20 More Protest-Worthy Causes Than The Trump Administration That You Should Support Right Now

Flickr

We've all seen the recent protests happening around D.C. as a response to the new Trump administration. While the majority of protests have been peaceful, some have been a little... destructive to say the least. This got me thinking: we can't do anything to change the fact that Donald Trump is our 45th president, so instead of protesting his administration, why not put our energy into other causes that we can (possibly) change? Here are 20 causes that are more worthwhile to protest than the Trump administration:

1. The fact that guac costs extra at Chipotle.

Is it just me or does it keep getting more and more expensive each time?

2. The fact that Taylor Swift hasn’t dropped an album in FOREVER.

Girl, enough with your DIRECTV nonsense, throw me some new break-up songs, boo.

3. The fact that Luke Pell isn’t the Bachelor.

He was robbed!

4. ...and that Chad was able to stay on Jojo’s season for so long.gags

5. States that have “brothel laws” which keep sororities from having houses.

So archaic.

6. Gen-ed requirements.

Why do I have to take philosophy? Lame.

7. That Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays.

That’s literally when I crave it most.

8. How SoulCycle doesn’t have some kind of membership.

$35 a class is cray.

9. The fact that Lily Pulitzer makes super cute clothes but they’re so expensive.

$85 for shorts? Nah.

10. People who still have their Christmas lights up.

It’s nearly February, come on now.

11. The fact that women’s restrooms always have ridiculous lines and the men’s room is always empty.

12. The fact that Sam Smith hasn’t released an album since 2014.

Come on, baby.

13. How girls in makeup tutorials slay their faces and then when I try I look like Ronald McDonald.

My “contour” has me looking like the Joker.

14. The obscenely high prices of movie tickets.

What's that about?!

15. American Airlines.

Everything about them is awful.

16. How Wendy's is somehow always out of nuggets and never fails to mess up my order.

I said no mayonnaise like eight times, bro.

17. How Taylor Swift's music still isn't available on Spotify.

I thought she loved her fans?

18. How GamePigeon doesn't have hangman yet.

Are you kidding me?

19. How Facebook and Instagram alert you when someone decides to "Go Live."Just stop.

20. How Starbucks seasonal drinks are the best thing about that place but are only available for so short a time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
