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.

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.
