12 Times You Knew You Were A Moderate

If your Republican family finds you wildly liberal and your Democratic friends find you strictly conservative... You're probably a moderate.

12 Times You Knew You Were A Moderate
BCNN1

Let's be real, if you identify yourself as a moderate, this political season was a very uncomfortable season for you. With the Democrats and the Republicans always arguing, you often felt like the child of divorced parents. Trying to make peace between two extremes is no easy task and often times people just think you can't make up your mind, but hopefully these 12 items make moderates and their friends laugh and realize what a weird, but a great position, it is to not identify with a particular party. So here are 12 times where I and maybe yourself confirmed the suspicion that you were definitely a moderate.

(Disclaimer: I am not speaking on behalf of all moderates, I'm just speaking for myself, so don't take this too seriously, it's just good fun!)

1. When you find yourself cringing at the words "always" or "never".


2. You wrote in a candidate for President, and felt like it was the best decision you could make.


3. Your conservative family members find you wildly liberal, and your liberal friends find you strictly conservative.


4. The words "Pro-Life Feminist" doesn't faze you one bit.


5. You can find the good in any President (If I could've voted back in '08, probably wouldn't have voted for Obama but hey, I can say he's done some cool things as President! Let's hope I can say the same about Trump.)


6. Joe Biden memes give you life.


7. This picture makes your heart so happy.


8. The letter Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hagar wrote to Sasha and Malia was one of your favorite things.


9. You roll your eyes every time someone says they are moving to Canada..


10. You really liked Scandal seasons 1-3 and hated it from then on.


11. You really liked Marco Rubio (Okay maybe that was just me...)


12. You know at the end of the day, whoever our President is, your duty is to be a citizen, and you want your country to succeed.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
