Stop telling people to "give Trump and chance". Stop listening to snowflake Tomi bitch online because she's as ignorant as it gets.

Do you realize how many people are going to be effected because of Trump in office? He's already wanting to ban Muslims and refugees from this country and you want people to look at him and say "I respect you". Do I like the current president? Nope. Am I going to respect him? Hell no. He doesn't respect me, why should I respect him. He wants to take away my healthcare, possibly birth control, he wants to tell women what they should do with their bodies....Donald Trump has already made the worst possible decisions...and it's only been a week.

Don't tell me to "give him a chance" if he wants to send us into a fascist country. Don't ever say that he and Hillary Clinton are the same because Hillary would never ban anyone from entering the country. Hillary would never build a wall. Hillary would never take away your healthcare without a proper plan to switch it with.

I've noticed people, who voted for Trump, already regretting their decision. I don't feel sorry for them.

Over two million men and women participated in the women's march and I am proud to be a nasty woman. I never ever want to hear a woman say that they're "so over feminism" because if it wasn't for women like Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, Susan B. Anthony, Margret Sanger, Carol Downer, Margret Fuller, Eleanor Roosevelt, and so on, you wouldn't be able to go to school, get a job, say what you want to say, vote, do what you want to do basically. If it wasn't for the women before us, we wouldn't be able to do shit.

If you ever want to know what life was being discriminated against for being a woman: talk to your mother, your grandmother, your aunt, an older co-worker, a professor, a teacher, a businesswoman.

My mother told me that she was told me that she was told by a man that law school wasn't for women. This was back in the 80's....today, she's one of the best damn lawyers out there.

Talk to my grandmother, who experience having to work past the cut off date for a working mom because she didn't get paid maternity.

Don't you ever say you're over feminism or that we don't need it...because we sure as hell do.

Stop telling people to respect Trump because if you want to be serious...did you respect Barack?

Stop telling people to get over it, when his policies will impact another person more than you.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
