"Men should never have given women the right to vote" twitter user @hollyanswers claims.

Thursday morning, I saw this article discussing the Trump backers that have decided to suggest removal of women's voting rights, since Trump would win, based on this analysis. You read all that right--because male supporters of Trump aren't getting what they want, they would rather remove women's right to vote than continue to believe that their female counterparts have valid voices in a country they live in, supposedly, as equals. If you can find me a better demonstration of how flawlessly the seat of women as second-class citizens has been maintained, I'd be amazed. However, this is not just men propagating this hashtag, there are also female supporters claiming they'd be willing to give up their vote for Trump to win.

And this is after all the gregarious claims he has made against women, and then blatantly refused.

This is giving up a right women have not yet held for a full 100 years.

The likelihood of this repeal taking place before November is essentially none. "Essentially" even makes light of it--this isn't possible to be done before the election. That didn't stop twitter from responding in typical twitter fashion and smashing #repealthe19th like they've smashed other heinous hashtags.

So go vote. For the love of pretending women and men are treated equally, go vote.

I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. I'm not here to tell you who I'm going to vote for. In fact, I'm literally just here to tell you to vote. Women need to use this right, we need to follow through with our duty, because there are other citizens in our country who actively want to remove it from us. And how dare they.

Now, go watch "Iron Jawed Angels" and stomp to those polls.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
