Yes, He Actually Said That

Here is just some evidence as to why Trump would be a bigger environmental disaster than hurricane Sandy or Matthew.

Yes, He Actually Said That

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of politics. On one hand, I'm ready for the election to be over, but on the other hand, I'm not ready for either candidate to take office. I’m not a super political person, so it’s a bit strange for me to write about this. However, when I weigh the big issue that is important to me and that everyone needs to at least consider, it’s pretty clear who shouldn’t be in office.

On that note, here is just some evidence as to why Trump would be a bigger environmental disaster than hurricane Sandy or Matthew.

Ah, so…what’s the word...incorrect. I don’t know what parallel universe you are living in, Mr. Trump, but we’ve got recordhigh temperatures on record. Let me just fix that typo for you: Record high temps. Nice word-play, though!

My friend here must have missed the class on weather versus climate in fifth grade science. Big difference. Weather is temporary, and climate is permanent – hence the urgency of that so-called little nuisance climate change.

Sigh. OK, we got the point. It is cold, therefore climate change can't be real, and 97 percent of the global scientific community is wrong.

Hmm…I’m really trying to follow the logic behind these arguments, but I’m just not getting it. OK, moving along.


Me too! I am tired of hearing this nonsense as well. Clean, beautiful and healthy air sounds great, but he is totally missing the point. Can someone please explain to Mr. Trump the very basics of the environmental issues our planet faces today? We will work our way up to climate change.

Ah, yes. Well this one has been popular lately since Hillary called him out on it. His reply: “I did not. I do not say that.” Sure... Can I get a witness? He later claimed the tweet was a joke. Alright, then. My bad! Joke’s on me!

Well, his tweets say it all, don’t they? I mean, do I really need to elaborate? I’m not saying Clinton is exactly a climate warrior (at least she acknowledges that climate change is a real problem), just that it’s obvious who’s going to be less of a harm to the planet.That’s what this election is all about, right? The lesser of two evils.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
