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.

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
