We know he never really wanted to be included in it in the first place

Please Exclude Trump From This Narrative

Before I begin, I ask of you one thing: please do not let the fact that I’m not American make you think I’m not entitled to an opinion on this matter. I am. Anyhow, for the past months we’ve been witnesses to a somewhat tragicomical rise in Donald Trump’s political influence and position. A rise which has now resulted in him being the Republican candidate for President of the United States. And this is terrifying. I’m young, but I’ve seen my fair share of bad politicians (I come from a country where this man was the most voted Senate member in history) and somehow Donald Trump manages to top all of them.

Let’s be honest and admit that we never thought he’d get this far, and that is the sole reason no one did anything before he became the nominee. The idea of Donald Trump being so close to becoming President is so surreal that logical, good people could not fathom it actually happening (I have reason to believe the same thing happened with Brexit and look what we have now). Only his deluded supporters, who may somehow be even worse than he is, gave him the power to get to where he was: he was climbing up a flat hill, being helped up while nothing works against him or makes him struggle.

The fact that this man now has the palpable chance of becoming President is beyond me. He is racist, misogynistic, completely unprepared, impulsive, hot-headed, radical, a liar, and so many other negative qualities I can’t even finish listing. It took his repulsive comments about women in 2005 to make people finally start to consider that he should drop out of the race once and for all. And I’m glad it did, and I hope this costs him his reputation, election, name, everything. This bigoted fool should stick to stamping his surname throughout city skylines and being an A-class idiot and leave the country and its politics alone.

It worries me deeply what might happen to the world if he is actually elected. I do not want to imagine this becoming a reality because if I do I’ll find myself stuck in a mental blackhole with absolutely no way out. So please, please, if you can do something to stop this man from leading America and the world into the apocalypse (I do believe this will happen if he succeeds) please do. You may not like Hillary, but I believe we have reached the point where it isn’t pro or anti-Hillary anymore, it is pro or anti future, progress, equality, and peace. And if I can’t convince you to do so, and neither can all the headlines which continually show everybody what a genuinely horrible person this man is, let Robert de Niro do the job:

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
