As we all know, Brock Turner's sentence was a total joke. He committed a serious crime and was given a light, slap on the wrist sentence. Here are 10 things that are longer than Brock turners sentence.

1. Waiting for the new season of Orange in the New Black to come out.

2. A Game of Thrones episode

3. Waiting for your drink at Starbucks

4. Waiting to use the bathroom at a frat party.

5. Waiting for your phone to turn back on after being dead

6. Waiting for your food at a restaurant

7. Waiting for the Uber serge to go down

8. Waiting for the tracking information to be posted regarding your package from China.

9. A long nap

10. The commercial breaks during the bachelor.

Recently, California lawmakers voted to close what they called a "sentencing loophole" by implementing harsher penalties for similar assaults. Unfortunately, because Brock turner was tried and sentenced before this new law, this will have no effect on him. But this will, however, have a positive effect on anyone who is ever in a dangerous situation like this one. From now on, Justice will properly be served.

Because Brock turner inspired a new law, there's not a chance in hell anyone will ever forget him or the white privilege bullshit he tried to pull. Rest assured, the rest of Brock Turner's life will be hell. Even though justice wasn't officially served, life will be extremely difficult for Turner post conviction, as it should be.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
