2016 has shown to be a very pivotal and history changing year. Bernie Sanders, a former Senator for the Socialist party was almost neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Mrs. Clinton, a former first lady and Secretary of State, has made history as the first woman to win a top party nomination for the presidency -- even after a nasty e-mail scandal. The Republican Party is being led by a business tycoon and television celebrity, whose favorite past time is talking about this big wall he wants to build along the southern border of the United States.

Gun rights are the hottest topic in politics, aside from police brutality and Black Lives Matter. We live in a world where we are bombarded by politics and social issues through every orifice of media. You turn on the television or radio and they are talking about what's happening in the Middle East and with the president and the election. You open Facebook or Twitter and everyone is bashing Clinton for being a terrorist and traitor and for Trump being a fascist and an idiot.

And you know what? I am so sick of it. So for the sake of hilarity, I have compiled a list of things I would absolutely love to hear about more than Clinton or Trump, or anything else remotely political.

1. How much money I am racking up in student loan debt.

2. The rise in tuition at my institute of higher education.

3. How my bank over drafted my account and won't refund my fee.

4. How comfortable my mother felt during her colonoscopy.

5. How many people called in to work at my job.

6. How I have to clean the toilet.

7. About my uncle's last bowel movement (Hint: It was a doosey).

8. That my dog just died.

9. That I still only make minimum wage at my job.

10. The thoughts anticipating my next gynecological exam.

11. How someone hasn't showered at all in three or four days.

12. Hearing the sound of smacking gum.

13. Watching kids destroy a display I just created at work.

14. Balancing my check book.

15. Talking to any customer service operator that speaks English as a second language.

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.
