I'm sure you are all familiar with the latest trend of creepy clowns terrorizing civilians throughout the nation... Some of you may actually be scared of being attacked while others find it humorous and non-threatening that individuals dress up in these freaky costumes and stand in the middle of a deserted road watching you drive by. Regardless of which side you fall on, I can tell you this: there are things MUCH scarier than these terrifying clowns... and here they are:

1. Donald Trump

I don't know what's scarier.... this sexist, misogynistic, racist, disgusting (barely human) individual or the fact that so many Americans are being fooled into believing that he is what will "make America great again."

2. A missed call from Mom

If Donald Trump isn't enough of a reason to flee the country, then I think a missed call from mom should do it for you.

3. Missing your period (if you're a girl)

Whether or not you're sexually active, if you miss your period you kind of have an internal meltdown where you believe that you are in fact pregnant even though there could be a 0% chance that you are. We've all been there.

4. Finals week

I apologize to those of you who are internally crying at the thought of finals week (which is only in 10 weeks might I add)...don't worry though, the thought of 23872394 exams makes us all want to die. I'm sure if given the choice between taking final exams and having a clown chase us through the woods at midnight carrying a machete, we all would choose the more reasonable scenario: the clown with the machete.

5. Terrorism

On a serious note, while these people dressed up as clowns do pose a threat in some cases, this clown trend is not nearly as serious or concerning as the threat that terrorism poses on Americans and those in other countries every single day. It actually pisses me off that with so many terrible things happening in America today: police brutality, terrorism, etc. people have the audacity to dress up as freaking clowns and try to scare or actually attack innocent people. We face enough threats from other countries that Americans don't need to be turning on other Americans. These "terrorizing clowns" need to cut it out, because we have enough to worry about.
