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.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
