Rapist and convicted assailant Brock Turner was released from jail on Friday, September 2, serving only 3 out of the 6 months he was given. Here are 7 things that lasted longer than Brock Turners jail sentence.

1. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito's marriage.

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito's marriage; that Cooper referred to as "just something that happened" lasted four months- one month longer than Turner's time in jail.

2. The presidential election.

We're over 16 month into the election now, and still have some time to go.

3. A school semester.

A single semester is usually about four months long. One month longer than Turner served. Maybe that's why they refer to him as "Former Stanford student" instead of rapist.

4. A professional sports seasons.


Turner also is often referred to as a "swimmer" rather than a convicted assailant, maybe that's because a swim season or any sports season is longer than the time he spent behind bars.

5. The condiments in my fridge.

I'm pretty sure I've got ketchup older than rapist Brock Turner's sentence.


6. Kalief Browder's wait for trial.

Kalief Browder was a sixteen year old boy, accused of stealing a backpack. For this he was sent to Rikers Island in New York, where he spent three years waiting for a trial, only for the charges to be dropped. He ended up killing himself last June.

7. Turner's trial.

The assault took place in January of 2015 and Turner was not even sentenced until June 2016. That is 6 times longer than the time he served before being released.

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.
