What A Time To Be Alive...

A Trump supporter rally is going to happen at the same time as a Juggalo rally.

I can't believe I forgot to date my calendar for tomorrow. September 16th is a very special day! It's a good thing that I remembered the event planned to take place in Washington, it's not every day I get to see a clash between Juggalos and Trump supporters. That is right, Juggalos and Trump supporters are going to be protesting in Washington this Saturday! Grab some popcorn and a soda, because it's about to go down. I know this is all so sudden-you're probably just as shocked as you are discombobulated, but bear with me for a second. I'll give you a quick run down on the situation at hand.

Let me give you a quick explanation of the motifs behind both parties. I'll start with the Trump supporters; here by known as "the Trumps". Apparently the Trumps are holding a "mother of all rallies" in support of "traditional" American culture. They want to show the fake mainstream media, leftists, and ultimately the world that America stands united with Trump; ready to protect their culture and boarders from globalist invaders. On the opposite side of ring, we have the Juggalos. In case you don't know, Juggalos are what the fans of musical hip hop group Insane Clown Posse call themselves. Unfortunately, their public image is less than stellar. To most people they are known as rambunctious, annoying fans who enjoy covering everything within their vicinity with Faygo, and have bad taste in music. The internet is no friend either as they've largely become a meme. In fact, their brand is so tarnished, the FBI has labeled them a "hybrid gang," which is exactly why they are protesting this Saturday. Unlike the former's motive, this is no laughing matter. They can lose their jobs and even the custody of their children.

It is interesting to note that the music group does not support racism (one of their songs actually attacks the confederate flag as a cultural symbol), so it will be interesting to see these two protest-rallies take place. Some people believe there will be a clash, while some believe otherwise. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling until tomorrow becomes today.

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.
