief!

9. The allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump are not "worth 24/7 coverage."

I totally understand Kellyanne Conway's point. I mean, is not like there are women being raped all around the world 24/7.

10. "I wish I could grab as much p—y as he has."

Don't you worry, sir! As the next president of the United States, Donald Trump might find time to enFORCE a law that makes your wish come true.

While this article can be described as sarcastic, it is not meant to be taken as a joke. It is important to note three things. First of all, these statements were said by real people. Secondly, Trump supporters can vote and will vote. Finally, those of us who cannot overlook and forgive Trump's comments as easily can and should make our vote count.

All of these statements come from various sources, including: an interview by Brooke Baldwin at CNN, a pannel hosted by Don Lemon at CNN, a pannel hosted by Christi Paul at CNN, and various interviews by Jordan Klepper.

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
