7 Places Not To Move To If Trump Becomes President

I guess this Trump thing is getting pretty serious. Many people are talking about leaving America if he does become president. Whether they're serious or not, there are definitely some places you might want to consider steering clear from if you decide to get on that one way flight.

1. North Korea

Aside from the obvious reasons, if you were trying to escape Trump's reign, North Korea would most likely be the last place you'd want to go. Not only is the country completely bonkers, but North Korea just prompted Trump for president. Fast forward two years with Trump stopping by North Korea to play basketball with Kim Jun Un while North Korea has nuclear missiles pointed at Seoul and Los Angeles.

2. Russia

Since Putin and Trump are basically the same person and going to have the biggest historical bromance, I think it's safe to say that Russia would not be a great place to go if you were trying to escape egocentrism.

3. China

Unless you like communism, China is not the place for you. Trump's constant berating of the Chinese and their government will definitely end in some kind of armed conflict between the two and I'm assuming you wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

4. Syria

So we have people leaving, ISIS killing everyone and destroying everything, Assad making a complete and utter mess out of everything and Russia not doing anything to help, Syria is definitely one you will want to avoid going to.

5. Venezuela

Listed as the most corrupt and least free nation, I don't think any American would be able to call Venezuela a home. Caracas, the capital, has experienced widespread famine over the past few years, and the Venezuelan government is doing nothing to alleviate it. So, if you like you posh, first world lifestyle, Venezuela is not the place for you.

6. Brazil

Brazil just ousted their president after the Petrobras scandal which created a political vacuum and instability in the nation. Let's also not forget that Zika is still at pandemic levels with no cure. I would say that at least you could at least go to the Olympics, but many organizations are calling for the Olympics to be canceled or moved somewhere else.

7. Turkey

Turkey is just fighting with everyone. The Kurds, ISIS, the US sometimes. Known to be a hotbed for terrorism, Turkey is probably one of the least safe places to be right now.

It's clear a lot of other countries do not sound appealing to move to if Trump becomes president. Therefore, this satirical piece was written to make the point that rather than saying you're going to move to another country if Trump becomes president, vote in the election so he never does.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
