Bernie Sanders: An old socialist scumbag that despite his appearing to be close to 90 years of age, will not go away. I cannot think of a politician I have more disdain for than Bernie Sanders (other than our president). His "Democratic Socialism" scam that he has been spoon-feeding to Americans for years is repulsive and he should get nowhere near the Oval Office. Even a 3rd place finish was too close for my liking.

So as someone who does not want to vote for season 2 of Donald Trump please for the love of God do not nominate Bernie Sanders. Democrats have the easiest job in the world to regain the presidency: Don't nominate someone that's the Walmart version of a Communist.

Almost all of Bernie's platform is inherently flawed and misguided and would be devastatingly bad for our economy and middle-class citizens. Despite what liberals and Sanders tell you, increasing the minimum wage by over 100% will increase prices of everyday products. More than that, flipping burgers simply is not worth that much money. A "living wage" is not something the government can just determine and make poverty disappear. The war on poverty failed because the government can never truly erase poverty, it has to be a societal change of helping one another and investing in jobs programs rather than welfare.

I have written about Sanders before and mentioned many of his flaws many times, but a new report that he could be gearing up for a 2020 run is a disturbing reality.

However, I need no more convincing that Sanders is a disaster waiting to happen if he were to obtain the Oval Office with a majority in Congress. Rather, it is the American people that do not seem to be informed on the issues Bernie gets wrong. A majority of Americans support single-payer health care which would cost an outrageous amount of money (the reason it has not even succeeded on a state level. If we want our healthcare to be run by the government and decrease its quality and hike taxes for most Americans than vote for Bernie.

Make no mistake, the ignorant mob of Americans that cling to Sanders' ideology does not validate his opinion. As we saw with the election of Trump, Americans can often make stupid political decisions.

I do not want to vote for a Trump term in 2020, please do not force me to. Republicans could nominate Mickey Mouse in 2020 and I'd hit the streets campaigning if Bernie was the opposition.

While Republicans continue to move farther right than, Democrats are also moving farther left. There is a golden opportunity for Democrats to get a president back and all they have to do is not be stupid.

Registered Democrats: Please vote for someone other than Bernie if he decides to run. Thank you in advance.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
