Why I Refuse To Vote For Hillary Clinton

Why should a pathological liar be the leader of this country?

As a woman, a lot of Americans think that all women should be voting for Hillary Clinton. They say Trump is degrading toward women. Voting for him will cause us to go back far in history, taking away our rights such as pro-choice, according to most feministic magazines, blogs, and even news channels. However, I would rather have the right to not get an abortion than a pathological liar for president.

Clinton claims that she is all for women's rights but did she or did she not get charges for a 42-year-old rapist dropped? The girl was 12. Girl. Women's rights? She laughs about it too, saying she knew he was guilty. How is this ethical and how does this match up with women's rights? It doesn't. There are also videos of her talking about her political views, topics like she is against gay marriage, that she is suddenly for. She will say anything to get elected for president.

Clinton got fired from the Watergate investigation because she removed files and then lied about it. How are we going to have someone for president that constantly lies to protect themselves? That is not even counting all of the emails she deleted, putting the nation at risk, that she lied about and refused to be accountable for.

Let's not forget to mention that her own party refuses to support her. Bernie Sanders even said Clinton was "unqualified for president," someone in her own party does not even want to vote for her. Obama did not support her either until she was the only candidate left in the party. This has to speak volumes about the type of leader she is: in the words of Donald Trump "very bad."

What about amendment rights? Clinton wants to get rid of American's right to bare arms. Of course her security guards will still have guns though. How is that fair? Regular citizens are not allowed to protect themselves with their amendment rights but superiors are entitled to it? It is not just.

In the last debate, Trump also brought up a very valid point. With as much money as Clinton has made in her political career thus far, why does she refuse to at least somewhat fund her own campaign? She is instead taking money from countries who suppress women and kill gays. She supports these people in America so why does she not support them globally? If she cares about both of these groups of people so much, why would she gladly take money from countries that hate them?

I am not saying Trump is perfect by any means, but what I am saying is that he is the lesser of two evils between the two candidates and that is why i will be voting for him this upcoming November.

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.
