21 Things That Run Through Your Mind When You Don't Care About Politics

Politics. Recently, it is even more of a sore subject that it has been in the past. If you're anything like me (which I know a lot of you are) then words like election, president, and political party, mean absolutely nothing to you. Even though they should.

Yes, I am aware that it is my future. Yes, I am aware that I should care. However, I do not.

While everyone around you is talking about the upcoming election, about whether or not they are going to vote for Trump, Bernie, or Hilary, your brain is ANYWHERE else.

Here are some thoughts that may be running through your brain, while listening to people talk about the 2016 election.

1. I wonder what I'm going to have for dinner tonight?

2. Trump wants to build a wall?! How is that possible? Wouldn't that take like the entire time he is in office to build?

3. I should probably clean my room.

4. Yes! Grey's Anatomy is on tonight! I gotta remember to DVR it.

5. Wait, is Bernie actually dying or is he just old?

6. I'm never going to be able to keep up with this political jargon.

7. I wish I cared more. Why don't I care more?

8. I mean this kinda stuff doesn't affect me directly, does it?

9. I'll be dead before another World War happens anyway.

10. Wow. Some people really care about this crap. I wish I was like them.

11. Why is Chicago deep-dish pizza even considered real pizza?

12.Ted Cruz really might be the zodiac killer.

13. He might be Kevin from The Office too. They could be twins. It's weird.

14. Ugh, I need new shoes. I haven't looked down at my feet for this long in a really long time and I'm almost embarrassed.

15. Independent Party? I throw parties by myself all the time with a bottle of wine and endless Netflix.

16. INDEPENDENT PARTIES ALL DAY!

17. 38

18. I wonder who my cats would for? Cause that's who I'm going to vote for.

19. Hilary is a liar, but I might be a liar too if my husband had a Monica Lewinsky.

20. Oh, somebody's angry.

21. Wait, they're done talking about it! Yes!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
