20 Political GIFs You Need In Your Life

Politics can be terribly divisive: angry Facebook posts, ridiculous tweets from presidential candidates, and the media blowing everything out of proportion. It seems that politics is becoming less and less enjoyable as people argue more instead of listening to the other side. In this bipartisan system, where can people find common ground?

I think one thing we can all appreciate are GIFs. Whether in Odyssey articles, Tumblr posts, or Facebook feeds, GIFs are always a solid way of boosting the awesomeness of whatever you're talking about. So the next time you're in a heated political argument with someone, send them one of these GIFs. It'll help with your argument (maybe), and at least lighten the mood. Or maybe you're just in a mood that can only be explained by Bernie Sanders waving his hands around or Hillary Clinton shaking her head in disapproval. Whatever your situation, here are some political GIFs to help you out.

1. For when you're happy:

2. And for when you're sad:

3. When you make a point and no one can argue against it:

4. Here's a good reaction GIF for all of those stupid Facebook arguments you see in your feed...

5. But then someone says something you agree with:

6. And you casually interject your opinion.

SNL during presidential campaigns is always fun. Props to Larry David for doing an awesome job of impersonating Sanders!

7. And then you have to break up the argument before things gets too crazy.

8. When just... no:


Clinton is having none of that.

9. For when you are, um, celebrating Bernie's stance on certain recreational activities:

10. For when you’re just plain confused. Perplexed. And amused... all at once!

Donald Trump understands your emotions.

11. For when you miss your pets:

See, even puppies bring out the best in politicians.

12. For when you're just not impressed by the other person's political statement.

You could say this is a very unamused Ted Cruz.

13. When you’re just done with everything and everyone.

14. For when it’s time to party.

15. For those times you feel like you're a being a boss at life.

Politicians sure like to wave their hands around...

16. The face of disapproval.

17. And the Trump himself with a sign of approval.

18. Perhaps this is your face when you meet someone with the same political views as you.

"You're a fan of O'Malley's band, too?" *smitten*

19. Maybe politics got you so down, you need to eat all of the feelings away...


20. And, finally, when you just don't know what people are debating about anymore, so you awkwardly stand there and pretend that you do.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
