13 Things I'd Rather Do Than Vote In This Election

For many young adults, this is our first time being allowed to vote. It's an exciting moment in our lives in which we can finally have a say in who will run our country. That being said, one would guess most of us millennials would be thrilled to vote in this upcoming election. Well, for many of us, that's not the case. Never in our country's presidential history have we had an election where the candidates fight on Twitter, call each other names, or, wait for it...create mock "Pokémon Go" presidential cards.

I can just picture George Washington and Abe Lincoln shaking their heads in disbelief. Now you can see why some first-time voters are a little disappointed that this is their first election. I, for one, am not looking forward to voting in this election. This is a list of things that I would rather do than vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

1. Vote for my dog.

She can't tweet or say anything mean, and she'll solve all issues by licking people to death.

2. Move.

Bora Bora sounds nice! Or maybe Fiji? Anywhere seems better than a country ruled by a "crook" or an oompa loompa.

3. Freeze my body until the next election.

Michael Jackson wanted to freeze his body, just for it to be defrosted like month-old chicken parm. That sounds pretty appealing to me (and so does the chicken parm). This way when enough time has passed, their time in office would be over. It would be like time traveling without the time machine.

4. Elect Kanye.

And, Taylor Swift will be his Vice President. I bet that would be less of a mess than one of our lovely candidates being in office.

5. Take a trip to space with Kim Kardashian.

Her implants probably couldn't take the air pressure after a few thousand feet, so then I'd have the whole shuttle to myself.

6. Listen to "Barbie Girl" on repeat for a year straight.

I'm talking constant replay. No breaks, ever. That high pitched voice will sound like sweet victory if I don't have to settle for one of these candidates.

7. Watch "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" until my eyes dry out.

I don't care how many "dollas" make her holler. I'd sit through it until my eyes couldn't take it anymore.

8. Take part in all Fear Factor challenges.

Having to eat sheep eyes and drink cow's blood were some of the most memorable episodes of Fear Factor. I'd even do the spider-filled bath.

9. Count grains of sand.

I'm talking about all of the sand on the planet.

10. Put the "Kars 4 Kids" song on replay, forever.

If you haven't heard this jingle, consider yourself blessed. It's the most annoyingly catchy song ever.

11. Read every single comment on YouTube.

Just think about how many comments there are on "Gangnam Style" alone.

12. Clean the Empire State Building with a toothbrush.

It's just 102 floors and 1,250 feet high with a toothbrush.

13. Elect Borat

He would be a great success. Very nice.

So forgive me for not jumping at the chance to vote for one of two 13-year-old's that fight over social media and call each other names. This isn't middle school, it's the presidential election.

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.
