An inside scoop on bigotry

Things Trump Supporters Say

It seems like I really have to just come to the understanding that people are seriously voting for the biggest bigot to ever run for president. So I also have to understand that there are many more bigots than I originally envisioned walking the country. However, bigotry comes from small-minded people—and small-brained. So I just want to point out some of the responses I've been given in arguments that prove this.


Me: Aren't you an immigrant?
Trump supporter: Yeah, but I don't fit the profile of the immigrants Trump is against.


Trump supporter: Why can't we be happy having two different opinions?
Me: Because your opinion involves voting for someone who seeks to oppress women, aka me.
Trump supporter: True.


Trump supporter: Melania really messed up. It's clear that she copied everything word-for-word from Michelle Obama.
The next day...
Same Trump supporter: They were just really similar; the words weren't even in the same order.


Trump supporter: Donald Trump is the emblem of the American Dream.
Me: He was actually always rich. Hillary came from a lower class background to become the first woman to be a presidential nominee.
Trump supporter: Well that's because of her last name.


Trump supporter: People who like Donald Trump are very open-minded and like discussion—unlike the intolerant left.


Me: Oh, for sure...


I'm not saying people can't have an opinion, I'm just saying: an opinion can be based on no facts at all and, therefore, be wrong.

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.

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.
