Election years always prove to be interesting. Blue states and red states. Liberals and conservatives. Debates here and debates there. Controversy after controversy. With Super Tuesday arriving, things are becoming especially heated. Everyone is advocating for their favorite candidate and you pretty much try to avoid Facebook at all costs. Presidential races can be overwhelming when no one seems to agree. Speculations are circling as to who each candidate would select as their running mate. But, I know there is one dynamic duo we would all like to see run for president.

1. They answer the hard-hitting questions.

These are the things America needs to know.

2. They're hip, making them relatable to young voters.


Through Grammy-worthy musical productions, Michael and Dwight can draw young voters out to the polls.

3. The sky is their limit.

They're ambitious.

4. They're both Olympic medalists.


OK, OK...they're "Office Olympics" medalists. Close enough right?

5. They're up front with their past.


Sometimes he'll sing in the shower or spend too much time volunteering.

6. They have state-of-the-art military tactics they plan to implement.


Dwight is the first to let you know he has a black belt in karate (and he knows how to use it).

7. They can communicate without using words.


Communication is key, and these two know exactly how to do that. Using words, or not.

8. They recover from opposition well.

They're rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off them and back to you.

9. They have a clear stance on economic issues.


Like the Notorious B.I.G., Michael and Dwight prescribe to the philosophy of "mo' money, mo' problems."

10. And healthcare.


There is no healthcare in the wild.

11. They think about the consequences of their actions.


It's simple, really.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
