Dear Tomi

Please Stop Talking

Dear Tomi

Oh my how the cookie is crumbling, America. Donald Trump is the President of the United States of Conservatives, Tomi Lohren is still talking, and Bannon/Putin are running the show in America. Thankfully, in the small glimmer of good news that we the people received this week, is that Beyonce is pregnant with twins. I mean, honestly, if you are not screaming about this, please call your Uber and see yourself out.

While watching the Super Bowl (and at the time of writing this the Atlanta Falcons are kissing Patriot ass, which makes me a little deflated), I actively browsed Twitter. I mean, look, it is a late Sunday night, I’m sick, and Lady Gaga brought life to the LGBT+ community in a time where we are basically waiting for Trump and his small hands to sign an executive order that is the inspiration by a future Stonewall Inn like event.

Mark my words, it could happen. But while on Twitter, I came across a tweet from conservative “talk show” host Tomi Lohren, we reacted like quite the snowflake at the Audi commercial in this years Super Bowl that promoted the idea of gender equality, that women are equal to men.


Lohren, born and raised in a military family and a graduate of UNLV, shot back at Audi for having the balls to suggest women aren’t already equal to men. You know, just months after the most qualified female candidate for any elected position lost an election to an orange cheeto. Literally. According to Lohren, just because The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963, which means obviously, that every women gets paid the same amount of men.



Honey, I don’t know what alcohol you are drinking that makes you this delusional but you need to sober up. Women are non stop advocating on social media, in traditional media, in campaigns of all sizes that they do not get equal pay for equal work in comparison to their male peers. According to a study that you can find here, “…that in 2015, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 80 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 20 percent?...At the rate of change between 1960 and 2015, women are expected to reach pay equity with men in 2059.” So congratulations Tomi, in approximately 42 years we MAY have equal pay for women. God willing you won’t be on television then, but if by some unfortunate act of God you are, then at the very least I hope you get equal pay.

But seriously, I hope you are not on television by then.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
