15 Thoughts I Had During Election Coverage

It's that time again. Election time. Every four years in early November, millions of people exercise their right to vote. This particular election cycle has not only been more interesting than past elections, but has had some unique candidates. This year, our presedential nominees are Donald Trump, a multimillionaire businessman, and Hillary Clinton, a former first lady, secretary of state, and a point of focus in an FBI investigation (why is she a presidential candidate when she broke the law involving CLASSIFIED emails?).

So here it is. 15 thoughts I had while watching the Election 2016 Coverage

1. I wonder who will win.

2. Trump is doing better than I expected.

3. I have to be up by 5am to register for classes--I should go to sleep...

4. Well at least the Republicans held onto the House and Senate.

5. I have a date party and Winterglow to plan.

6. NO NO NO He needed that state!

7. This is too close

8. Why hasn't the Electoral College been thrown out?!

9. WHY. Why did it have to be these two?

10. How do you two step?

11. Oh, that's a cool pin!

12. 216-202? Too close.

13. Wait, we lost what state?!

14. I really need some sleep...

15. Don't call for a recount, just let it end.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
