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.

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.
