An Open Letter To Donald Trump Before The Election
Oliver Willis

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can honestly commend you for making it this far in the election. You fought all odds and beat everyone’s expectations by being here at this point. Despite this, I can say that I despise you.

You think that by intimidating and scaring people, you’ll get your way. You think that by perpetuating distasteful stereotypes people will like you. Well, you are wrong.

Your racist and derogatory rhetoric turn people away from your campaign. Whatever great ideas you may think that you have are completely obliterated when you open your mouth and let that steady flow of bigoted garbage flow.

You are not a trustworthy man, be it with the multiple times you’ve gone bankrupt or the numerous times you’ve engaged in affairs outside of your current relationships. If you can’t be trusted in your business or personal life, how can a nation of hundreds of millions of people trust you with top-secret information, nuclear codes, and time-sensitive data?

You are also offensive to almost everyone you meet. You can’t meet a single person without making a snarky comment about their character or behavior. Is it possible for the US to have strong diplomatic relations with any other country if you treat them this same way?

You’ve alienated large groups of people, be it women, Hispanics, African-Americans or other groups with your thoughtless actions and belief that you can marginalize whole groups of people and still win the election.

Your privilege disgusts us all. You think that starting with only one million dollars makes your life hard. What about families that barely survive on $20,000-$30,000 a year? You don’t understand the plight of a common man. Those of us who are willing enough to become entrepreneurs have to take loans from the banks of tens of thousands of dollars, struggling and wondering how we will ever pay them back. We don’t have the luxury of being given millions of dollars and then complaining about it.

You also lie more than any other candidate. The fact-checkers after every debate show that half your statements are wrong. When you claim to your opponent that you never said certain things, evidence will pull up, showing that you did indeed do and say those things.

Honestly, Mr. Trump, I can’t wait for election day. I can’t wait for you to finally get what you deserve – a loss. Maybe then you’ll learn that racism, sexism, homophobia, and overall nastiness won’t get you everything in life.

Sincerely,

Every individual in the United States

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
