12 Things Longer Than Brock Turner's Served Sentence

The uproar that happened after finding out about Brock Turner and his stupid decisions turned this world upside down. So where is all the uproar now, because he is being realized from his short 6 month sentence a whole 3 months early for "good behavior". That is absolutely ridiculous. And just as equally ridiculous here are 11 things that lasted longer than Brock Turner's sentence.

1. A middle school relationship.

Yeah, that's a long relationship for middle school, but trust me, i've seen relationships in 6th and 7th grade that lasted longer than 3 months, which should be a record.

2. That bottle of mustard sitting in the fridge.

Seriously, it's been there well over 3 months, but you just can't seem to get rid of it.

3. That one time you got grounded.

Doesn't matter what you did, what matter's is that it lasted longer than 3 months.

4. A Netflix binge.

Seriously, someone could binge on Netflix longer than Brock Turner's sentence.

5. The nail polish on my nails.

Sometimes, it takes ages for that stuff to come off, definitely over 3 months.

6. A semester of school

Honestly, how is that even remotely fair?

7. Summer Break

Again, totally not fair.

8. That one girl's snapchat story

Seriously, I feel like it takes months to get through that mess.

9. The total amount people sit in traffic for a lifetime.

You read that right. 3 months are spent sitting in traffic. Approximately 38 hours a year.

10. A whole season of American Idol.

One of those seasons last about 120 days. Just let that sink in.

11. A high school football season.

Seriously, boys are playing football longer than a convicted rapist is in prison. Ok.

12. The memory of Harambe.

That whole incident happened in May, it's been over 3 months, and people are still pissed. RIP.

Seems ridiculous right? All these things can last longer than a convicted rapist is in prison, literally unbelievable.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
