Hell

A Donald Trump Presidency

Hell

I envision Hell as a place where women's rights are slipping away. Where powerful, white men are able to dictate what women are able to do with their bodies. I envision Hell as a place where women are punished for having an abortion. And having an abortion will be completely nonexistent in the near future.

I envision Hell as a place where women are treated in misogynistic ways. Where rape is advertised and will soon be the new normal. Where it is okay to "grab women by the pussy" and call them horrible names. Where women feel unsafe walking alone at night because they don't know if they'll be alive the next morning.

I envision Hell as a place where it is okay to assume a woman is menstruating because she asks deep and meaningful questions. Where women's breasts are sexualized in lingerie advertisements and pornography but shamed when breastfeeding their infants because it is viewed as disgusting.

I envision Hell as a place where marginalized groups are treated with disrespect and inequality. Where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other individuals are treated as if they are nonexistent and don't have a place here. I envision Hell as a place where suicide rates are on the rise because these people would rather die than be who they really are. Because our society still fails to accept them.

I envision Hell as a place where the color of someone's skin determines if they are criminals. Where young, black men are the victims are police brutality. I envision Hell as a place where immigrants are viewed as rapists. Where children are taken away from their parents at the border and kept in cages. I envision Hell as a place where building a wall to keep hopeful people out of our country has become the rhetoric that we hear daily.

I envision Hell as a place where school shootings have become an everyday occurrence in our society. Where innocent students are shot and killed. I envision Hell as a place where parents must identify the corpses of their young children. Where parents have to bury their child because nothing is being done about gun violence. I envision Hell as a place where teachers die to save the lives of their students. Where thoughts of arming teachers with guns appear to be a good idea because apparently, it is the only way we can save lives.

I envision Hell as a place where the time for prayer must stop and the time for action must begin.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
