12 Things To Do Instead Of Giving Donald Trump The Time Of Day

So, here you are reading another article with a 2016 presidential candidate's name in the title. Everywhere we look these days, people are bashing them, loving them, bringing up old scandals, or talking about how impossible their ideas are. The list goes on and on. Discussions about Donald Trump seem to be a new American pastime these days. He's constantly making rude, sexist, racist remarks and what are we doing about it? We're talking about how angry it makes us every day.

Why are we even giving this man the time of day? The younger generations generally don't like him. We get it. The more sh*t we talk, the more mouths his name is in, and the more that he wins. So, here are some things that you can do instead of wasting your time, energy, and that precious social media space of yours.


1. Watch "24" from start to finish.

Six days and two hours, that's how long it would take to get through the series and you would still be more productive than posting more nonsense about your opinions on Donald Trump.


2. Attend an Abraham Lincoln look-alike convention.

There's one in Columbus, Ohio. You can be amongst hundreds of Abraham Lincolns at the same time! Be a part of the reenactments, speeches, and endless fun that is clearly far more entertaining than thinking about Donald Trump!


3. Get a prairie dog and reenact your favorite TV show.

Who doesn't love a prarie dog Amy Poehler?


4. Bring back the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Nothing says activism like dumping a bucket of ice on your head to spread awareness about a disease that you know very little about. Bringing back this 2014 trend would still be more positive than spreading more opinions about Donald Trump throughout the Internet.


5. Be impressed that Vince Vaughn is a white belt.

Go on Youtube and check it out.


6. Check out this Instagram of two awesome goats.

They're Just two goats trying to make it in life, which is something that we all can relate to, unlike Donald Trump


7. Be one of those people who watch cat videos.


8. Request a stalker for a day.

You heard me right. Did you know that you can actually download an app that allows you to obtain a real-life follower for a day? Who needs social media followers when you can have a real-life one?


9. Find a cool recipe on Pinterest.


10. Realize that you can't cook and that it was a horrible idea to even try.


11. Learn about some stoner nuns.

Located in California, a few awesome photographers hung out with these marijuana-advocate nuns for a day. Unlike Donald Trump, here's something that you actually don't see every day.


12. Seriously, just do anything other than continually talk about Donald Trump.

Let's stop this madness. He's going to continue to say things that will get a rise out of you. Just ignore it and don't even waste your breath.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
