10 Gifs That Describe Our Emotions On Election Day

The Californian

This election is unlike anything Americans have seen before. This may just be the most important presidential election in our nation's history, but no big deal right? The day has finally come to cast your ballots. After listening to everyone complain and argue for months about which candidate they were voting for, it is finally time to make those arguments matter and vote for the candidate you think is the best fit for our country. Everyone says it is the "lesser of two evils," which may be true. However, it is still important to vote even if this day makes you go crazy. Here are some GIFs that describe emotions you may feel during election day:

1. For many Americans, this day is very exciting. The outcome leads to a major change in our country, no matter which candidate ends up being victorious. Also, for first-time voters, this day is one for the memory books. It marks you being an actual adult and having a say in our country's political decisions.

2. However, if you thought this election was a sick joke all along, your reaction may be something like this when you see the ballot:

3. Or maybe more like this. Are you sure there isn't another option?

4. Standing in long lines, trying to finding a parking spot for 40 minutes and listening to other peoples' opinions for hours; election day may leave you like this:

5. Wait, so after today you're telling me I will no longer be harassed and bothered with "are you registered to vote?" questions everywhere I go on campus? Yay!

6. Wait, so after today you're telling me I will no longer be harassed and bothered with "are you registered to vote?" questions everywhere I go on campus? Yay!

7. This needs to be celebrated more one time. It is very exciting news!

8. At this point, the election could go either way. If Donald Trump is victorious, it might make his supports feel like this:

9. Or will Hillary Clinton finally be the first woman president? If she is, her supporters might feel like they're in their own little world.

10. Either way, this election race will probably make everyone extremely nervous and on edge ALL day long. Many will be unable to take their eyes off social media and news sites until the winner is revealed.

Happy election day all! Try not to let your emotions get the best of you! Good luck America; you're going to need it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
