Sporting News

As I hope you are all aware, Brock Turner has recently been released from prison. After being sentenced a measly 6 months in federal prison for rape; Brock Turner was released for "good behavior" after only serving 3 months. To give you all a little perspective, here are 20 things that last longer than Turner's prison sentence:

1. Summer vacation

2. Figuring out how to properly put together IKEA furniture

3. Growing out bangs

4. Christmas decorations available for purchase

5. Breaking in a new pair of shoes

6. Teaching your grandparents anything about technology

7. Finding the missing Lego piece under the couch

8. A Bathroom Renovation

9. A boy to tell you how he feels about you

10. A box of tampons

11. The warranty on my phone

12. Most Leases

13. Fine Cheeses

14. A middle school relationship

15. Your toothbrush

16. Taylor Swift's relationships

17. Being approved to adopt

18. Traveling to the West by covered wagon

19. For Fudge to realize Voldemort was really back

20. The average rapist sentencing

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the average sentencing for rapists is 9.75 years. It is amazing to me that in this day and age the serverity of a heinous crome such as rape can be held with such little regard. It's the 21st century, the world should not be a place where rapists do not fear retribution. Until the punishment actually fits the crime, how can we call it justice?

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.

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.
