Okay...so this election has left everyone exhausted from arguing with each other. We've been viciously vying to prove that our candidate (whoever yours may be) deserved to win. We've been spreading so much hate and have forgotten something so incredibly important...

So let's refrain from going at each other's throats over this election and try to do literally anything else...

Here are some ways to keep your mind off of the 2016 Presidential Election:

1. When you're mad, just take a nap. Seriously, you'll feel way better when you wake up.

2. Watch tv. Mind-numbing bliss is way better than thinking about Hillary or Donald.

3. Sing. It'll put you in a better mood and help to calm your nerves.

4. Exercise! Endorphins!

5. Draw something. Even if you're not great at it, getting the creative juices flowing is great.

6. If you're kind of OCD, clean. Take your anger at the candidates out on that spot you're trying to clean off of the sink.

7. Grab a bite to eat. Food helps.Food always helps.

8. If none of these are working, write. Let out all of those emotions onto paper.

9. Read a book. Transport yourself into a world without Hillary and Donald.

10. Find a dog. Pet it. Instant fix.

11. Go on a drive with good friends and a good playlist.

12. Bake something. It'll calm you down, give you something to do, AND you get to eat what you make.

13. Catch up on that Netflix series your friends have been begging you to watch.

14. Go to that local place you've been wanting to check out, but haven't made the time for. And take a friend who hasn't been there yet!

15. Take a walk, a deep breath, and maybe even a shot. Whatever floats your boat.

Also, try to stay off of social media while you do these things. You'll thank me later.
