Hopefully by now most of you know the name Brock Turner. If not, let me fill you in. He was a student at Stanford University. He is 21 years old. He used to be a competitive swimmer. And on January 18, 2015 he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. He pleaded not guilty to FIVE felony charges and was found guilty, but only given 6 months in jail. Turner began his 6 month sentence on June 2nd of 2016 and was three months released early on September 2nd.

Brock Turner was in jail for a total of 90 days. For raping an unconscious woman.

90 days.

If that doesn’t make you angry then I’ll tell you just a few of the things that last longer than the time he spent in jail.

1. A potato.

According to OrganicLife.com, if you store a potato in the refrigerator and keep them safe, they can last up to 4 months. Just imagine what would’ve happened to Brock Turner if he had to spend four whole months in jail.

2. The filming of the Titanic.

It took 160 days to film The Titanic. That is still less than the time he was supposed to serve in the first place. He could have watched that movie 720 times with all of the free time he had in jail.

3. A cartilage piercing to heal.

The average cartilage piercing takes anywhere between 4 months to a year to heal completely. Turner’s suggested sentence was 6 years, he could’ve gotten so many piercings during that time.

4. A cruise around the world.

If you want to do something productive with your life you can go on a cruise around the whole world in as little as 106 days. Brock Turner could have done so much more with his life than spend 3 months in jail. He should have thought about that before he raped someone.

5. McDonald’s Burgers.

A man in Utah said he has kept a McDonald’s hamburger for 14 years and it still hasn't rotted. I wonder if Turner got McDonald’s in prison.

6. Summer.

Brock Turner missed almost the exact same amount of days as summer vacation. He missed only one of the four seasons. How will he ever get tan now?

7. Being Pregnant.

It takes 9 months to grow a human being inside a you, and hopefully that baby will not know about Brock Turner when it comes out.

8. Nail polish on your toes.

Once I painted my toes at the beginning of winter and it lasted until summer. That's a long time.

9. Stanley Yelnats's sentence at Camp Green Lake.

In the movie Holes, Stanley Yelnats was sentenced 18 months of service at Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. He toughed it out and served more than the three months Turner did.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
