8 Names You Should Say Instead Of Trump

I think "F**face Von Clownstick" has a nice ring to it.

Remember Snooki? She was the breakout star of "Jersey Shore," in that she’s most likely having a herpes breakout as we speak. In 2010, every human being in the country knew about her. In 2011, she wrote a book that was an honest to god New York Times Best Seller. In 2012, nobody gave a shit. It wasn’t because she had changed; it was because everyone stopped saying her name. Like Beetlejuice, she only showed up when you said her name. And like Freddy Krueger, she lost her power when you stopped remembering her.

Trump’s campaign is what would happen if Snooki never stopped being popular and then ran for president. They were both reality TV stars, and they possess the same skill set — getting attention. That means they possess the same weakness — lack of attention. Trump is nothing if nobody talks about him. Unfortunately, you can’t just not cover the Republican presidential candidate. But you still take his power away if you don’t use his name, even if it’s a very amount. Trump understands this as well, branding his political enemies with childishly simple nicknames like “Little Marco” or “Low Energy Jeb” or “Lyin’ Ted."

John Oliver got to this point with the #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain campaign. But at some point, you get used to that alternate name. I compiled a list of my favorites. So instead of saying Trump, say:

1. Cheeto Jesus

This one actually came from a GOP staffer.

2. F**kface Von Clownstick

A gem from Jon Stewart, and my personal favorite.

3. Short-fingered vulgarian

From Spy magazine all the way back in 1988.

4. Antique doll-hair thief

Also from The Daily Show.

5. Sentient YouTube comment

From the wonderful Olivia Nuzzi.

6. Human dumpster fire

The implication of Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse’s excuse for not going to the RNC.

7. Blonde milk shit

That one’s from Mexican drug lord El Chapo.

8. Feckless blowhard

From the well respected Des Moines Register.

I get the irony of writing an article about someone you say should get less attention. But if we have to write, read or think about this sentient tangerine fruit leather, we should at least do it with the level of respect he deserves.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
