5 Remote Places To Move To If Donald Trump Becomes President

If you're anything like me, you enjoy living in the United States. Besides the wage gap, institutionalized racism, rape culture, wonky justice system, sexism, weird obsession with assault weapons, hate for feminists, immigrants or anyone that isn't a rich white man... well, hey, we all have our faults (feel free to call me a dirty communist at this point, if you have the urge to). Compared to the less savory countries we could have wound up in, the U.S. of A. is pretty legit.

But there's one new potential fault looming over the U.S.A.: Donald Trump. His presence in the presidential race amplifies all of the other faults of the United States, because he speaks of them not as faults, but as jokes or things that are self-inflicted, harmless or are only problems because people have thin skin. Not only are his comments hateful and derogatory, but they cause him to be popular with a small minority of individuals, and are begrudgingly waved aside by those who feel forced to endorse him because of partisanship.

You all know about Donald Trump. And if you have joked with your friends that you're "Leaving the country if the Donald gets elected!" but there was a little more truth to the joke than you'd like to admit, I've hunkered down, done some leg work and found some of the most remote places in the world to move to if Donald Trump encapsulates all of your worst fears.

1.Ivujivik, Quebec

Sure, it's cold and little, but it's way out of reach of humanity (or Donald Trump). With a high unemployment rate and accessibility problems, it might not deserve to be our first contestant, but it's a start.

2. Ittoqqortoormiitt, Greenland.

Incredibly cold, small and isolated, this may be your ideal get-away. Especially if you enjoy hunting, because this little slice of frozen paradise relies heavily on hunting and fishing. You may bump into an occasional polar bear, but if we're going for the lesser of two evils...


3. Puerto Williams, Chile.

Possibly the most scenic yet, Puerto Williams also lacks polar bears, but makes up for it with a larger population, and a Chilean naval base. The town claims to be the "world's southernmost city," which makes for sweet bragging rights. The climate stays relatively cool year round, and is incredibly close to the South Pole, adding to the possible appeal of this little place.

4. Cooladdi, Australia.

This might be the worst one yet! There seems to be absolutely nothing to do, Polar Bears are replaced with scary creepy-crawlies and Australia is definitely hot. There are also only four residents, and I'm not too sure how they would feel about taking in American refugees...

5. Svalbard, Norway.

Back to the cold and polar bears, Svalbard is technically a group of islands. So this is basically the island escape of your dreams, right? This is also the considered the Northernmost place in the world, with lots of glaciers and snow. OK, maybe not the ideal island getaway, but I doubt the Donald will be venturing here anytime soon.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
