6 People Who Spent More Time In Jail Than Brock Turner

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that the Stanford University rapist was released after serving only 3 months of his 6-month sentence. Most people with even a pea-sized amount would find something wrong with this entire situation; however, I decided to help put it into perspective for you. Here are 6 people who were in jail longer than Brock Turner.

1. Stanley Yelnats

Poor little Stanley was sentenced to 18 months at Camp Green Lake after being accused of stealing shoes. Brock Turner was only sentenced to 6 months after it was proven he raped a girl. Yeah, there is something wrong with that.

2. Jean Valjean

Prisoner 24601 stole a loaf of bread and how long was he incarcerated? 19 years. To be fair, he only had 5 years for what he'd done, the rest was because he tried to run. Didn't Brock try to run too? Well, I'm sure the 19 years taught Jean Valjean not to steal bread for his starving family and 3 months taught Brock not to rape unconscious girls.

3. Martha Stewart

Miss Martha served 5 months in prison for lying about a stock sale. That'll teach her not to lie anymore. I'm sure Brock learned his lesson too. Maybe not the right lesson, but I'm sure there was a lesson.

4. Tim Allen

Tim Allen served 15 months in jail for drug trafficking. This is a serious crime and he definitely did the time. Too bad cliches aren't always true. Sometimes even if you do the crime, you only do 3 months of time.

5. Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne spent 5 months in jail for smoking marijuana and possession of an unlicensed firearm. He didn't harm anybody, but those 5 months sure taught him a lesson.

6. Victoria Davis

Okay so to be fair, I don't know the exact amount of time Victoria was sentenced to for lying about the state of Clothes over Bros to investors; however, so much happened while she was gone, it had to be more than 3 months. Either way, lying should not get more time than rape.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
