10 Reasons We're Experiencing Election Anxiety

As the election approaches, we can’t help but feel anxious towards the various comments and disagreement among parties. With the aggression surrounding this election on Facebook and in the Presidential debates, we can’t help but feel scared and apprehensive for the election of 2016 so here are some reasons we feel this way:

1. Sexist comments. From Trump’s tirades…



2. To Hillary’s approach to vote for her because she’s a woman; our respect level is running low.


3. The hypocrisy of both candidates' ideas versus their actions.


4. The empty promises. Every election year, we seem to be promised major change, so here comes the BS.



5. The childishness of it all.



6. The Twitter wars. If they can’t be civil in person or on social media, how are we supposed to expect them to be civil in office?




7. Are we running for president or are we getting sent to the principal's office? We’re all a little confused…and would rather hear their ideas. Save the argument for later.


8. The terrifying reality of politics that we've seen far too often.


9. Constantly questioning how can we trust either of them to lead this country is not the best foundation for this election.



10. Maybe they should follow their own advice and figure out a plan to move forward and ditch the current plan of attack they've been undergoing.

This election has evolved from banter to Twitter wars and Facebook disputes that continue to contribute to our election anxiety. Moving forward, our anxiety will alleviate if the candidates can show respect for one another and focus on America otherwise, this anxiety will become an epidemic.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
