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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
