5 Reasons Not To Vote For Donald Trump
Time

No matter what your political status is (even if you're Republican), it’s hard to want to vote for Donald Trump. Yet somehow, against all odds, he has made his way out of the bloodbath that was the republican presidential primaries, with Ted Cruz resigning and John Kasich also retiring not long after.

For the people who are for some reason still voting for him and for the people who somehow might need insight on why you shouldn’t vote for Trump, here are five reasons why.

1. No proper political experience.


No, "The Apprentice" doesn’t count.

2. He lies. Often.

According to Politifact, only six percent of his statements were half true, while only two percent of his statements were completely true. The rest were wither mostly false, false or what Politifact calls "Pants on Fire," meaning the statement was false and also making exaggerated claims.

3. Insane propositions.


Building a wall to block Mexican immigrants? Banning Muslims from traveling to the US? I’m sorry, but I thought this was a democracy, not a dictatorship. Supporting views like this would eventually change this country for the worse.

4. Ridiculous conspiracy theories.


Birther questions involving Barack Obama's citizenship, former Supreme Court member Antonin Scalia’s death, 9/11, the list goes on—and continues to grow as he continues to forge more and more inane stories.

5. His hair.

Part of me wants to believe that hair has a mind of it’s own (if it's even real) and also is what’s causing him to make so many crazy decisions. In the meantime, we can always blow it away with a virtual trumpet.

No one should want to vote for such an authoritative figure with such controversial ideas. As a encompassing parody of America, voting for Trump would be just as crazy as wanting to vote for Kanye West as president. And no one would want to do that, right?

...right?

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
