7 Places Not To Move To If Trump Becomes President

I guess this Trump thing is getting pretty serious. Many people are talking about leaving America if he does become president. Whether they're serious or not, there are definitely some places you might want to consider steering clear from if you decide to get on that one way flight.

1. North Korea

Aside from the obvious reasons, if you were trying to escape Trump's reign, North Korea would most likely be the last place you'd want to go. Not only is the country completely bonkers, but North Korea just prompted Trump for president. Fast forward two years with Trump stopping by North Korea to play basketball with Kim Jun Un while North Korea has nuclear missiles pointed at Seoul and Los Angeles.

2. Russia

Since Putin and Trump are basically the same person and going to have the biggest historical bromance, I think it's safe to say that Russia would not be a great place to go if you were trying to escape egocentrism.

3. China

Unless you like communism, China is not the place for you. Trump's constant berating of the Chinese and their government will definitely end in some kind of armed conflict between the two and I'm assuming you wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

4. Syria

So we have people leaving, ISIS killing everyone and destroying everything, Assad making a complete and utter mess out of everything and Russia not doing anything to help, Syria is definitely one you will want to avoid going to.

5. Venezuela

Listed as the most corrupt and least free nation, I don't think any American would be able to call Venezuela a home. Caracas, the capital, has experienced widespread famine over the past few years, and the Venezuelan government is doing nothing to alleviate it. So, if you like you posh, first world lifestyle, Venezuela is not the place for you.

6. Brazil

Brazil just ousted their president after the Petrobras scandal which created a political vacuum and instability in the nation. Let's also not forget that Zika is still at pandemic levels with no cure. I would say that at least you could at least go to the Olympics, but many organizations are calling for the Olympics to be canceled or moved somewhere else.

7. Turkey

Turkey is just fighting with everyone. The Kurds, ISIS, the US sometimes. Known to be a hotbed for terrorism, Turkey is probably one of the least safe places to be right now.

It's clear a lot of other countries do not sound appealing to move to if Trump becomes president. Therefore, this satirical piece was written to make the point that rather than saying you're going to move to another country if Trump becomes president, vote in the election so he never does.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
