How Can Women Support Trump?

This year is the first presidential election I am eligible to vote in and boy do I feel lucky. I may be young, but this is the craziest, most hostile election I’ve ever seen. I’ve never really been big into politics or that interested to be completely honest, but since this is my first time voting, I obviously needed to have an open mind and submerge myself into the craziness that is this presidential election.

After watching videos, news coverage and quite frankly just looking at social media, I completely agree that this election is basically choosing the lesser of the two evils.

I do not entirely agree with Hillary, but especially after watching the debate last night, I have no idea how any woman in her right mind could support Donald Trump.

I have never really considered myself as much of a feminist, but the things he says about women are just down right degrading and legitimately make me ill. When he was questioned last night about his comments during a video where he talked about grabbing women’s genitals and kissing them without consent, he very lightly played it off and repeatedly referred to his comments as “locker room talk.” He also tried to play off his comments by bringing up the “worse” things in the world, like Isis. Yes, Mr. Trump, Isis is quite horrible and terrifying, but that does not give you the right to demean the severity of the sexual assault of women in the United States and it especially does not give you the right to sexually assault women either.

He has had countless of other incidents of him completely disrespecting and belittling women throughout his whole campaign and his whole life to be frank. For example, when he referred to former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado as “Miss Piggy.” In regards to this he has also said "She was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem for us." Let’s also not forget about how he brings up the Clinton’s marriage every chance he gets and even claiming that Hillary obviously “can’t satisfy.” In what world is it ok to blame a woman for her husband’s infidelity?

This man has the opportunity to be the most powerful man in the world. In. The. World. That completely horrifies and disgusts me as a woman and I do not understand how he has a single female supporter to be blunt.

You might not like Hillary and you might think she has done wrong in her political career, but at least she has one. She has been around politics for over 40 years and regardless of any scandals that may have happened she has done a lot of great things and continues to advocate for the things she believes in instead of verbally attacking everyone and everything in sight.

Before you vote, please think about yourself and your daughters and your best friends and any woman in this country or even globally because no one should have to live in a world with such a disgustingly misogynistic man as the leader of the free world.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
