Netflix binges, being grounded, and the mustard in the fridge.

12 Things Longer Than Brock Turner's Served Sentence

The uproar that happened after finding out about Brock Turner and his stupid decisions turned this world upside down. So where is all the uproar now, because he is being realized from his short 6 month sentence a whole 3 months early for "good behavior". That is absolutely ridiculous. And just as equally ridiculous here are 11 things that lasted longer than Brock Turner's sentence.

1. A middle school relationship.

Yeah, that's a long relationship for middle school, but trust me, i've seen relationships in 6th and 7th grade that lasted longer than 3 months, which should be a record.

2. That bottle of mustard sitting in the fridge.

Seriously, it's been there well over 3 months, but you just can't seem to get rid of it.

3. That one time you got grounded.

Doesn't matter what you did, what matter's is that it lasted longer than 3 months.

4. A Netflix binge.

Seriously, someone could binge on Netflix longer than Brock Turner's sentence.

5. The nail polish on my nails.

Sometimes, it takes ages for that stuff to come off, definitely over 3 months.

6. A semester of school

Honestly, how is that even remotely fair?

7. Summer Break

Again, totally not fair.

8. That one girl's snapchat story

Seriously, I feel like it takes months to get through that mess.

9. The total amount people sit in traffic for a lifetime.

You read that right. 3 months are spent sitting in traffic. Approximately 38 hours a year.

10. A whole season of American Idol.

One of those seasons last about 120 days. Just let that sink in.

11. A high school football season.

Seriously, boys are playing football longer than a convicted rapist is in prison. Ok.

12. The memory of Harambe.

That whole incident happened in May, it's been over 3 months, and people are still pissed. RIP.

Seems ridiculous right? All these things can last longer than a convicted rapist is in prison, literally unbelievable.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
